    For archery or rifle or both?

    A vintage analog rangefinder starts at about $10. It is great for learning to judge archery distances, and would work on a hunt in certain situations (stand hunting).

    Vortex has a new budget rangefinder out, called the Impact 850. I don't know if anybody is stocking them yet, but they should go for 200-250

    The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.

    I got a spare one I don't used anymore. Highly recommend you get something like my Leupold RX-1200i
    It's worth saving for it, you put your load data in there and it will give you the true ballistic range. It's pretty good tool to have if you've ever considered longer shots ...or you'd get yourself in the position where you would consider it.

    My Halo's (spare) pretty much brand new. 24 pack of Stellas and it's yours.

    I'd suggest heading out to a shop and trying as many different types as you can get your hands on. A bunch of people here like the Vortex, I found them to be the slowest in returning distances, but the optics were better than any Leupold that I held. I ended up finding a wicked price on the Bushnell G-Force DX, which while not the newest tech more than meets my needs. If you haven't looked at the Sig rangefinders, I'd highly recommend seeking those out - the fastest rf that I found (across their entire line), but I prefer a red display and opted for the Bushnell.
