The biggest difference between the Leupold GX-2i and its predecessor, the GX-2 is the DNA engine inside that makes it faster and more precise.

Leupold GX-2i User Rating: 4.14 Stars 4.14 out of 5 (7 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

Leupold rangefinders are always strong performers, but the what we love about their slope models are the extra features. We figure if you’re going to break the rules by having slope, you might as well enjoy it! Leupold’s TGR (True Golf Range) uses distance, slope, altitude and temperature to calculate how far a shot will really play. Although we think this is pretty slick technology, it’s not for everyone, as it requires manual input of temperature and altitude.

Our Bushnell Tour V3 Review will give you an in-depth look at all the pros and cons that were consistently mentioned by owners. The results were the best we’ve ever seen in a laser rangefinder, so if you consider yourself a typical user, you would probably do well to end your research right here.

Bushnell Tour V3 Standard User Rating: 4.72 Stars 4.72 out of 5 (895 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

The price is right and the performance is outstanding. The only rangefinders we rank higher are quite a bit more expensive and have features that appeal to golfers who compete in tournaments and golfers who may need a little additional assistance in using or reading the display on a rangefinder.

Although other similarly priced rangefinders have slightly higher magnification, we didn’t come across any users who complained about having trouble picking up the target. In fact the two top mentions in the feedback we reviewed were the accuracy and the ease of acquiring distances. Take a look at our full list below.

Leupold GX-4 (slope) User Rating: 4.48 Stars 4.48 out of 5 (23 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

Leupold put some useful bells and whistles on the GX-4, but if you’re looking for a rangefinder to use in competition, this one is not legal for tournament play. Leupold tried to give golfers the best of both worlds with this rangefinder, by adding a Smart Key Faceplate that could be removed to disengage features that make the GX-4 legal. The USGA did not approve Leupold’s efforts, but hopefully, your golf buddies will let you get by with it.

The Leupold GX-4 measures slope (elevation), as well as the temperature, and estimates how far a shot should actually play. It can even suggest a club based on information you have provided about the distance you hit your clubs. When you’re not competing, these extra features can really assist in helping you learn about your game.

If having the removable Smart Key Faceplate is not important, the Leupold GX-2 has very similar features and is quite a bit less expensive. However, the construction the GX-4 is rugged aluminum and it has a red OLED, which is very easy to read.

Although there are not a huge number of user reviews, here are the pros and cons we noticed showing up in the reviews.

Most Mentioned Pros (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Quality
  • Easy to read – red OLED
  • Club Selector
  • Aluminum construction
  • Slope
  • Protective case
  • Easy to Use
  • Rubberized grip
  • Compact
  • Easy setup
  • Smart Key Faceplate
  • TGR – True Golf Range uses altitude and temperature to estimate the distance that a shot will actually play
  • Solid battery compartment
  • Accuracy
Most Mentioned Cons (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Confusion at first glance – it takes a minute to figure out actual distance versus TGR. After you figure it out, it is no problem.

Leupold Golf Rangefinders with Slope

Below are the Leupold golf rangefinders with slope. We think all Leupold laser rangefinders are solid performers, but what makes the Slope models stand out from other brands are the extra bells and whistles…

A feature called TGR (True Golf Range) uses sophisticated algorithmic software that uses temperature, altitude and yardage to calculate the distance a shot will play. The Club Selector feature uses information about your hitting distances to help you with club selection. Since you’re breaking the rules anyway, why not get the extra features Leupold provides.

All of the rangefinders below provide the slope and as well as accurate yardage to any target you can see. They vary in size and the display. If you want a model with a red OLED, you will have to pay more, but you will also be getting the most sophisticated golf rangefinder available (in our opinion;).

If you’re getting a rangefinder with slope and you are a bit of a golf geek, you really should try a Leupold golf rangefinder. You can learn more about your game and the factors that affect your shots with the extra features.

Our Leupold GX-2 Review looks at the pros and cons mentioned most often by users. The most frequent comment by far was that the GX-2 was easy to use. However, it’s the thing that was mentioned second most often that really gives it an edge…

The Leupold GX-2 not only measures the slope of a hill, but also takes into account the temperature and calculates how far a shot will really play. It also recommends a club based on information you input during setup.
