I looked at alot of range finders and I decided to buy the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout and I really like it. It is simple to use and very compact.

I have a Nikon and a Bushnell, like the Nikon a little better, more compact and more accuate.

Nikon is more of a name brand and team realtree has their name on it. Bushnell is a namebrand also but Nikon seems to want 50-100buks more for their models. I woulda got the Nikon if it was more around 159-170 though.

I opted for the same you did.. 169bucks and easy to use. Works well!

I've owned Bushnell & Nikon, and the Nikon seems to have much better optics, plus it is smaller in size.

I have a Nikon 440. I like it. Got it for 199$ at Gander.

Had a Bushnell, wasn't crazy about it. Looked at the Nikon cause I have several Nikon scopes, checked out a Leica at the same time, bought the Leica.

I've been having this debate myself and came up with "neither" on my decision. Liked the Nikon's accuracy and optics - didn't like the 8x when trying to hold it on target. The Bushnell was a little bulkier (still nice sized) but thought it was a little slow in getting a readout. I've decided to wait and see what the future brings before buying - but I already have an older model Bushnell, you may not have that option...
