    I am going to buy a new range finder in the next few days and want to know which one to buy. I am down to the Nikon pro staff 550 or the Bushnell Bowhunter Chuck Adams Edition.The Bushnell I can get for $150 or the Nikon for $190. I want to buy the best quality one and dont want to regret buying one. They both get good reviews. Which one would you pick and why? Thanks in advance.

    Ps here are the links to the 2.

    Pretty much just a matter of preference and, myself, I prefer nikon. I have the 440 and have had and still have a number of their cameras. I have had good experiences with nikon stuff.

    Thats what I was thinking. I really dont need the ARC technology since it doesnt change yardage that much. Ill just go look at both and decide by feel. Thanks for the help guys.

    I looked at the Nikon the other day while I was shopping for one and it was comfortable in the hand and very clear. Nikon makes good quality lenses.

    Thanks I am going to the store tonight to let the rangefinder pick me. I am completely stuck so it will be the one that feels best.
