redline-rl-torch-sight-2-pin-grey-rh-1

I've had the pleasure of using the Redline RL-Torch Sight for a few weeks now, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. One of the things I love the most about it is how versatile it is - it's perfect for any range, any scenario, and any hunt. I've been using it for my weekends of trapshooting, and it's made a huge difference.

One of the standout features for me has been the slider sight. It's been a breeze to adjust for different distances, thanks to the micro-adjustment capabilities. The two pin sizes, both in green, are a fantastic touch for convenience. Plus, the internal rechargeable light has been a lifesaver - no more heavy sight light knobs to worry about!

However, there have been a few drawbacks. The noise and stiffness of the dial are less than ideal. Even after loosening the set screws, I've found it's still not as smooth as I'd like.

viper-tactical-series-5000-sight-1-pin-019-rh-1

As a passionate hunter, I was initially excited to try the Viper Tactical Series 5000 Sight 1 Pin. 019 RH. After using it for a few hunting sessions, I can confidently say that the excitement quickly died down. The sight is made of 6061 T6 aluminum, but I found it to be quite fragile and prone to damage.

One feature that I truly appreciated was the superior visibility offered by the single ultra-bright horizontal fiber optic metal pin. However, this did not make up for the lack of sturdiness of the sight itself. The 2nd axis adjustment was smooth due to the delrin bushings, but this did not help in preventing the sight from getting crooked during use.

I also found the 1.63-inch sight housing to be versatile, as it could be threaded for an optional lens kit and accepted most sight lights. Unfortunately, the weight of the sight (7.4 oz) added to the burden of carrying it during long hunting trips.

In conclusion, while the Viper Tactical Series 5000 Sight 1 Pin. 019 RH offers some impressive features, its fragility and inability to withstand the rigors of hunting make it a less-than-ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and durable sighting solution.

lyman-7031287-accusight-pistol-sight-installation-tool-1

As a gun enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to try out the Lyman AccuSight Pistol Sight Tool. This tool has been designed with the gunsmith and competition shooter in mind, and my experience with it has been quite positive.

Upon receiving the tool, I was impressed with its weight of just 0.9 ounces. It's lightweight and easy to handle, making it ideal for both small and large slides. The machined pocket for 1911 slides was another highlight, as it allowed me to easily remove and install front or rear dovetail pistol sights.

One aspect that stood out for me was the 4 horizontal and 1 vertical slide clamps, which ensured a secure grip on the slide. The full range height adjustment and 1/32" increment windage adjustment scale were also helpful in making precise adjustments. The large sight pusher handle provided adequate torque, and I appreciated that you could remove the handle and use a 3/8" wrench for additional leverage.

While the Lyman AccuSight Pistol Sight Tool worked well for the most part, there were a few minor drawbacks. Firstly, some users might find the tool a bit difficult to use initially, and it might take some time to get accustomed to its operation. Secondly, there were a couple of instances where I experienced some difficulties removing sights from specific handguns, such as the XDM Elite with suppressor height sights. Despite these minor issues, I still found the tool to be a valuable addition to my Gunsmithing toolset.

In conclusion, the Lyman AccuSight Pistol Sight Tool is a must-have for anyone looking to work on pistol sights. Its precise design, ease of use, and the fact that it's proudly made in the USA make it an excellent choice. Overall, I would highly recommend this tool to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to adjust, install, or remove front or rear dovetail pistol sights.

hha-optimizer-ultra-x-sight-5010-010-rh-1

HHA Optimizer Ultra sight was a game-changer for my hunting experience. The Infinite Adjust Slotted Slide Bracket made it a breeze to adjust at second axis and vertical axes. It was also great to maximize my sight tape range at 20 yards, with the smooth wheel design making adjustments effortless.

The R. D. S sight tape technology impressed me with its high-quality accuracy and confidence at varying yardage ranges. However, I did find the sight's adjustments during quick movements of my target a bit cumbersome.

Overall, the HHA Optimizer Ultra sight is an excellent and durable choice for hunters with 300+ fps bows, great for those who prefer one-pin adjustability. Though it may not be ideal for some bow setups, it's the go-to sight for many professional hunters, and it's made in the USA.
