I picked this up used from a pawn shop for 40 dollars, so I got a heck of a deal. Ive used this to measure buildings past 300 yards. I hear alot of complaints about it not be good for golf and I would have to agree with that. If you plan on sighting in your rifle or pistol, this is a good deal for 150 dollars new,but once again this will not be good to hit flags on a golf course.
