Leupold Pincaddie 2 Review
The Leupold Pincaddie 2 rangefinder is a compact, lightweight unit that’s hot off the grill in a sporty, red finish. It’s tournament legal with 6X magnification, multi-coated optics, and it has Leupold’s exclusive PinHunter2 Laser Technology that is everything you need for your golf game.
This is an appropriate entry-level rangefinder for the first time user. Although it’s got a good rating, it’s still very new to the market and there are still yet reviewers to post their vote.
The original Pincaddie was a hit with plenty of people singing its praises. With the newer version upgraded to be better, it’s only a matter of time for its worth to be made evident in the Leupold Pincaddie 2 reviews.

Leupold Pincaddie 2 Rangefinder Q&A:
The Pincaddie 2 is the most affordable Leupold golf rangefinder there is, and is sold for about $200 online. This is refreshing since Leupold tends to weigh heavily on the more expensive end of the price scale.
The original Pincaddie rangefinder was extremely limited when it came to being weatherproof, only offering rain-resistant qualities. The new rangefinder is a notch above, and comes fully waterproof.
True to its word, the Leupold range finder does offer all the standard features you’d expect from an entry-level rangefinder. You have the 6X magnification, compact and lightweight design, meters or yards measuring system, and it has a long lasting battery life of about 5000 readings.
The fact that it’s fully waterproof is actually a step up from entry level, but the lack of yard range puts it back into the entry-level division once again. Entry-level isn’t a bad thing if you want a no-fuss, basic rangefinder for the course.
Unlike Leupold’s other golf rangefinders that can range out to 800 yards, the Pincaddie 2 only goes so far as 650 yards to reflective targets and 300 yards to the flag.
On a typical course, that’s not bad. Magnification and the quality of the optics can make up for the lack of ranging distance.
The Pincaddie 2 has the same LCD/black display as its predecessor, the Pincaddie. Although the LCD screens are much more common in entry-level and even mid-level rangefinders, it can be more difficult to see the black display against different backgrounds and varying weather conditions and light.
Noteworthy Features:
- PinHunter Technology for zeroing in to the flag
- Small, compact, and ergonomic design
- Long lasting battery life of 5000 Actuations
- Most affordable unit from the Leupold line
Our Verdict on the Pincaddie 2
To ping up the strokes, the Pincaddie 2 is a great entry-level and basic rangefinder. It’s a no-fuss unit that offers exactly what you need to get on the green – line of sight distance!
However, if you’re willing to spend just a little bit more for a simple upgrade, the Leupold GX-1i3 is new to 2017 and can be guaranteed to give you consistent readings every single time.
For the price, the Pincaddie can be compared with the Breaking 80 IS500 rangefinder. It’s cheaper, but it also has about 100 yards or so less reading capability than the Leupold one. However, if your budget is attracted to the $100-$200 price range, it’s worth checking out.
Leupold knows optics. You know golf. This is the perfect mix for the best strokes on the green!
