    I'm looking for the best bang for my buck hunting sight.
    I want a sight that is all metal including the pins, has 5 .19" pins, and a level. I will appreciate some recommendations and first hand experience.
    Thanks.[​IMG]

    Check out Sword Sights. Things are built like tanks at a decent price. Not sure of your price range but the Twilight Hunter and Apex 3rd Plane can both be found for around $100 on eBay.

    I use a Trophy Ridge React 5 pin. Bright sight pins and a light for the pins too. Very helpful inside a blind early morning or late evening. Easy to sight in and reasonably priced. Although I was just looking at their website and don't see my model anymore. Might be able to find it online on Amazon though. I think I paid about $150.

    Well, what kind of hunting and shooting do you do? how far out do you practice?

    I really like my HHA Optimizer Kingpin with the 3 pin housing. 3 pins offer me instant range versatility as opposed to the 1 pin version, yet for practice or trips out west I can dial my bottom pin out past 80 yards. Best of both worlds in my opinion and it's build like a tank.

    I second the iq. I picked it up on sale for decently priced. I have the 5 pin micro adjust retina lock and it's tighten my groupings up a lot at longer distances.

    A very nice - machined aluminum with bright pins for $60-70. Made in Wisconsin.

    Great sight - machined aluminum with very bright pins for $100-120 (Rush). Made in Montana.

    IQ - Made in China. Put one in your hand and you can tell. It took 3 replacements from IQ to get me 1 that worked/wasn't broken right out of the box. Good concept - poor quality.

    The pro hunter sights look very good for the money. I think I may try them. Does it take a while to ship with them or pretty quick turn around.

    Mine showed up in a few days. I bet it goes out their door today or tomorrow. I got the Green Monster w/light. Great sight for the cost. I would call them.

    I have a apex 5 pin and it is great. The pins are really bright...so bright that I always think the back light is on but it's not. It's made out of metal and was fairly cheap

    I'm a big fan of the HHA Single pin .010. I still have a trophy ridge 5-pin on my old bow that is good as well.

    I made a switch to the Axcel sights & really like 'em. I now one of your requirements was .019 pins, but their pins are super bright. My Axcel with .019 pins is to bright & I had to put tape on the window to dim them down.

    Black Gold is the only sights I will use. The photo chromatic shield is the bees knees. Plus when you order you can customize it how YOU want it.

    Just picked up an extreme raptor 911. 4 pin sight, all aluminum, light weight with a adjustable blue burst light. New 40 dollars. Nice little sight.

    Another vote for Montana Black Gold. BRIGHTEST pins on the market

    Mark 3, with micro adjust. Switched from Black Gold and I love it.
