Can this budget laser rangefinder compete with the biggest names in the game? Review

Mileseey have built a reputation on creating efficiently-priced laser rangefinders, but does it compete with the big names beyond just being good value for money?

In 2025, price matters. It’s true across every facet of life, but when it comes to golf, where we know (or at least think we know) that luxury has to come at a price, a product that genuinely achieves high quality without making you gasp at the cost can be something of a unicorn. Step in, the Mileseey PF260 Tour.

If you’re not familiar with Mileseey as a brand, you’ll often find them featured in our best golf laser rangefinders guides as one of the most solid value-for-money manufacturers on the market. This may be doing them a slight disservice, as they do make some impressive, higher-tech products, but there’s an unpretentiousness to them that I find myself attracted to with the company.

That being said, performance still needs to be reliable, and we made sure to take the Mileseey PF260 Tour through its paces to see if this model lives up to Mileseey’s standards.

Looks and Design – 4/5

Let’s start with the easiest aspect, the styling. While there’s certainly a point in stating that your preferences will vary from mine, the Mileseey PF260 is an inoffensive laser when it comes to appeal.

The black and chrome design is simple and clean without anything to distract, but all the features and access points are clear and obvious to anybody who picks it up.

Okay, there aren’t a million features that it needs to account for, but the key aspects have been applied in a largely intuitive way that won’t require any dives into the included instruction manual.

The side-mounted slider responsible for activating/removing Slope Mode, with its bright green indicator, is convenient, as well as making it obvious to any playing partners in competition; the casing is comfortable in the hands, with a lower half texturing that helps in grasping the PF260 Tour if you have less finger strength, whether from cold conditions or personal health; and the eyepiece is easy to look through without requiring a precise alignment between lens and eye.

The only thing I’m not so keen on is the carry case it comes in.

It’s clearly modeled after the iconic Bushnell orange casing (you can barely tell the difference from a distance), and it somewhat lets the product down. It’s a nice case, but I feel like Mileseey have enough respect in the game to warrant showing off their own brand, with unique color and design for themselves over copying someone else.

Technology – 4/5

I’m not going to linger too long in the tech section for the Mileseey PF260 Tour as there’s not actually too much on offer to go in-depth on beyond the basic functionality you’d expect from a modern rangefinder.

The PF260 houses a 6x magnification lens that covers distances up to 1,100 yards for measuring. While this is not entirely necessary for golf, it does mean that if you’re a general outdoorsman, you can take the Mileseey with you beyond your time on the course. For hunting flags instead of ducks, though, Flag-Lock technology gives you 350 yards of vibration-assisted feedback to let you know you’ve caught the pin instead of the trees behind it.

A magnetic mount is included for attaching to a cart instead of always needing it to hang from your bag, but the real selling point here is the Dual Power capability of the laser.

Mileseey have included the choice to use either a replaceable battery to power the device, or a port for convenient USB charging if you’d rather have a plug-and-play option instead of needing to be wary of having your rangefinder die halfway through a round.

Performance – 4/5

On-course, I’ve been generally happy with the performance of the PF260 Tour. I’ve touched on the simplicity throughout this review, and it’s exactly the same when it comes to actually using the laser while playing.

I’ve used this in a few casual rounds as well as during competitive play, and it’s been fast and receptive to pick up on my targets, flagstick or otherwise, throughout my time messing around with the model.

Visuals are easy to read inside the display, and there’s been no fogging or performance difficulties in any weather condition I tested in. Comparing the Mileseey alongside my regular Bushnell Tour Hybrid, there’s no discernible difference in accuracy, so you aren’t losing out when it comes to precision, although I did find the Bushnell was quicker to pick up my target, but not by a large margin.

Where I have had an issue is with the Flag-Lock vibration. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does, it has been a frustration. In two of my rounds, I’ve found that I wasn’t getting feedback on half my targets despite being comfortably within the 350-yard maximum yardage.

Considering there isn’t much beyond this and the Slope functionality in the model, it was slightly disappointing to deal with while out on the course. That being said, I’ve also given the PF260 to my father, who plays far more often than I do, and he’s had zero issues with vibration, so it may just be my bad luck!

Overall – 4/5

I’m a big fan of the Mileseey PF260 Tour laser rangefinder. Is it going to replace my regular model? No, not this time, but it also doesn’t offer the same features, so it’s not a fair comparison.

Where I would choose to pick up the PF260 is if I were looking to save some cash over the biggest name brands’ models or make a first dive into the golf laser market, and not 100% sure on the level of functionality I would need, as it represents a very solid offering without the spend to match.

Ultimately, the biggest question to ask yourself is: how much do I really need aspects of the higher-cost options? The choice should be obvious from there.
