How Durable Is It?īushnell usually makes its products to last, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Tour V4. You should still get a good, clear image during the day, and the device focuses sharply with amazing speed. The optics and focus are pretty good, aside from the use of multicoated optics instead of fully multicoating them. How Are the Optics and Focus on This Rangefinder? During the day, it’s spot on and can give you plenty of contrast and a vivid image all day long, it’s just no good in the dark. The readout is a black LCD, and the device itself simply doesn’t gather light very well. This isn’t the rangefinder for you if you do a lot of twilight or dawn hunting. What’s the Light Gathering Capability Like on the Bushnell Tour V4? I wish it had a scan mode, but such is life. Of course, this can affect your ability to hold it steady, so you might not like it so much if you don’t have steady hands to begin with. With JOLT mode, the rangefinder vibrates in your hand to let you know that it’s locked onto a target. However, it does have an interesting feature: JOLT. This model is pretty barebones, with just a single targeting mode. Power management isn’t the greatest, as the device remains powered for ten seconds after use rather than the usual three seconds. These can be difficult to find in rural areas where hunting lands are usually found, so be sure to carry a spare with you. This rangefinder, like most of its kin, is powered by a 3-volt CR2 lithium battery. You can enjoy diopter adjustment of +/- 3 diopters, and the rangefinder’s eye relief is a very comfortable 21mm. The objective lens is 24mm, and the device’s field of view is a generous 367 feet from 1,000 yards. Unfortunately, Bushnell has opted to just use multicoated optics, which reduces the light gather capability somewhat.
If you have unsteady hands, though, this model might challenge you. There aren’t many modes to choose from, other than selecting between yards and meters, so this is a fairly barebones rangefinder as far as operation goes.
If you have steady hands, this rangefinder is simple to use with just one-button operation. Magnification on this model is 5X, which is a bit below average. Furthermore, the device is sometimes inconsistent in its range readings, requiring multiple tries to be sure of the distance to target.
TOUR V4 RANGE FINDER PLUS
Accuracy is a bit sub-par, however, a whopping plus or minus one yard. For smaller targets like deer, you can expect to get an accurate reading from around 200 yards. Bear in mind, this is for large, highly reflective targets.
The advertised range of this rangefinder is from five to 1,000 yards, which might be a bit on the short side for some rifle shooters.

Let’s see how well it fares versus the competition.
Bushnell makes some great products, as well as some serious misses, so I was eager to check this older model out. Welcome, and thanks for stopping by my review of the Bushnell Tour V4 laser rangefinder.
