G5 Sights
I can NEVER get the search function to work - it always comes back with "nothing found."
Who's using the new G5 sights? What do you think? I just got one w/a gift certificate I had from Cabella's, and before I open it, I thought I'd do a little reasearch w/my friends at HuntingNet.com. It was about $150, but I like the idea of it because it has the independently adjustable 4th pin, and the 8-position rheostat light that doesn't shine directly on the pins (which is the biggest problem I have w/my Copper John...the light "blurs out" the pins).
Thanks!

These sights are awesome. Definetly the best set of sights I have bought, and they fit my Drenalin perfect. A friend of mine also has a set and overtightened a pin and broke it, and G5 replaced the entire sight no questions asked. As for the light, it has the least halo of any sight I have looked at. The only thing I messed up with was buying the 5 pin sight and the light extra. The 3pin setup with the floating 4th pin was what I needed. Oh well though, it's still the best sight I have ever purchased and would reccomend it to anyone.

Other than that, they seem to be a great sight. I have not had one personally, but would definitely look into one if I was in the market for a new sight.

Snug definetly seems to be enough when tightening the screws. Over doing it can definetly break the pins or strip the screws. But so far I have never had a issue with stripping the screws, breaking anything, or having any noise from the sight itself. Two thumbs up for sure.
