Leupold topped our list last year, and they stay there with their latest release, the GX-1. The smallest laser rangefinder in our test features 6x magnification, panning mode to continuously update target distances, solid ability to pick out flagsticks at long distances, and even a setting to change the cross-hair in the viewfinder. Improvements for this year include new modes to enhance performance in foggy conditions and on courses that use flagsticks with reflective prisms.

Callaway’s top-of-the-line rangefinder is a great device, with rapid distance readings (in 1/2 yard increments no less), an industry best 7x magnification, and good performance in picking out flagsticks at all approach distances. It’s pricey, but worth a good long look.
Retail price: $499.99

From the best-known brand in rangefinders, the Bushnell Tour V2 offers solid performance in a portable package. Its 5x magnification and ability to target flagsticks at a distance trails the leaders, however.

The Opti-Logic can’t quite keep up with the rest of the pack. While it does offer the lowest price of any device tested, the lack of any viewfinder magnification (ouch) or ability to scan across objects left most reviewers looking for more.
