Since you posted in the archery section I am guessing that you are going to use this for bowhunting.

Have a look at this:

http://www.vortexoptics.com/category...er_rangefinder

Website says $279, pretty sure that is CDN as well since I have seen it for sale for $280.

I have the vortex ranger 1000 (first one they came out with) and I love it.
Nice features, display, and easy to use.

i have the same one and I like it quite a bit i haven't had any problems yet. i like how the LED read out is bright orange and really easy to see even if your ranging towards the sun although the lens does flare up pretty bad but i would imagine even the more expensive models do but I've never tried them so i cant say for sure. i had a Bushnell before this and i hated it i couldn't range dark targets (bear&moose) and it ate batteries for breakfast i wont buy a Bushnell again. and who doesn't love that vortex warranty.

Buy a used Leica. New and inexpensive = cheap, that’s not what you need in a rangefinder. I’ve been using a Leica lrf800 for about ten years but when I bought it I didn’t pay more then $300 for it.

I like my Nikon prostaff 3i. It’s got angle compensation, will give you your furthest reading if ranging through grass or Bush. It will range far enough for bowhunting easy. I saw it on sale at cabelas last month for around $250
