you may not get the angle measurement with the golf one but if it can see a flag at a par 4 it should have no problems seeing a goat/deer/rabbit

That's sort of what I mean. Some are under $100 and if it's fairly accurate to 300 meters that's all I need. And my guess is it would be OK in most hunting situations.

It depends on what you call cheap, I use a Nikon Prostaff 7i around $300- $400 depending on who sells them
I saw these on special for $28 delivered, I have ordered stuff from these people delivery can take up to 4 weeks everything I ordered has arrived, the only whinge I have with them is the time it takes to deliver products with this $1 postage deal.
No Idea on the quality-

I like what the ATN stuff is claimed to be capable of, but I don't like all the bad reviews about their quality - don't waste your money until they get them properly sorted.
