Nikon 500G Rangefinder Reviews

The Nikon Rangefinder gives you the best and most accurate distances because it selects the closest target. That means you can find the distance to the cup, and read distances to obstructions and water hazards. Other rangefinders give you distances to the farthest object, which would include trees beyond the green. The auto scan makes quick work of reading distances to several targets at once.

The price is the major sacrifice. It is slightly more expensive than other models at $240 as of August 2009. But the features are worth the extra money. It is not completely water proof and won't survive being dropped into water.

This laser rangefinder is ideal for amateurs and serious golfers because of the multitarget scan features. It is also made for golf. A solid, midlevel rangefinder that has everything you need and works flawlessly.
