Default Needing a new sight

Looking to lose the single pin and go back to the multiple pin sight but don't want to spend a fortune. Been thinking about Tru Glo or G5. Any suggestions?

TruGlo and G5 both build quality sights. You might check out some of the Apex sights. I have had the slide bar model for the last 3 years and i have no complaints.

Thte true glo sights are good for a hunter on a budget like me. I have the 4 pin and it works good for me. They don't have as much fiber optics and you can't see them as well in low low light, but you get what you pay for.

not sure how cheap you want to go, but I have a 3 pin I think it is a true glow nice sight I went from a 3 to a 5 and would let you have it for the shipping.

If you want it let me know.

Not sure of your budget but if it's in your range give some consideration to the Spot Hogg Real Deal with wrap. I got the .019 pins with wrap and the thing is amazing and you can fine tune it until you're shooting bullet holes. It went with the Real Deal because I don't need third axis where I hunt which drives the price up.

Look at Sword Sights, best for the price IHMO, don't go throw away money on a cheap Tru-Glo or Cobra and get a "BUDGET" site when you can spend just a little more $$$ and get a top quality site at a budget price. Just the Sword Apex hunter in the 4 pin for around $60 is a great deal.

I have not actually used this sight but it was a 4 pin extreme and was about $80-90 but you dont need any tools to adjust it and its very easy to adjust. i just kinda took it out and messed with it for a minute. it looked like a very good quality sight you might wanna check them out.
