If I had to choose among the Callaway 300 Pro Slope, Precision Pro NX7 Slope, and Bushnell Tour V4 Shift golf rangefinders, I would choose the Callaway 300 Pro Slope because it has the most features, including a built-in magnet, and it only costs about $200.
I would avoid the Bushnell Tour V4 Shift because it has been discontinued and you can only buy it used from eBay. It has a retro look that looks bad in comparison to the sleek, modern designs of the Callaway 300 Pro and Precision Pro NX7 Slope.
Also both the Callaway 300 Pro and Precision Pro NX7 Slope have better optics than the Bushnell Tour V4 because both the Callaway and Precision Pro have a 6X magnification power while the Bushnell only has a 5X magnification power.
All three rangefinders come with slope compensation and Jolt vibration technology but only the Callaway 300 Pro comes with a built-in magnet and only the Callway 300 Pro and Bushnell rangefinders come with an external slope on/off switch that makes them legal for tournament play.
Also the Callaway 300 Pro has a 300-yard range to flags while the Precision Pro NX7 has a 250 yard range to flags.
The only reason to purchase Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope is that it is the easiest to use of the three rangefinders. For the Bushnell and Callaway rangefinders, you have to hold down the Power button until the rangefinders lock onto your target. In contrast, with the Precision Pro, you don’t have to hold down the power button the entire time. Instead, you press the power button, let it go, and then let the rangefinder lock onto your target.
The Callaway 300 Pro is a better value than the Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope because only the Callaway comes with a built-in magnet and external slope on/off indicator and it also has a longer range to flags.
The Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope has a 250-yard range to flags while the Callaway has a 300 yard range. However, the Precision NX7 Pro Slope is easier to use and it comes with a free lifetime battery replacement service.
Both the Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro can adjust distances for slope, vibrate after flaglock, and are accurate to 1 yard. Also both the Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro have a 6X magnification power, are water resistant, and have 2-year limited warranties.
Listed below is more information about the differences between the Precision NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro:
1. Only the Callaway comes with a built-in magnet and external slope on/off indicator.
2. The Precision NX7 Pro Slope has a maximum range to flags of 250 yards while the Callaway 300 Pro has a longer range of 300 yards.
3. The Precision Pro is easier to use because you don’t have to hold down the Power button the entire time to acquire the distance to the flagstick like you do with the Callaway 300 Pro.
3. Only the Precision NX7 Pro Slope comes with a free lifetime battery replacement service with product registration and trade-in allowance.
Listed below is more information about the similarities between the Precision NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro:
1. Both the Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro come with slope compensation for elevation changes and vibrate after they lock onto the flag.
2. Both the Precision NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro have a magnification power of 6X and are accurate to within +/- 1 yard.
3. Both the Precision NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro are water resistant and come with a 2-year limited warranty.
4. Both the Precision NX7 Pro Slope and Callaway 300 Pro cost about $200.
Final Verdict
Even though the Precision Pro NX7 Pro Slope is easier to use, the Callaway 300 Pro Slope is the better value because it comes with an internal magnet, an external slope on/off indicator, and it has a longer range to flags.
Differences between Bushnell Tour V4 Shift and Callaway 300 Pro – Both the Bushnell Tour V4 and Callaway 300 Pro feature slope adjustment, Jolt vibration technology to signify flaglock, and an external slope on/off switch but the Bushnell V4 is more accurate than the Callaway for longer distances.
