What would be interesting to see would be a head-to-head comparison of available micrometer adjustable target sights. Spott-Hogg, CBE, Sure-Loc, Toxonics, CopperJohn, Archers Choice, TBU Ball/Axcel, etc, etc.
Important design characteristics to evaluate:
1) Test thread system backlash in both planes.
2) Test click movement distances after backlash is removed (both planes).
3) Durability of scope mounting provisions from shock.
4) Means of adjusting slop or movement from system (if req'd).
5) Repeatability of sight bar mounting system.
6) 2nd and 3rd axis ajustments - Ease and the security of the adjustment.
7) Fast adjustments for elevation - If present.
8) Materials used in ext bar, leade screws and other critical components.
9) Compare specific areas of each sight for ease of adjustment, security under vibration and durability - highlighting pro's/con's of each.
10) Overall mass weight.
11) ...I'm certain that I missed plenty and went overboard on some.
Your thoughts...??
