For just $319.99, one of Bushnell’s newest rangefinders, the Nitro 1 Mile 6X20 will range out to a mile on reflective targets, 1,200 yards on trees and 800 yards on game.

The 6X magnification rangefinder comes with the company’s rainguard coating and Bushnell’s EXO Barrier protection to prevent scratches and repel water, oil, dust and other vision-distorting lens irritants.

Switch between Angle Range Compensation (ARC) mode, available for both bows and rifles, to provide a true distance to target while compensating for angle; Scan Mode, to receive a continuously updated range as you scan across the landscape; Brush Mode, which provides ranges for background targets while ignoring those in the foreground; and Bullseye Mode to acquire distances of small targets without inadvertently measuring background target distances.

A fairly compact unit, the Nitro 1 Mile 6X20 weighs just 5.5 ounces and measures less than 3 inches tall.
