The Quick Verdict
Get the Voice Caddie Laser Fit. It's $100 cheaper, includes slope, weighs half as much, and charges over USB-C. The Bushnell Tour V6 is the one to pick if you play competitive golf where slope devices are banned and you want the most trusted name in tournament-legal rangefinders — but for everyone else, the Laser Fit wins on value.

What They Have in Common
Both rangefinders hit 6x magnification and claim ±1 yard accuracy. They're designed for the same job: get you a fast, reliable yardage to the pin so you can actually commit to a shot. Neither is a GPS hybrid or a multi-function device. Beyond that, these two go in pretty different directions.
Where They Differ
Slope — the obvious one
The Tour V6 doesn't have slope. Full stop. That's a deliberate choice by Bushnell — it's built to be tournament-legal out of the box, no toggle required, no confusion at the first tee. For competitive amateurs playing USGA events, that simplicity matters. You're not going to accidentally hand a slope-enabled device to the rules official.
The Laser Fit has slope and a physical slope switch to disable it. That's the standard workaround, and it works fine — though honestly, you'll toggle it off for tournaments and then forget it's off for the next three Saturday rounds. The Laser Fit's slope uses what Voice Caddie calls a "V-Algorithm," which is their term for the adjusted yardage calculation. It does what slope does.
Size and weight
This is where the Laser Fit does something genuinely unusual. At 4 oz and 3.39 inches tall, it's about half the weight of the Tour V6 (8.7 oz) and noticeably smaller in every dimension. It fits in a shorts pocket without the rectangular bulge that makes you look like you're carrying a walkie-talkie. If you walk and carry, the weight difference over 18 holes is real — not life-changing, but real.
The Tour V6 is a normal-sized rangefinder. It's not heavy by any category standard, but it's a conventional form factor.
Battery and charging
The Tour V6 runs on a CR2 lithium battery. CR2s are at every pharmacy in the country, which has actual practical value: if you're mid-round and the battery dies, you can solve that problem in ten minutes before your afternoon tee time. No cables required.
The Laser Fit charges via USB-C with a claimed 8-hour, 40-plus round battery life. If you're the kind of person who charges devices regularly, that's a non-issue. If you're the kind of person who notices their rangefinder is dead in the parking lot, CR2 is more forgiving. That's not an argument against the Laser Fit — USB-C is genuinely better in every other way — it's just a different failure mode.
Display and optics
The Tour V6 uses a standard LCD display with Bushnell's PinSeeker with Visual Jolt — the vibration confirms you've locked onto the flag rather than trees behind it. It's a proven system that golfers have trusted for years.
The Laser Fit uses a dual-color LED display (red and black) and its own Pin Tracer system for flag acquisition. Voice Caddie also lists "ball-to-pin triangulation" and "spot measure" as features, which adds some flexibility for measuring layup yardages or intermediate distances. The 0.1-second read speed is listed as a feature — I'd take that claim with a grain of salt since most modern rangefinders feel comparably fast in normal use, but it's there.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the Bushnell Tour V6 if:
- You play competitive amateur golf — club championships, handicap events, USGA qualifiers — and want a device you never have to think about disabling.
- You've used Bushnell before and trust the PinSeeker system implicitly.
- You'd rather carry a spare CR2 than remember to charge something.
- You're the 8-handicap who plays three tournaments a year and wants zero equipment drama on the first tee.
Get the Voice Caddie Laser Fit if:
- You walk and carry your bag and the idea of shaving four ounces off your kit actually appeals to you.
- You want slope for casual rounds and don't mind flipping a switch for the rare tournament.
- You're upgrading from a basic rangefinder and $100 is a meaningful difference — the Laser Fit gives you more features for less money.
- You're a once-a-week player who tees off Saturday mornings and just wants yardages, slope, and a device that fits in a pocket.
The Bottom Line
The Tour V6 is a reliable, tournament-legal rangefinder from a brand that owns this category. But at $299.99 with no slope, it's asking you to pay more for less — unless tournament play is a regular part of your golf life. The Laser Fit costs $100 less, adds slope, cuts the weight in half, and charges with a cable you already own. That's a hard value argument to beat.
