Sit down before you look at the price though.

Yeah mate, how about that price?
They're probably used to charging the US military that sort of money.
Remember the reports of suppliers overcharging the Pentagon for ridiculous things like $1000 toilet seats and such? Its still going on but they're starting to crack down apparently.

I'm shooting for commercial sale and therefore shoulder shots are not acceptable. It is probably better to miss over the top at mid range than have a low shot further out.
100 metre zero would help for short to mid range but then I would have to judge aiming high at longer distance.
At a guess I'm shooting out to about 200 metres. The old Landcruiser odometer is not particularly accurate for small distances and is probably only give or take 50 metres.
22-250 and 243 are obviously flatter, but they are quite a bit more expensive to run with reload components and barrel life. They are also louder which scares the roos more.
I'm trying the judging half the distance trick, haven't quite got it yet but I'll keep persevering.
Even if I did have a rangefinder, there would not often be time to use it. I already use the fenceposts spacing a bit sometimes, but that's only really useful if you know the spacing - Four spaces..... 40 metres each..... 160 metres..... Hang on, maybe they were at 50 metres on this fence..... 200 metres..... Or were they 35..... 140 metres..... 200 metres or 140 metres..... Hang on, the roo has gone now so it doesn't matter.....

I don't quite get how that would work. If it's pointed at the same angle as your barrel, well, then it'll be looking at the sky on long shots. If it's angled lower than the barrel, then presumably the angle would still need to adjust with the range. Am I missing something?

Vortex 1000 Rangefinder, it's nice and compact and light and does a good job for my needs, helps make those long range shots on bunnies heads that much easier to achieve. From memory it cost me $350 2nd hand but new condition.
