Nikon Coolshot Pro II Stabilized vs Bushnell Tour V6 Shift range finders

[Eesh]

I'm trying to decide between the Nikon Coolshot Pro II Stabilized vs Bushnell Tour V6 Shift range finders.

Just wondering if anyone has strong opinions on one or the other.

I came from a Bushnell Tour and have the Coolshot Stabilized currently which I have used for years.  The Nikon is MUCH better in my opinion and it's not even close.

Have a first gen stabilized. Every once in a while mine is over in the cart and I use a buddies Bushnel, once you’re used to a stabilized view it’s tough to go back to that shaky view of the world.

Nikon Nikon Nikon. It will not be removed from my bag until a successor to the Z82 is put out and tested. It’s the best RF out imo.

The stabilize is a game changer.  Would not buy one without it.  So far, I only see Nikon and Tec Tec Tec use this feature.

I have the coolshot pro II and love it.  the image stabilization is fantastic.  Hits the pin no issue.

I got the Bushnell Tour V6 shift last year and love it. Very easy to lock on targets with excellent accuracy. No problems using it in drizzles either. I’m not familiar with the Nikon so can’t make any comparisons. It’s my fourth Bushnell purchased over many years and never had any issues. I sold two of my old lasers to friends and they still have them (and still working).

Which one if any has the "red" display?

The Nikon has the Red display.   
 

I ended up buying the Nikon and I love it!

I just recently bought a cool shot pro 2 and I love it. It’s my second rangefinder, the first being a generic entry level one, and this is miles apart better. The display is super easy to see and bright, but adaptive to light conditions. The stabilized feature was the main reason I got it, it’s so much better than shaky life, just makes everything easier.

Does the Coolshot have a slope feature? Also, what about a magnet feature to attach it to a cart? My XE, sadly, has been acting up and it's basically Coolshot v Tour V6 shift if I have to buy a new one. I used my playing partner's V6 shift last week as my Pro XE was not working, and I thought it was great. And it has a magnetic feature that is perfect if you ride in carts which is all I do here in Singapore--the rules. I love the XE when it's working, but feel Bushnell is a bit suss on QC. This is the 2nd Bushnell product that has malfunctioned outside of warranty but way before its time. Wondering if Nikon is a better quality product?

No magnet but it does have a slope feature.

My Nikon lives in a magnetic strap mount and I slap it on the cart. Every now and then it might turn or wobble but I’ve never had it fall off or get lost. $30 on Amazon should sort you out with a variety of options.
