Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. The cheap ones never range far enough, and are quite cheap. For a budget priced rangefinder that will not disappoint you, look at the bushell elite or something in the newcon line. Just my opinion, I'm sure you will get others.

check out www.bearbasin.com they have pretty good prices for everything optic related.
I don't own a range finder and only know a few people that have them.
Like what others have said you get what you pay for.

Do what I do, find a range that has firing points from
25 - 600 metres and practice, practice, practice.
Save the money for ammo.
