Just like the title says looking for range finder recommendations. Will primarily be using for distances under 100 yards but would like the ability to range out to 500-600 yards. Wanting to spend $200-$300. Thanks for any input!

Range finder recommendation??

I would recommend the Vortex 1000. I took mine to Colorado this year elk hunting and was ranging individual elk out to 900 yds. I know they are much larger than deer but I couldn't have been more impressed at how well it functioned. Best one I've ever owned. Also really liked the red yardage display. Much easier to read in low light conditions. The Vortex vendor on here may be able to get you a deal on one.

I got a bushnell for like $150. It does well for bow hunting. It accounts for the angle, which is cool.
I tried using it on my elk hunt and it picked up almost everything I tried to range (out to 600ish yards) while in an elevated position (up on a ridge looking down).
But on a flat prairie, I tried ranging a water tank and couldn’t get a reading. Maybe it doesn’t pick up metal that well? It was a little frustrating.
I’d recommend getting a used Leica if you can afford it.
Totally worth it. They even range distance through glass, which I found cool.
Good luck.
