I got a Bushnell Scout last year and love it. It's about $299 ($100 more than the sport) and has the scan mode you stated you wanted. It'll reach out to about 700 yards or so. (Who needs more than 700 yards for hunting?) I like how it fits nicely in one hand. I use it primarily for bowhunting, range a perimeter of trees then put it away. That tree is 30 yards, that tree is 25, etc. I had some fogging of the lens problems during a particularily foul week of weather but beyond that no issues.
