For not much more you can get a sure-loc supreme 550 in the sights and stabs section. All the sight you will likely ever need. Typically comes with a 10/32 sight block, but for $20ish you can buy a 8/32 from Lancaster or others, or just get/make a 10/32 aperature.

I'll second Erik, and add I've been ridiculously happy with my Fita EXTREME!! It actually has to be typed that way, sorry. It's just that extreme.

It's pretty darn identical to the QuestX, and the block looks like my Supreme so it's plenty tough.

If I had 120 to spend, one can do a lot worse than a Shibuya Dual Click, used on these forums for about 125.

I thought about a Shibuya Dual Click but what turned me off to that is I need a sight with quick adjust and micro click. Unlike my chinsey cartel medalist that I have to dig out my wrenches just to do a little adjustment for. Correct me if I'm wrong but the dual click you have to unscrew a bunch of thumb screws to adjust correct

The only person I've ever seen using one hated it. He said it was heavy and clunky and poorly built and there are better options for the same money (shibuya dual click, W&W ws600, 2nd hand high end sight like suggested above)

Bear in mind he was a shop owner who could pick and choose his gear out of whatever he had in the shop but he's usually pretty good at rating gear based on what it's supposed to be (he's not the sort of guy who complains about a ford because it isn't a rolls royce).

From what I've heard, the use of both metric / standard hardware on the Davis is a deal breaker for me. I've played a bit with one, solid and well built.

Is there some reason to avoid the Dual click?

If you're patient, you should be able to find a used Shibuya Dual Click. If you're really, really patient you might be able to even get into a used Shibuya Ultima RC for about the same money that you're planning to spend. One last sight you can be patient waiting for a used one to appear - the Win & Win WS-600. The WS-600 is what I got (used) when I got impatient waiting for a new Dual-click. It's got a few advantages over the Dual-click (carbon extension and aluminum aperture block) for about the same money as you're looking to spend on that SF sight.

For both the Dual-click and the WS-600, there is only one locking screw, and it's for elevation. On my WS-600, it doubles as a quick adjust too - unscrew it a lot, push it in and hold it while you make large, quick elevation adjustments.

I'm seeing a common thread in my advice in this reply - it's going to take patience. Good used sights don't come up very often. You could always do what I did and beg...

Need a new sight that will last a long time, cant afford a sure loc (at least not now) or shibuya.
Is this W&W sight quality and worth the money? Or should I save a little longer and get something better?

If you take precautions it is a good sight. I am using the W&W Sebastian Flute Premium Carbon Sight. It uses the same head. If you don't plan on using an upper limb shock damper then don't buy this sight!

I need a sight with micro click and quick adjust. I'v seen the dual click and it's basically the same adjustment method as my cartel medalist right?

Ok, I got it.
Inspection found it to be well made. Good fit and finish and the adjustment solid.
Nothing loose and sloppy. The only thing I found unacceptable was the peel and stick labels on the adjustment knobs.
They look cheap and we're not lined up well. Small issue but could be better.

I shot about 70 arrows and no noise and nothing came loose. It is very light by the way.

Overall it it an awesome deal for the price from what I can tell so far.

Pics?? I always like to see a picture that is more close up that the Lancaster stock image.

The shibuya double click isn't that hard to adjust and its really stable. It's tough (I've dropped my bow / forgot to tie the finger sling) on it on concrete and it got a few scratches). I don't even lock it and it stays in place. No screws to undo for elevation and there is even a release so you can move it by hand (if you don't want to click it). The horizontal adjustment for the pip is a turn click. The only time you'll need the allen is if you want to loose the horizontal to slide the pip many mm at a time or if you need to set the whole sight height on the elevation bar.
