what rangefinder does everyone use if at all?

I just bought the nikon rifle hunter 550, pretty simple to use and has the actual distance with the incline decline.

I just bought two rangefinders, the first one i bought was a Bushnell Scout 1000 w/ARC, could not get it to range over 671 in a clear cut, and the ARC was not close to what they say it is, I was shooting a 3D course and had a target at 35yds -18 degrees, It was telling me the adjusted yardage was 34yds, so i aimed for 34yrds and the arrow went just over the targets "wolf"  back, so I readjusted for 29yrds and made a good hit, I had a few other targets that were inclined and declined and never could get a correctly adjusted yardage.
So i ended up taking it back and traded it in for the Nikon Monarch 800, have been pleased with it so far, I've only had it for a few days now, so I'm still testing it, it does not have the angle compensator on it, but it is fully waterproof and fog proof, the Bushnell was only weather resistant.

 Leica LRF 1200 Scan. I've had mine for several years and still like them. One of the guys I shoot long range with has a CRF 1200, I like it better then the LRF but not enough to fell the need to upgrade.

Have never owned one, but that is changing this year if I have any say in the matter!!!!!!!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
