Sure loc, axcel, or cbe?

Sureloc......wouldn't use a free one
Axcel and CBE are both great.
I appreciate the machining and design of the axcels. The cbe (although crude) is a bulletproof, proven design.
My preference is axcel, mostly because I have a couple along with extra interchangeable blocks.
This is the biggest advantage. I can keep multiple scope sizes and pin setups, and switch whatever I want while maintaining 2nd and 3rd axis on each.
Another benefit is the rapid adjust....even though the cbe is fast and smooth.
You can go wrong with either.....but I give the edge to axcel.
If I were to categorize, the cbe is equal for 3D but loses in other target venues.
I just got the new achieve and sold an ax3000. Havent used it yet, but it looks to be a lighter, nicer upgrade over the ax series.

The older Sure-Loc Supreme's are good. Recent manufacturing in China has degraded quality... so I wouldn't by a new Sure-loc at this point.
CBE and Axcel both make great pieces. I'd give the edge to Axcel this year, their CNC'ing is impeccable and the production quality overall is impressive. It justifies the $380 pricetag.

I love my Axcel sights and highly recommend them to anyone weather for target or hunting. They are pricey but in the end with ease of adjustability and over all strength it is way worth it.

Of the ones I have used, CBE Elite and Quad Lite. QL for 3-D. Elite for everything else. Won't put a Sure Loc on my bow again. Wouldn't put the Axcells that far ahead of the SLs. The AX series was prone to a few issues, and usually the occurred at the wrong time. Press fit pins have a tendency to back out. Looks like they fixed that with the Achieve series, and probably going to give one of them a try. Wouldn't put an AX on my bows again though.
I havr had cbe elites and the axcel ax series. I like how adjustable the axcels are but who is gonna be that accurate so I don't see an advantage there over the cbes. I also beleive the cbe customer service is better in my opinion. And as far as the just how durable they look, hold one in each hand and look how much better they are made. But I guess that's my opinion to. I shoot and love cbes and haven't had any problems at all
