G5 Optix ME first Impressions
I just bought a G5 Optix ME .019" sight off a fellow Huntingnet.com member and my first impressions are that it's one sweet sight.I'm not a professional writer so you'll have to bear with me with my rambling.
The .019" pins are great. I can see very small objects on the target at 30 yds where before the whole black center ring was hidden with the .029" pins on my old rest.
The rest is easy to sight in.
Main housing can be adjusted vertically and horizontally with a thumb screw. Just loosenthe hex hold down bolt and turn the thumb wheel to move the whole assembly up or down, or left to right. No worries oftrying to adjust by sliding the bar by hand.
Once that is done you can adjust each pin independently with it's own screw. No worries of having to loosen up a hex nut and slide the pin by hand. You loosen a lock down hex screw and then use a hex wrench to adjust the screw for micro adjust. I think this is the best part of the whole sight. You can make very small adjustments without worrying about the pin being slid too far if you flinch.
The included LED lights up the pins sufficiently. Overall, I would recommend this sight to anyone looking for a sight that is easy to set-up and easy to sight in.
The sight comes with scales that can be used for the floating pin. The scale goes from 50 yds to 80 yds for the 240 fps scale,with 10 yd major marks and 5 yd minor marks, up to 50 yds to 100 yds for the 320 fps scale. Scales range in 5 fps increments beteen the 2. All you do is sight in the pin for 50 yds at the top and attach the scale to the housing. There's a thumb screw that clicks at each setting.
Overall I'd give this sight an A+.
