    Don't leave on a hunting trip without it, Nikon Prostaff 550. Don't use it for 3D though.

    Got a Bushnell Sport 450. I know they're not top of the range, but I've found it works very well in most situations.

    I take it with me if I go for a jog or walk and just point it at various objects at various distances. On other days I don't take it with me and guess distance, then when I'm at the same spot and have it, I see how accurate I was. It has really helped me guage distances.

    ^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^

    I bought a Nikon Monarch 800 about a year and a half ago. Works quite well. I've repeatedly ranged "soft" targets out to 700+ yards and "hard" targets further yet. It doesn't have the angle calculator built in but I don't feel I really need it as I've never hunted from a tree-stand and don't have any inclination to do so (at least not at this time).

    I have bought three of them, but lost two!

    The one I still have, is the Nikon Archer's Choice, but my favorite was my Nikon 440.
