Arguably the best civilian rangefinder is the Swarovski Laser Guide 8x30. Go to www.samplelist.com for good demo unit pricing (no affiliation). It's $700 or so, but all the precision rifle people I hang with (and maybe could be considered one now) feel it's the best right now.
It locks up duller targets further away than the Leica with more reliability, and since the Leica is a world class rangefinder that's saying a lot.
On the other hand, if you can afford it, the Vector laser is the best hands down. Heavy. 10km range. Eyesafe = maybe.
