Nikon Coolshot is best for the money. Batteries last forever.

Bushnell only. We were given one for college golf. Upgraded once it went dead after 6 years. Huge Leopold fan for rifles but the golf rangefinder is a bit pricier than Bushnell

I don’t know the name but I spent $120 and I’ve had it for two years with no issues. I wouldn’t overspend on a rangefinder.

[quote]I got the Bushnell Tour V4 Patriot Pack off of ebay for $250 with shipping, like it so far[\quote]

Same. It has been good. There are deals to be had on EBay for them. I got the slope edition, but I have found the slope portion to be worthless for 99.9% of all holes I play in LA, FL, TX and MS (usually only a 1-2 yard difference when slope is factored in and I am simply not that precise). The only places I have found it to be useful are courses in the Birmingham area or mountain courses in NC. If you don't play those or something similar, I'd recommend you just stick with the regular version.
