Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope Magnification: Optics & FOV

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope has 6x fixed magnification. A target appears about 6 times as large in angular size as it does to the unaided eye.

What 6x means on the course

The Tour Z6 Slope uses 6x optics, the most common fixed magnification in this rangefinder set.

Its 393 ft-at-1,000-yd field of view is relatively wide among models with published FOV data, which can help you find the flag without excessive panning.

Eye relief is 16 mm, close to the middle of the published values in this dataset.

The published flag-ranging figure is 450 yd, so the optical system is paired with flag acquisition intended for that distance range.

Published ranging accuracy is 0.5 yd where that figure is expressed numerically; this is separate from magnification.

How large does the target appear?

100 ydroughly like viewing it unaided from 17 yd
200 ydroughly like viewing it unaided from 33 yd
300 ydroughly like viewing it unaided from 50 yd
400 ydroughly like viewing it unaided from 67 yd

These are approximate angular-size comparisons to help visualize magnification. They are not laser-range or accuracy claims.

How its magnification compares

6x matches the median confirmed fixed magnification and is also the most common value in this 137-model set.

This comparison is only against the models in this rangefinder dataset; it is not an industry-wide ranking.

Lens, eye relief and display

The objective lens diameter is 21 mm. Objective size is one part of the optical design; coatings, transmission and ambient light also affect the view.

Exit pupil is published at 3.5 mm. This page uses the published/source value rather than calculating one from other specs.

Eye relief is 16 mm, which is mid-range among the models here with published eye-relief data.

The Tour Z6 Slope uses Bushnell-style Vivid Display Technology, a display system intended to improve readout visibility against changing backgrounds without altering optical power.

Field of view at golf distances

The published field of view is 393 ft at 1,000 yd, relatively wide in this dataset. The same angular view spans approximately:

100 ydabout 39 ft wide
200 ydabout 79 ft wide
300 ydabout 118 ft wide
400 ydabout 157 ft wide

These widths are proportional conversions from the published field-of-view specification.

Steadiness, scan mode and target lock

6x gives substantial enlargement without the extra shake sensitivity of the highest-magnification models.

Flag range is listed at 450 yd. That is a laser-acquisition limit/context figure, not an optical magnification figure.

Can you zoom the Tour Z6 Slope?

No variable optical zoom range is listed. The Tour Z6 Slope is a fixed 6x optic. Any eyepiece or diopter adjustment changes focus for your eye, not magnification.

Who is this optical setup best suited to?

A strong all-round optical setup for golfers who want useful enlargement without moving into very high magnification.

The relatively wide published field of view also favors faster target finding and scanning.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope magnification FAQ

What magnification is the Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope?

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope has 6x fixed magnification. A target appears about 6 times as large in angular size as it does to the unaided eye.

Can you zoom the Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope?

No variable optical zoom range is listed. The Tour Z6 Slope is a fixed 6x optic. Any eyepiece or diopter adjustment changes focus for your eye, not magnification.

Is 6x enough magnification for golf?

6x provides meaningful target enlargement. More magnification is not automatically better because it also makes normal hand movement more visible.

Does magnification change the Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope’s laser accuracy?

No. Magnification changes how large the target looks through the optic. It can make aiming easier, but it does not itself change the laser’s published ranging accuracy.

What is the Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope field of view?

The listed field of view is 393 ft at 1,000 yards, which corresponds to about 118 ft of scene width at 300 yards.

What is the Bushnell Tour Z6 Slope eye relief?

Eye relief is listed at 16 mm. That is the approximate distance behind the eyepiece from which the intended field of view can be seen.
