Bushnell Tour V3 or Callaway 300?

[Dherbo23299]

Hi guys. Looking for some input on these 2 rangefinders. Just about to purchase one or the other and can't decide.

Done a fair bit of research on both. A friend has the v3 and it performs well and the jolt is a cool feature. But the Callaway specs out very well.

Tour v3- slightly more expensive,has jolt,no scan mode,x5 magnification,smoother finish and powers off after 30secs.

Callaway 300-slightly cheaper,no jolt but scan mode,x6 magnification,looks grippy finish and power off after 5secs.

Maybe the bushnell will use up the battery more quickly than the Callaway?

Does anyone use the scan mode or mostly pins seek mode?

Is the 5x mag sufficient?

Any feedback on either model would be great.

Thanks.

Highly recommended the Tour v3 does a very good and fast job finding pins and the jolt is really great as well

I have a Bushnell V2, and I won a Callaway here (Thanks Golfwrx).

 

The Callaway works great, but sometimes it won't register a number. It behaves like I'm not pulling the trigger. This behavior just started this season. I'm hoping mine is the oddball, because when it does work, it works fantastic. And you're right, it's very "grippy", and waterproof to boot.

 

The V2 is in my garage, if the Callaway continues to act up, I'll put the V2 back into service. The only issue with the Bushnell is battery life, it last long enough, but there is no warning when the battery dies, it just drops over dead. I carry a spare.

The Bushnell all the way. I just works very well with no issues.
