Best rangefinder for the money?

I think the leupold that runs about $200 is a great value and is where I'd start. I think sig makes one around that price as well. I've never used the sig, but I have a pair of their rangefinding binos and they are awesome with a very impressive rangefinder.

But what will you be ranging and where? reflective metal in a field with no time constraints is much easier to range than a dark animal in dense foliage with a ticking clock. If the former, you can get away with pretty much anything at those ranges.

I have a cheap one from Walmart that I believe is a Halo brand. They have one listed now that goes to 450 yards for $69. It’s accurate, but mine has black numbers in the viewfinder that are kinda hard to read at times.

I have a vortex one I use for golf and confirming distances at the range when shooting out to 600+ yards. It's meant for golf and has features for that, but works just fine to grab a distance. I paid a little more for the golf features (slope adjustment) and it was like $250

I have a Leica and it’s been great but more than your price range. My son has an Sig that he really likes a lot and got reviews when I got it for him. It was right there if I remember right.

I had a sig Kilo but it quit working so I trashed it and bought a Leica. Like the Lecia better.
