    Suggest the following:

    Scope ($300 - $400)
    Wait and hunt for a second hand one among the likes of Leupold VX2, Bushnell Elite 4200, Weaver Grand Slam. Magnification 3-12x is a good range. I prefer simple capped adjustments in the bush for durability. Adjustable parallax is nice in the open when you have time to set up and adjust, but adds too much complexity in the bush in my opinion.

    Binoculars ($300 - $400)
    Vortex Diamondback 8x42 is perhaps your best bet at this price point. Broncos in Tauranga has the cheapest deal.

    Range finder ($300)
    Something like the Nikon Prostaff 7i should be adequate. I got mine from the US for about $280 NZD landed. An Import Permit shouldn't be required as a range finder is not considered to be "part of a firearm".

    This way $1000 will cover all the gear you need without making much compromise on performance.
