Ready to get a laser range finder added to the stable.  I want one with slope because I'm just a weekend golfer and about every course around me is super hilly.

I'm a firm believer in buy once, cry once.. but at the same time I'm a fan of value (not cheap).  They all seem to be within $100 of each other, so what would you recommend?  It seems like Bushnell and Leupold are the two main players in this game. (V3S, X, GX-4i2)

Do a quick search and you'll find quite a few recent threads on the same subject.  Your only real decision will be whether you want the slope function or not.  Pros and cons are also discussed in the other threads.

You're right though, most are split between the bushnells and the leupolds.  You won't go wrong with either.

LOVE the Leupold GX-4i2. Strongly recommend that one.

Not a fan of Jolt. Unnecessary.

Agreed.  I like my Leupold but I've also used buddies' Bushnells and they're good as well.

When mine dies and I need a new one I'm just going to go with the one that is on sale (if either of them are).

I have the Leupold GX-1 and love it. But I recommend you check out the Bushnell too and see which viewer works better for you. They are slightly different.

    • Day 80: a bunch of mirror work ole watching Michigan lose. Working on grip and downswing feels. 
    • Day 5 - 2024-10-05 Hit some somewhat soft pitching wedges. The outside and inside, particularly the outside of the left thumb where my right hand goes on it, is still pretty sore. I don't think I'll do more damage, but I'm reluctant to do too much because I don't want to compensate or alter my motion.
    • Day 156 (05 Sep 24) - Played new to me course today, it’s near our beach place and have been wanting to play it for a couple of years now.  It’s a neat Par 70 that plays just over 6k from the tips, played the whites 5,500 +/-.  Tight fairways and severely undulating greens made for some great shot strategy.  Wound up with an even 80 that included two lost ball penalties.  Putter was solid - 28 total.  Wedge play kept the pars happening - 6 of the 9 pars were up and downs.  Not bad for the first time on a new course.
