I can't recall the exact model sorry but just as a general vote of confidence in Bushnell, a mate of mine has one of the higher end 1,000 yard ones and it delivers what it promises. Was about $450 - $500 off ebay I think.
It states 1,000 yards on reflective surfaces (hence the 1,000 name for marketing like AusC said
), furthest I've used it out to was actually about 880m but worked find at that distance on a radio tower with reflective panelling. Fast and consistent acquisition so no reason to think it would work a little further than that.
"tree ranging" is what they call the all purpose ranging I think, the limit on that is 600m. Haven't tested it past 500m but again worked perfectly at this distance which is approaching the limit.
Dunno if your budget allows that much but as I said, just a general thumbs up here for their rangefinders doing what they say they will.
