So Im looking to purchase a decent range finder, I've never owned one.
Cabelas has these two in which I'm kinda interested it.

1. Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC
2.ProStaff 550 rangefinder

They offer a package deal that includes a scope.
They are running about the same price give or take $20.

I know one has ARC and the other doesnt. Is it good to have, or does it cause more confusion?

Also, if I buy the package deal, do you know what scopes cones with them? They dont say it in the description.
Thanks

Get the nikon riflehunter, Easy operation and has the ID tech same as arc wgich is good out to about 550 yards! I love mine.

IMHO save a little more and get a Nikon or leupold. This is something you will have a long time. Get the best quality you can afford.
If you are limited in your finances and need one now I would probably go with the Bushnell.
I have the "ARC" technology in my Leupold and unless you are shooting at very steep angles you probably do not need it

I bought the ProStaff 550 earlier this year for hunting and so far have been pleased with it.

I owned a bushnell sport and upgraded to the ARC. I never had a problem with either unit and just wanted the arc for a hunt out west for the rifle mode with drop compensation.

I think you will be much happier the the Nikon riflehunter. It has the same ID tech system that allows for the incline and decline adjustments... very easy to use and a lot better quality. go with Nikon you will not regret it.
