Laser recommendations

My aged Bushnell V2 is biting the dust...slowly but surely
There's water marks on the internals, it takes a while tk lock on to target sometimes and now the battery cap is falling apart....
Time for a new one but I'm loathed to tork out the sort of cash Bushnell want for their all singing all dancing newbies...
I just need a distance....to be honest the fewer bells and whistles the better....
I've seen the Shotscope Pro L2 and that seems decent enough, decent reviews all round and a decent price..
Anyone got one?
Any other recommendations bearing in kind I'm a cheapskate...

Buyers guide has them second!! Above so many big names

For £60 you really can't lose

I just picked one up myself (slightly different model)

You get usb rechargeable, a carry case, slope can be turned on and off so it's tournament safe. And it's also magnetic so sticks to carts etc if needed

Worth a look

Ive got the L2.
Does exactly the same job as my previous Bushnell, build quality is not as good.

 

[Beezerk]

I've got the L2 as well, been perfect for the 2 years or so I've had it

I have a Nikon unit. Must be about 8 years old, it is excellent. Battery lasts about a year.

I hear Boblov are good value.

I would avoid any that you need to charge up.

Out of interest how come? I used to have one with a battery which I always carried a spare. The new one has a built in a battery that is rechargeable and replaceable by the sounds. Seems reasonable. Easy usb c charge and says lasts like 70 rounds between charges

70 rounds, that makes a big difference. I imagined (wrongly I now see) that they would need charging far to often like everything else in life.

They seem very low usage ie only on to zap a flag then it's off again

For me even every 10 rounds would be acceptable as it's usb c.

Good to hear. I saw it on a YouTube video (unrelated, just a course review) anyways found one on eBay for £60 (ofc now brand new is £60, always way) however it's in great condition and seems a real bargain for the price

Shotscope is very good , as good as the Bushnell

How do Bushnell justify their price now you have decent brand like shot scope (who are reputable) and the cheap brands.. is it like a Scotty? Just paying for the name?

My mate has one and was claiming today tour pros use for the reason... I just pointed out they prob are given them for free that's why

 

[Backache]

I've got the shot scope which I only use on an occasional basis as I use my watch for most distance measurements but when I do use it, it works very well and quickly.

You’ll never get on the tour if you only use a watch for distance.

As with anything it’s built a bit more solid , is lighter and has a number of more gadgets etc

Actually I use my caddie but didn't want to let on.

Pardon our interruption...

100 quid is a bargin for these. They are 189 on nordica golf who always stock them.

I've had mine for years. Bought it after using a mates. About 4 others ending up buying them too.

Solid quality build. Out performs the bushnell lasers in foggy conditions.

Can't go wrong.

 

[Burnsey]

I have the Bushnell Tour V6 shift and since buying, the likes of Millsey have brought great rangefinders to the market at a fraction of the cost. I can see much competition in the future.

Whichever one I'd buy again would have to have a battery, as opposed to a USB charger.

 

[badgergm]

Nikon cool shot for me. Works perfectly. Can’t understand why anyone would pay for a Bushnell
