Best Rangefinder?

i am looking for a rangefinder that i can use for both archery and gun hunting. i first looked at the nikon archer's choice, i liked how it compensates for changes in elevation, but it seemed like it is only good to 100 yards, not enough for rifle. i was then looking at the leupold tbr 750, but it got average reviews and many people said the tbr (leupolds elevation compensation) wasnt worth a damn. any advice?

 

I have the bushnell Scout 1000 with arc technology and i love it. http://www.bushnell.com/products/rangefinders/scout-1000-arc/

 

I have had the archers choice for a couple years and it works great, hasn't failed on me once. If you'll be doing any gun hunting like you said this wouldn't be what you wanted. I tried to see how far out I could get mine to read but, I can't remember what I got it to.

 

I have the same and hate one thing about it. When looking through, it shows the real yardage big then to the lower right is shows the arc yardage, I wish they were swapped.

 

i also have the bushnell with arc and i love it it works well for rifle and bow

 

I have heard a lot of good things about the new Simmons vertical rangefinder. It does not have arc but its not too expensive either.

 

i also have the arc 1000. kskcheche i also wish it was switched around but it is a great range finder. i love that it preprogrammed for lots of different caliber for rifle ballistic drop. bushnell also like to give away a fleece when you buy one so thats a plus but if your like me. i sent my rebate slip for the fleece in and got it mailed back saying that address didnt exist. so......

 

Take a look at the Nikon Riflehunter 550, It has ARC and is good out to 550 yards.

 

I, too, have the Bushnell Arc 1000. It's nice, light, has plenty of features, and yes I wish the actual/read yardage markers were swapped as well. My Nikon 440 (without arc) stopped working after one season.

 

Bushnell ARC 1000

 

I have an oooooold Bushnell Scout. I've abused the snot out of that poor thing and it keeps going. Only recently did it croak.. but I dried it out (it was soaked and then frozen) and put a new battery in it and it seems to be okay.

If I were to buy another range finder today, it would be the Bushnell Scout 1000.

 

20 feet in a tree stand, shootin on flat terrain with no hills, would regular range finders display the true yardage or would it be off due to the elevation @ 20 feet on flat ground?
