Bushnell Scout 1000

[mul1gan]

is this rebate promo still valid?

Looks like Walmart has this on clearance for 199.99, free shipping to a store. You could use the rebate on this too probably .. might have to pay tax though.

This is down to 180.87 now, and looks like the rebate should work.

 

Anyone use this scout 1000? It seems like the difference from the tour v2 is that it doesn't have the pinseeker mode, is that right? Can it give me multiple distances on one scan?

The Scout and the V2 are the smae thing, they market the V2 as having "pinseeker", the Scout has the same technology but it is called "Bullseye". They just market it differently to the golfers and hunter. It does give multiple yardgaes in one scan, the Bullseye mode picks up the closest reading that you are aiming at. I have found I am good up to about 200-215 yards, after that I am a little hit or miss. I have shot flags at 230-240.

[mul1gan]

200-215? thats it? I need to shoot targets 240-250 (3 wood distance).

 

How will I know if it is worth it or not to go in 2?

[scs1070]

That is the flag. Over 230 or so it's just hard to hold it steady to hit a flag. I have no issues shooting trees, bunkers, fronts of greens, hills over 300 yards.

 

And if it's over 230 and you asking yourself if you need to go for it.....you probably should lay up. :swoon2:

Awesome, thanks so much for the info, i think i may pick this up...

Hilarious.

[philter]

In for one, tax is a bummer but it is still cheaper than Overstock :swoon2:

[Bulldog]

Wal-Mart Internet Store

Back up to $199.96!!!

[mul1gan]

lol

i like to go for it as much as I can... :rolleyes:

 

I got the medalist, and it's not that great. Hoping the V2 would be better but it looks like I should either get the 1500 or just lay up!!!!

[scs1070]

If I had the extra cash I would go with the 1500.

[dairyman53]

I just ordered one on walmart.com. Clearance priced @$180.00. :rolleyes:

[carrotheadman]

Just got the scout....$216from Overstock.com...promo code still works! After the rebate it will only be $166! What a deal. It worked wonderfully on the course last weekend, too. Haven't tried shooting from outside of 200 yards, though, but it has worked excellent for me. Buy this rangefinder!!!

[iamhuey]

any one know where to find the rebate for canadians?

Is the scout 1000 legal for handicapping. Might be a stupid question but just asking.

YES, it is legal for handicapping!!!

I just picked up one from Walmart for $200. I've played two rounds with it and taken it to the driving range. I've ranged flags at 240 yards. Under 200 yards, I've had no trouble hitting the flags very quickly. I've ranged trees out to 550 yards. Distances are displayed in a matter of seconds. I can easily operate the rangefinder with one hand and hit the flags. It is small, fits in the palm of your hand, and lightweight. The only complaint I could have is that case feels cheap and has a plastic clip. When in the cart, I keep it in the case in a cup holder. When walking, I keep it in a pocket in my bag.

 

This rangefinder performs the same function as the Bushnell Tour V2 for $150 less. The differences are only cosmetic and a different brand logo on the side.

 

The Scout 1000 has three functions.

 

1) Scan Mode: You can range any object and it will change distances as you move it around.

 

2) BullsEye Mode: This is the same as pinseeker mode on the Tour V2. It determines the closest object and displays that distance. That's what you need to hit pins.

 

3) Brush Mode: This ignores closer objects and displays distance to the farthest object. This mode is not very useful for golf.

I love this rangefinder. On the first two rounds, I shot my best rounds of the year (2 strokes less on one, 39 for nine holes and a 76, 4-5 strokes less on the other). Before that, I hadn't broke 40 on 9 holes this year or 80 for 18 holes. I can't attribute it all to the rangefinder, but it does give you confidence in knowing exactly the distance to the pin and the distance to get over a bunker. It helps you know which club to hit and whether you should hit it easier or harder. It removes the uncertainty about the distance so you can worry about just hitting the shot. I think using the rangefinder makes my speed of play a little faster. It eliminates the need to walk off any distances. I'm usually ranging my shot as others are hitting so it doesn't slow down play at all. I'm now telling others what their distance is to speed up their play.

 

I've never used any other rangefinders so I can't compare it. Most reviews say the Bushnell 1500 is better (but it's about $400). I have played with someone using a SkyCaddie. The SkyCaddie was very quick, but it only gives distances to the front, back, and middle of the green. You still have to figure out where the flag is on the green. SkyCaddie also gave distances to bunkers, etc. If you can see it, you can range it with the rangefinder. If you can't see it, the SkyCaddie is better.

 

I highly recommend this rangefinder.

For a limited time, you can use this coupon code (116170) at checkout for 10% off. That brings your new total to $216.99. Submit the Bushnell Scout 1000 rebate for another $50 off price. That will make it $166.99.

 

There is no tax on Overstock, plus if you are a yearly paid member (or sign-up) you can save an additional 5% on all purchases. That could possibly make it $153.99 as you would get to also save ALL of that $1 shipping, too. :black eye:

 

Enjoy. I expect to see a "sold out" soon for that great deal.

 

Amazingly the above code still works! I picked one up just a few minutes ago to replace the one that I forgot at Hawk Meadows golf course (thank you to the staff member who decided to keep it). Great deal and with the rebate even better.

I think amazon has it too. Advertised as Scout Laser Rangefinder, but the model number is the same. It did show up as $200, now it's at $210.

How did you get the extra savings coupon on overstock's website?

I don't know where that coupon code came from, but here are a bunch of others for overstock, you can use them with that coupon code too.

A lot of them end soon.

It was for a limited time. They automatically lowered the price on the Rangefinder. There are always coupon codes for overstock. Keep an eye out.

 

Good luck.

code still works!

Just received mine last week. works great. it's the scout 1000. back to $200 no tax and no shipping. $150 /w rebate.

[bluetrane]

Hit the course today for the first time with the scout 1000. I had much more peace of mind before each shot. Great investment. I like using this at the range too. You get much more out of your sessions when you know exactly how far the pins are.

 

Great item!

The Scout works better than the golf specific one (have used both). Scout picks up pins better.
