    – Budget Friendly! Solid performer with 4x magnification.

    Do you even have the 2012 rangefinders in here? You didn’t even list the new Bushnell laser rangefinders for 2012. Bushnell Pro 1M and Bushnell Tour Z6.

    Hi Jim,

    The product reviews we provide at GolfRangefinderShop.com are based upon the analysis of user reviews. Since the rangefinders you mention have not been released yet, there are no user reviews to analyze. We will shortly have the specifications for the Bushnell Pro 1M and Tour Z6 and will post our review summaries after there are sufficient reviews to summarize.

    Thanks for your interest.
