I own a Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 and it works great you can find em on line or at almost any sporting goods store.

Bushnell Yardage Pro's are the best just spend a little extra money and get one of them that has a backlit display... otherwise at night you can't read jack squat. I think the backlit display starts at model 600, at least that's what it was a few years ago.

I'm using a Leupold RX-I

it was USD$250 and seems to work pretty well I have lasered heaps of targets we know the height of and it has been correct.

Re: [base570] range finders
yeah the non backlit ones are ok you just have to point it at a light or the clouds lit up by the city or something after you laser stuff. its a little trouble, but certainly doesn't make it useless.
