What sort of cheap rangefinder would you recomend

i started with a 200 dollar nikko stirling. ranged good to 5-600m. i now use a 800m leupold range finder which works better in the bad weather. i work on the theory if i cant range it i cant shoot it and try and get closer.

I have some budget unbranded one, I've ranged trees out to 800+ with it and it has measured fairly consistently with other rangefinders. But the optics are like looking through a muddy pond, so at times you can hardly tell what you're pointing it at. At some stage I'll upgrade to something nicer but its better than nothing.
