Vortex impact 850 vs Leupold RX 1300i

[Ghanson4]

Looking to get a range finder with angle compensation and can’t find a comparison between these two. Looking to keep the price around $200-$250 if there are other recommendations.

Have you looked at the Athlon Midas 1200? It's only $174.99

If it all possible, I would suggest looking for one with a red display. I almost bought one of those two, but when I tried them in the store next to a Vortex Ranger with a red display, the difference for me was well worth it, despite the higher price

Midway still has the Sig Rangefinders on sale. They include Angle compensation as well as an Applied Ballistics Ultralite calculator. The 1400BDX is on sale for $200, or $187 for an opened package version. To step up to the 1800 bdx puts you above $300, but they do have a blemished 2200bdx marked down to $289. That is just above your $250 high end, but that would get you a normally priced $500 rangefinder if you don't mind the blemished aspect.
