I have the nikon prostaff 440. It will range through mesh windows in a blind and brush, is accurate to 400 yards, fits in a pocket and is more compact than bushnells, and picks up a lot of light. I bought it for around $200 on ebay and I love it.

I bought an optical rangefinder for $40 at walmart. Ranges 10-75yds with pretty good accuracy. When I get in the stand, I measure out the shooting lanes then sit back and wait for the deer to come through. Probably won't use it as much now that I have a pendulum site.

I use the Leica 1200. Very accurate and can be used like a monocular as well. I once in a lifetime type of buy.

Nikon 400. Love it. It helps my confidence and practice at yardage estimation.
