It's probably outside your sub 1000 dollar budget, although you might find one on sale or used, but I LOVE my Vortex Fury 10X binos/rangefinder. fast, clear optics, with range at the touch of a button with no fumbling for a second device. You can constantly scan ranges too which I find helpful for training your eye to guess ranges on the fly.
I know there is better glass out there, but I feel like these are hard to beat. Just a few days ago, I spotted a bull elk on a hill about 4 miles away from me with them! (To be fair, I had to get out bigger glass to verify what it was, but the point is the Vortex is clear enough to pick out an animal from terrain at pretty long distances and under less than ideal lighting conditions.)
You can have the rangefinder give you angle compensated range or true range, which is important, I believe.
Pair it with a Badlands silent bino chest harness and glassing/ranging all day is quick and easy.
I personally fell like the extra money is worth it to only have to worry about one optic instead of a pair of binos and a separate range finder.
