For economy the Bushnell yardage pro sport is a good value.
For a more compact size and a few more features I like the Nikon 440.

I have the Bushnell Yardage pro 450 and the Nikon 440, the Nikon is more compact and IMO just a tad more accurate.

I have the Bushnell yardage pro sport 450 from Wally-World @ $179.00
This is my first rangefinder so I have no compairison but I like it.
I wanted a Lupold with the height adjustment built in (inclination) but couldn't justify the $319.00 price tag

I use a Nikon 440 and love it. Shoots through the screens on my blind with no problems.

I would not run out and just buy a pair for the purpose of sticking stuff, but if you do other types of hunting as I do and use binos then I recommend you take along your Leica's with the ranging devise built in. I'm not one for taking my eyes off the game once I've started my stock to my shooting position. I found switching between binos and range finder to suck. I'm just to old to believe in anything but KISS.

This is also the one I have and think it's a great little gadget.

I have the Leica rangefinder and it works great. It has 6x mag built in but it is mono. I use it as a monocular as well as the rangefinder and really don't have to go the the binocs much. The big drawback is they ain't cheap.

Leica are great, I also can get away with using mine as binos. They are a tad more pricey though.
If it feels good, DO IT.

I have been using the Yardage Pro Scout for the past 3 seasons and I love it.
