Amazon.com Product Description
Stop guessing at distances while hunting or building with the Nikon ProStaff 550 laser rangefinder. Offering absolute precision in the palm of your hand, the ProStaff 550 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, a continuous measurement mode, 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.

 Just works! April 21, 2009

I bought this for my golf play. It just works as expected. Compared to my friend;s similarly priceed bushnell rangefinder, Nikon 550 detects range faster and higher success rates. And this is even smaller and lighter also. I'm totally pleased the quality and price of this rangefinder.
Great for Golf! December 30, 2009

If you're purchasing this for golf, it's great. However, there's a trick! You have to practice your aim. Don't go out on the course the first time, aim at a few flags from 250 yards and expect to get an accurate reading on the first shot.
You will get better, I almost never miss now. It's much better than GPS because it's more accurate and you can get distances of objects on the course that wouldn't be marked on the GPS - like trees. If you still have trouble aiming, just find a bigger target - Aim at a person on the green.
Great tool, the best option out there and PGA approved!

I usually like Nikon and Zeiss optics. This may not match the $2k lens quality but they're still very clear.
Keep in mind that I'm only using if for a 100-200 yard range. Maybe if I go out West I'd use the 400+ range, but it's more likely I'd borrow the guide's rangefinder or binoculars-with-rangefinder. So, the incline/decline (iD) of the RifleHunter is overkill for me, especially if using slugs on state land and the dropoff would be more dramatic -- I still use the distance and compensate.
The 6x is good for me. An 8x would probably wobble too much (I usually have that problem with 10x binoculars anyhow) and 6x is good for 100-200yd.
I haven't tried submerging it, but I don't want to tempt fate. They did get a little wet from light rain, but no problem.
Very Pleased October 24, 2008

This is the first rangefindern I have owned and used. I does just what I need it to; gives me distances from my tree stand while hunting. There are others on the market that are much more expensive, and although they have more features, I think the Nikon Prostaff 550 is an excellent value.
Good price ,great product October 3, 2009

This range finder works as promised.I took it to the rifle range and checked it on the 100 yd target. It told me when I was 1/2yard short,then I moved back 6ft and it registered 102 yds. Can't wait to use it hunting.
