Spot Hogg Sights
Just ordered my General and now it's time to deck it out. I have been told by most that for sights, Spot Hogg is the way to go. However, in researching them I am a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices. At first I was just considering the "Right On" and then moved to the "Real Deal" and then finally on the "Hunter Hogg It". My question is, for hunting, is it really necessary for micro-adjustability? Furthermore, what is the true benefit of the 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments on the "Hunter Hogg It"? Is the 2" diameter shield the best or the 2 3/8"? 0.19 pins or 0.29? Please let me know your thoughts.

Here's a review of a 3rd axis sight I just did last evening. It's got a little information in it.....

But specifically to what you're looking for in regards to 3rd plane, TFOX posted this earlier this month, it is loaded with 3rd axis information. Enjoy.

RE: Spot Hogg Sights
In my opinion, the guard size should be dicated by the peep size you have, plus the distance from your peep to the sight. I personally have a small guard and my Fletcher 3/16" peep lines up perfectly in my Hunter Hogg.
Pin size, is really a personal preference. The larger diameter fiber is stronger and will take a bit more abuse, but you sacrifce the pin point accuracy of a smaller pin. Also, the larger fiber gathers a bit more light than the smaller fibers. I actually switched from .029 to .019 for all my pins. I don't think I'd go any smaller as these work for me.

I just bought the Hogg-It wrapped with the large guard and .019 pins on Dan's recomendation. Like you I was looking at the Real Deal and didn't see the advantages of the Hogg-It, but so many people recomended it over the Real Deal that I just said the heck with it. I figured that even if it wasn't any better that it couldn't be any worse. If you're already willing to spend $170 for a top of the line product what's another $40. Let me tell you this sight is absolutely awesome. If your just deer hunting it might seem overkill to have this kind of adjustability, but it's nice to have. My old tru-glo was so hard to adjust that I just settled for close enough while sighting it in, with the hogg-it you can move your group just fractions of an inch.
