Laser Rangefinder Cost

Laser rangefinders tested range in retail cost from approximately $300 to nearly $700 (whoa!). The retail prices are set out below divided between laser rangefinders that are USGA-complaint and do not provide slope compensated distances (Table 1) and rangefinders that provide slope compensated distances (Table 2).

Price doesn’t always correspond to value, so we subjectively evaluate the value for each device – are you getting your money’s worth?
