This is my first LRF, and I'm very happy with it. I shoot long range rifles and have used this to make accurate hits from 100 to 1000 yards, and many various distances in between. I tried to range a 4' target at 1 mile, but it can't, which is outside of it's advertised range anyway. I don't know how far past 1000 yards it will go, as I don't have any known distances between 1000 yards and 1 mile to compare to. This LRF is extremely simple to use, and I can't keep it out of my buddies hands while at the range. I'm very pleased with it's performance for the money spent.
I have owned this product for almost 1 year, and it has been flawless.
Pros: Accuracy and ease of use
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

I love this thing. I have a ARC 1000 and it starts to fade off on objects at 600 and backgrounds at 800. This thing works on buildings, treelines, and even large animals well past 1000 yds. It does it very quickly too. My 1000 seems to take 20-30 sec to register anything past 400 yards but this will give 1000+ readings in 2-3 sec. If you are looking for a long range finder it is worth the extra money over some of the cheaper ones.
Pros: Works well past 1000 yds and is very accurate
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

Overall a good product. The yardage measurements and angle compensator are very accurate which is nice for a long range shooter. The ballistic information is cool if you have a common caliber and stock gun. Overall it gets the job done
Pros: accurate yardage
Cons: lighting is too dim
Would recommend: Yes

It's a shame for the price it won't last through one battery or a year.Always kept in gun case and in house or in camper when hunting.made long,long shots a breeze .But slowly lost ranging ability in the last month. Warranty/customer service denies warranty and said its your problem. just go with gut and get a Leopold.
Pros: nice glass easy to use
Cons: won't last 1 year, warranty
Would recommend: No

Have a Leica 1200 range finder Which reads to 400 yds well. After that can only read very large reflective targets. This Bushnell reads everything way beyond 1300 yds so far. I'm thrilled as are everyone that I've let use it.
Pros: reads at distance fantasticly
Cons: red hard to see in bright light
Would recommend: Yes

An excellent unit for hunting and also to establish the distance to a point of interest. I wish it could also display the coordinates of the target.
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Difficult to set up
Would recommend: Yes

These are the best rangefinders for the money! They are waterproof, have a LED display.The one I have,consistently hit deer size targets at over 900 meters and I have even got readings of a 1690 meters on trees and 1650 meters on church tower! My only complaint is that the display can be hard to see in bright light with bright backgrounds.
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes

This is a great rangefinder for the money. I have an older bushnell 1000 and a bushnell 550 and the arc 1600 is infinitely better. I've ranged rocks as far as 1775 yards, a horse in a flat field to about 600 yards, trees to 1250. Only negative is that the display is not visible in daylight conditions with most backgrounds; it is entirely too dim and the color is not the best. My older models had black displays and were visible in all conditions. Seems they fixed what was not broken. Still very much worth the money.
Pros: fast, repeatable, ranges very long distances
Cons: display is horrible in daylight condition
Would recommend: Yes
