Unless you're hunting in steep terrian ARC is a waste of time. I have a Nikon Monarch 800 and a Leica CRF 1200. The Leica asbolutely crushes the Nikon in every way. The Leicas glass is incredible @ 7x and itscompact.The red LED readout is a must for rifle hunting during that last half hour. Therea bit pricey, but worth the money IMO. Cabelas has em online for 599.00. If you dont like it send it back, but you compare it to any other make and you wont be disappointed.
