Try a bushnell if they have one in that price range.
The models of theirs I have seen range accurately.
I use a leica and had a swarvo for awhile but prefer the leica's aiming method/small box.The more expensive finders are like dear bino's better for extended use and reliable.

Here is the one I use. I've been happy with it water proof & rugged.
