I'd say just about anything out there that's rated for at least 1k would do you fine. I'd look at stuff that's rated to 2k to help you get to your 800 mark reliably on non-reflective targets. I went with the Leica 2800.COM.

Any suggestions on range finding Binoculars
Leica Geovid Pro !! Happy with mine.
If I was buying binos I'd be reaching for the Leica Geovid 3200.COMs or the new Pros. It seems lots of people have had good luck with the Vortex Fury at a lower price point. Personally, I'd stick with the big three though, Swarovski, Zeiss, and Leica.
I just got a Sig Kilo5k ($500-600) that is fantastic and does on board ballistic solving out to 800 yards. Also works with your phone and Sigs AppliedBallistics software. This is just a RF and not Binos type.

Zeiss RF binos. Soft targets to 2500 yards!

I have a pair of Leica Geovid R 10x binos. Work well and I find the glass a bit better than my 10x Swaros, but… They are heavy and I for one just don't like having "all my eggs in one basket". More to go wrong (not that it will in a Leica). Not as versatile as separate ones reducing flexibility. I mainly use them spotting for prairie dogs and they do work well for that.
I now mostly use an older Leica rangefinder and compact 10x binos.
All this said, you must realize I am on my 75th year and not as stubbornly strong and into pain as I use to be. LOL!
Best of luck determining just what works best for you! There are just so many options these days.
I think the advise of a 2k rangefinder is a good idea. I have the Leica 2400r it works very well. If you don't need the built in ballistics it would say the 2400r is what I would recommend if you want ballistics either the 2800.com or I think it's the 3500.com. The revic range finders are nice too. If you don't have a budget and can spend more I would jump up to the geovid pros range finding Binos.

I got the vortex razor 4000 last year and have been really happy with it. I ranged something at 2400 yards and it worked well, but that's the furthest I've tried it.
I have a buddy that has one of those and he likes it a lot. He's ranger stuff close to 4K, like mountain sides and stuff. I still would rather have my Leica with ballistic capabilities though.
