in the affordable range there are a few options. the swaro is pretty nice. the zeiss i have had pretty good luck with. very light, ranges out to 1000 reliably, past that i have ranged out to 1500 it just gets tricky with smallish objects. the bushnell binos are good, you can range to far distances, but the glass is meh. not all that clear. the zeiss compared to the bushnell in clarity isn't even close, its way better. the binos are also heavy and have a wide beam so there is some variance in its ranging. so while you will get a range, it may not be THAT accurate. this also makes it tough to range small objects at farther distances. for my shooting purposes, the bushnell and zeiss have been fine because i only shoot a little past 1000 and i just want a fairly accurate measurement, it doesn't need to be precise. more higher end competition and stuff just wait and get the terrapin. its a tough pill to swallow but if you want to be THAT accurate and at THAT type of range, its your only option.

Holy shizznits... and this one I linked on here is the cheapest one
I guess pushing my "I want" level to "1500 yards at the least" is a little over board for my budget.
