Get a Leica...have used the Leupold and it is a POS and complicated to run.  As far as angles is concerned just hold low.

lamar_hunter you dont need a range finder, a true whitehunter doesnt use one.

I have the Cabelas CLR 800 by Bushnell and its great. I think both are decent. Go to the store and try them out and make your own decision :dunno:

I bought a bushnell yardage pro scout with arc. It is easy to use, some what affordable and it compensates for the angle you are shooting from. It works for what I wanted in a rangefinder.

I would second the Bushnell Yardage Pro due to its ease of use and small size.  I have had one for years and I love it.
