Bushnell Golf Rangefinder Reviews & Comparisons
The 2018 line up of Bushnell golf rangefinders consist of three models: the Pro X2, Tour V4 Shift, and Tour V4. This is in contrast to an eight rangefinder lineup Bushnell had just a few short years ago; this is likely a result of a recent USGA rule allowing for the use of full featured rangefinders as long as non tournament features can be disabled. Thus eliminating the need for manufactures to basically make a tournament and non tournament version of each of their rangefinders.

Bushnell Pro X2
- Torunament Legal
- Slope and Jolt
- Select Red or Black Display
- .5 Yard Accuracy
- Online Average - $499
The Bushnell Pro X2 is Bushnell's premium golf rangefinder; and includes the all their popular features plus a unique dual color display. A common annoyance with all laser rangefinders is that black displays are often hard to pick up in shadows or as darkness approaches; while red displays can be hard to pick up in really bright conditions. The Pro X2 is the only golf rangefinder we are currently aware from any manufacture that can switch between a red or black display. Also setting it apart for the other models in the Bushnell line is that the Pro X2 is rated as waterproof unlike the other models which are only rated as water resistant. Finally, the Pro X2 has 6x magnification versus the 5x of the other models, and ranges with half yard accuracy compared to one yard accuracy other Bushnell rangefinders.
Bushnell Tour V4 Shift
- 5x Magnification
- Slope and Jolt
- Red LCD Display
- Water Resistant
- Online Average - $399
The Tour V4 Shift, like the Pro X2, is equipped with Bushnell's Jolt and Slope technologies. The Jolt feature will vibrate when flag has been successfully ranged; while the Slope setting, which can be disabled for tournament play, gives the user a range to the flag with the angle of the shot factored in. The Tour V4 Shift comes with a full time red LCD display and comes with a 5x magnification.
Bushnell Tour V4
- 5x magnification
- Jolt
- Red LCD Display
- 2 Year Warranty
- Online Average - $299
The Tour V4 is a more basic version of the above model, with the biggest difference being this rangefinder does not come with Slope angle compensation capabilities; however it does retain the Jolt feature for positive confirmation when the flag has been ranged. The Tour V4 utilizes the red LCD display and 5x magnification like the Tour V4 Shift, and like the other two Bushnell golf rangefinder models is powered by a single CR2 battery and covered by a limited two year warranty.
