Optics Planet usually has some good deals on range finders.  I picked up a Bushnell last year and I can honestly say I don't know how I lived without one for so long.  It was invaluable to me during the bow season and is of great use in my airgun shooting and hunting..

Here's two to think about:

I have not used one of these but the price is stupid cheap:

I did buy this one on ebay and have been extremely happy with it.  It is clear and accurately gives repeatable measurements.  It is in yards and meters so that is great.  It says 450 yards on my instruction sheet but I've ranged things out past 600 yards.  Not sure if this is the exact model I have but it is ulikely you need to range your scope out past 200 yards anyway.

I picked one of these up on ebay for $90.00 shipped. I love mine. Fits in my front pocket while hunting and very good. I know mine is off by three yards so I always subtract 3 from everything. Takes the guess work out of drop compensation.

Ya, Ebay is a good place to look around.

I got one at auction last night that goes typically from $155 to $199 for $87 shipped to me.

It is a SIGHTMARK LASER RANGE FINDER SM650

Thanks guys!  I'm going to bid on one of the inexpensive ones for my air gun hunting.  For TN 200 yards is about max you can see!  The bigger issue here is hitting a branch or something along the way.  I'm trying to get a budget for my summer hunting in KS, new 22-250, new scope, mounts, nicer range finder, predator calls......Now to sell that to my wifey! :D
