Best laser rangefinder

Laser rangefinders do one very useful thing in the blink of an eye: accurately measure long distances outside. They work by bouncing a laser beam off a distant point and calculating how far away it is. This makes them invaluable for shooting and golf and they should improve your performance. They can measure ranges of 800 to 1200 meters, with an accuracy down to a couple of metres.

The best range finders are lightweight and highly portable so you can carry them with you and use them without any difficulty. They need to be rugged enough to use outdoors too. Look for rangefinders that offer some level of magnification as it makes it easier to target the object you want to range. Lens quality is key for giving a clear sight of your target, reduce glare if it’s bright but make the most of failing light at the end of the day. More lens coatings will typically improve the optics of your rangefinder. Here are the ones we recommend.
