Looks great, Beener. I think I might go with the Sword Twilight Hunter instead, since it's available in predator camo. Plus, I don't see myself really needing a dovetail mount... I can usually get a fixed mount to fit inside my 1/4" peeps.
What are your thoughts so far on those pins? I'm guessing by the pics you went with the .019" pins. I'm planning on getting a sight built custom from Sword like I did my Axcel, with the first pin being .019'' and the next four or five being .010". Usually I'm partial to green pins, but in your pic that yellow (or amber) looks like it might work well for a first pin in .019". Sometimes the green is too bright and "halos" on me if it's too big. Of the pins you have, what color do you like the best?
.19 right now. I will get extra pins in .10 for my last two. I have my pins set for 25, 35, 45, 55 and the last hasn't been set yet but is going to be a "fun" distance.
The green is def the brightest with the largest halo with the light on. The red is what I will get for my last two pins.

Jim- I have the twilight hunter. I like it. Can't remember which color (mine is 5 pin) it is but one of them is terribly hard to see. It is overshadowed by the ones above and below it. I really have to focus on it when I should be looking at what is beyond it. I really don't like it. I will have to go check again to make sure it was the yellow one.
Oooh. Yea, if you get a chance, please take a look at it again and let me know. Whatever color it is, I'll stay away from it.

I'm a little jealous of you guys...I quit shooting .19's several years ago because I can't see 'em! I'm shooting .29's now, covers half the target at long range, but somehow still works.
Get yourself some contact lenses, dude. I can see like a fuggin peregrine falcon.

I have the same sight only i have six pins 4 .019 and 2 .010 for the bottom. I love mine. Sword sights are built like a tank. Just dont over tighten the pin adjustment screws. Doing so will compress the alum. bracket and your pins will no longer sit straight. The only compliant I have with Sword products in the Alum. they use is a little too soft.
