What is a good enough range finder

[Harley-D]

I have heard that bushnell are the best but I am on a budget (small), perhaps an early model version of bushnell.? I never go for bells and whistles!

I bought a cheap Ben Sayers one for my holiday bag, absolutely useless it doesn't pick up on the flag at all so avoid that make.

Edit saw Ori's post I got the brand wrong, ignore previous comment about Benross.

May be you're just too far away from the pin after you tee shots

This one normally gets decent reviews, have not tried it myself though.

The Nikon Coolshot is a good option, and it's reasonably priced. I've had two of them over the years, lost my current one twice (once in Scotland) and had it returned to me both times, obviously a match made in heaven.

I wouldn't go for a Ben Sayers one if I was you. I had one of theirs once, it worked for 10 months and then gave up the ghost. I sent it back, got a replacement sent out, and that one didn't work at all either. I got the impression they weren't exactly top notch gear so I spent the store credit on something else instead.

I bought an older Bushnell many years ago (about 7 iirc) from someone who was upgrading. It replaced a cheapo model that died after 18 months. It has worked faultlessly ever since. So if you can get one from a reliable source, this could work.

I had a boblov one that did the job but gave it to a friend as shaking like a pooping dog meant I picked up about 30 targets before the in

Having watched a load of online reviews etc I brought one called the Zoom Focus X. Picked it up from Amazon and has done a great job - Just as good as the leading brands - it maybe looks a tad cheaper in the hand but its been reliable - Think i've charged it once in Two years so can vouch for its staying power

Pretty sure I bought one of those too. Very flaky!

Bought this one from Amazon in 2018 and have no complaints at all. Only had to change the battery once as well.

This excellent in my view

I have an old Bushnell Medallist I bought more than 10 years ago but I recently thought I'd lost it so started doing some research.
I was out off the Decathlon one by some poor reviews - looks like quality is not consistent.
Ended up about to purchase this but then I found my Bushnell in my travel bag!
