Our Review Summary of the Bushnell 1600 Laser Rangefinder with Pinseeker takes into consideration the reviews by users from several different websites. We observed commonly mentioned pros and cons within user reviews so that we can provide consensus based feedback about the Bushnell Pro 1600 . We also have calculated our GRS Score based based on user ratings from a variety of websites in order to help when making comparisons between golf rangefinders.
Keep in mind that there are two versions of the Bushnell 1600 Rangefinder: the Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament Edition and the Bushnell Pro 1600 Slope Edition.  The only difference between the two is that the Tournament Edition does not include the slope measurement and is legal for use in competitions that have established a local rule allowing distance measuring devices. The slope model measures +/- one degree of angle, and compensated range, based upon ball trajectory and type of club used, but is not legal for use in competition.
