Expect most rangefinders to work on game at about half the stated maximum distance. In other words, a rangefinder rated at 800 yards will work on a deer/elk, etc to about 400. An 800 yard rangefinder will range steel buildings at 800 yards, but not game.
Many people make them now- and I suspect several brands come from the same factory, and only the brand name is different.
If you can afford it, the Leica is really excellent.
