I have a Nikon 440 Dutch and love it for Archery. I have never heard of the Brunton. How much is it?

personally I have found that when it comes to optics, you do get what you pay for. I have a bushnel that my wife bought me 2 years ago for an early Xmas present. She paid $300 for it, & I am more than happy with it for bow hunting.

I have tried them in the field and seem to be pretty good. my friends have rangefinders and we compared a bushnell sport 450 and a nikon model, plus this burton and they all ranged the same ranges.
