Snooper S400 laser range finder

[Marko77]

I've had a wee search and could not see any obvious mention of the above before but I was wondering if anyone on here has seen or indeed used this?

I've been saving for a Bushnell and have had a loan of that and know what I'd be getting with that but speaking to my pro shop last weekend they say they are unlikely to get more of them in unless they have a minimum order which they appear unwilling to commit to.

They have mentioned this Snooper as a possible alternative which on the face of it looks to be very similar and is almost £100 cheaper.

One online review I've seen indicates it's quality is not of the Bushnell/Nikon and its buttons can be a fiddle and to me that would indicate why it's cheaper but I would value the thoughts of anyone who's actually used this.



Edit - thought I should add is reason I'm tied to the Pro is that its the sweep/comp winnings that are paying for this so I'm tied to them. Ideally I'd just get them to purchase it off the net for me.

Don't know about their laser range finder but have been using their GPS for 3 years with good results and no problems.

Can't speak for the snooper but I do have the Hillman TM-800 range finder and it retails at £100. It's great, works perfectly well (check the reviews section for detailed info) and definitely shows that a cheap range finder can be every bit as good. OK the casing isn't as nice as the bushnell etc but hey for £150 less I ain't complaining.

Cheers, hadn't heard of that one - will look into that.
