Stop guessing at distances while on the hunting range with the Nikon RifleHunter 550 laser rangefinder. Offering absolute precision in the palm of your hand, the RifleHunter 500 employs Nikon's advanced Tru-Target ranging system, which lets users prioritize smaller and harder-to-range lone targets at the push of a button. As a result, it's easier than ever to range objects as small as fence posts, or get an instant read on that lone buck in the meadow. The unit also relies on Nikon's advanced ID technology to compensate for various incline or decline shooting angles--up to an incredible plus-or-minus 89 degrees (nearly vertical up or down). And thanks to Nikon's digital measurement processor, you'll enjoy speedy 1/2-yard accuracy within 99.5 yards, and 1-yard accuracy from 100 to 550 yards. On the other end of the spectrum, the unit can range as close as 11 yards, so you aren't restricted to long-distance targets only.

Add in such features as 6x multicoated optics, an eyeglass-friendly 18mm of eye relief, 100-percent waterproof and fogproof construction; and a maximum measurement of 733 yards and you have a comfortable, powerful range finder that leaves its competitors in the dust. Designed and engineered specifically for the rifle hunter, the device measures 1.5 by 2.7 by 5.1 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 6.3 ounces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great First Impression, March 30, 2009

My first impression is that this is a very good rangefinder for the money. Without using the owner's manual, I was quickly able to check ranges of several objects at our ranch - trees, metal surfaces and animals were ranged for variety - and all of them appeared to be quite accurate. Conditions were windy and mostly sunny and my time was limited, but so far I'm impressed. I look forward to using it under other conditions, such as lower light/overcast/etc. While hog hunting with a friend recently, he was using his Leupold rangefinder and was unable to get it to change to the proper mode through repeated attempts without his manual. From what I have read and from my limited experience to this point, the Nikon is a simpler device. I found it to be user-friendly and intuitive. I also own a Nikon Monarch UCC scope which has been quite impressive, with great low-light performance. I hope the quality level of this rangefinder continues to be on par with what I have come to expect from my scope. Initial results are very good!

i really like this product, has worked in all kinds of weather for me, i have even "shot" it through a double pane glass window and it was accurate. it does have the ability to give you both line of sight distance and horizontal distance which is good for making a shot up or down a steep incline. i only wish it would tell you the exact angle of the slope as well, probably not a big deal for most folks but i just like to know that kind of thing. all in all i really do like it, passes time while your sitting in the treestand

This unit seems to work pretty well. Had a little trouble on distant objects when closer brush was nearby. Unit wanted to pick up the closer object although it wans't in the crosshairs so to speak. Got a reading out to 390 yards on trees without leaves this hunting season, which I thought was pretty good(leaves reflect better and are easier to "shoot" when full of moisture). Overall a good product. As always with Amazon it was a pretty easy purchase.
