| The Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Tournament Edition is the most popular laser rangefinder on the market for the competitive golfer. It is the most effective at getting accurate and quick readings! With the PinSeeker technology you can effortlessly lock on to the flagstick. It is the largest and heaviest of all Bushnell rangefinders but well worth it for its ease of use. The Tournament Edition is legal for tournament and handicap play. |

| The Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Slope Edition is the most popular laser rangefinder on the market for the casual golfer. It is the most effective laser rangefinder at getting accurate and quick readings! With the PinSeeker technology you can effortlessly lock on to the flagstick. It is the largest and heaviest of all Bushnell PinSeeker rangefinders but well worth it for its ease of use. The Slope Edition is identical to the Tournament Edition except that the Slope comes with PinSeeker with Slope mode which gives you distances adjusted for slope. The Slope Edition is illegal for tournament and handicap play so if you plan on playing in these formats we recommend the Tournament edition. |

- Magnification: 5x
- Max Range: 1,000 yards
Pros
- PinSeeker Technology makes it effortless to measure distances
- Most compact Bushnell rangefinder with dimensions of 4.3 x 2.8 x 1.6 inches
- Lightest Bushnell rangefinder weighing only 6.6 oz
Cons
- One of the more expensive Bushnell Rangefinders

| The Tour V2 is lightweight and compact but less effective at longer distances(200+ yards) compared to the PinSeeker 1500. It is sold for about the same price as the PinSeeker 1500 so I would go with the PinSeeker 1500 if you don't mind the extra size and weight. The only reason I would go with the Tour V2 is if you wanted a compact and lightweight rangefinder that is legal for tournament and handicap play. |

| The Bushnell Medalist is in the middle between the Tour V2 and PinSeeker 1500 in size and weight. Like the Tour V2 it has some trouble getting readings with longer distances and is less user friendly than the PinSeeker 1500. It is the most affordable PinSeeker rangefinder. |
