    Nikon Archer's Choice hands down for me. Spent a lot of time looking through all they had on display at a Bass Pro one day and by far they had the best clarity and simple to use. Often when I am looking for my binoculars I just grab the range finder and use it for spotting from the stand.

    I got the Nikon for my birthday this year. Been using it to range the squirrels in the back yard. I love the fact it compensates for the angle. Having it has allowed me to go back to my single pin sight, that and it works better on my bow.

    I had a Leupold Vendetta...sold it. Got a Bushnell Chuck Adams Edition with ARC now. Found it new on Ebay for $130. Works really well for the money.

    We use both the nikon archers choice and the bushnell scout and they both have arc and have worked great for us.

    I've had my Leupold RX-1000 TBR for a couple years now. It's the best range finder I've owned.

    The thing I like about my Bushnell chuck Adams is the arc works 5-99 yards. Then after that its regular out to 850.

    Nikon Archers choice by far a superior range finder based strictly on clarity. The angle compensation is good too.

    have had great use out of my Buhsnell scout w/ARC. Think it will go out to a 1000 yards or something.


    A buddy has the Nikon, its very nice.
