Could be a lot better - Vortex Razor HD 4000 7x25mm Laser Rangefinder

What they don't tell you about this rangefinder is that the angular spread of the laser is fairly large, making it difficult to reliably measure small targets. Vortex doesn't provide a spec for the reticle size but I would guess it's around 30 MOA. If that's not enough of a problem, sometimes the rangefinder returns readings on objects outside of the reticle. (In my testing objects below the reticle seemed most likely to interfere.) Past a few hundred yards it is difficult to quickly get a consistent reading on a deer-sized target, especially if it's moving and there are intermediate obstacles. This instrument offers several filtering modes but none of them are all that consistent and none of them entirely compensate for the large beam divergence in this rangefinder. Ultimately, at the ranges where this unit works well you probably don't even need a rangefinder.

Another significant gripe is that the lowest brightness setting is still so bright that it washes out the view in dark conditions.

The housing is solid, the optics are very clear, and it does a good job at ranging buildings from hundreds of yards away with a completely clear line of sight, but nothing about it is enough to compensate for the problems it has with quickly and consistently getting ranges to typical target-sized objects in real world conditions where foreground and background clutter are both present.
