    A little late, but I use Copper John I have a Dead Nutts 2 sight atm. Purchaed from Gander Mountain.

    For the cost I love it.

    My problem is the material of the arm and windage. I've bored out holes on the arm and windage shortly after I purchased the sight. I'm guessing the factory screws were not long enough as it tore the treads out of the upper part of the hole. I contacted Copper John regarding the issue. They sent me a new windage w/ in a few days. I have to say the customer service was superb. I was pretty ticked off about the site, but they did me right with their service. I wanted to write a review about it and never got to it, guess it's done now.

    I had a CJ Dead Nuts 2 Comp sight and it was a great sight. I really liked the micro-adjustment on the individual pins. I have since gone back to a single pin sight, but I'd use a CJ sight again in a second.

    I owned an original Dead Nuts, as well as a Dead Nuts 2. Both were great sites that were built like tanks. My Dead Nuts 2 had micro adjust, which was easy to use and very fluid. Pins were bright too. My only complaint was that the fibers weren't 100% protected and I broke pins on both of them. The DN2 fibers broke right where they come out of the wrap and into the pins.

    Last year I switched to the Armortech HD sight where the pins are 100% protected from end to end, and couldn't be happier. Not that I wouldn't recommend a CJ sight, but I will never personally go back to a sight with any exposed fibers ever again.
