Anybody ever used any of the black gold sights??? I have trouble spending 170 on a sight but with the ability to customize every pin with the color and the size and being able to choose how may pins I want I might just buy one!! Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome!

Their 2014 lineup, the "Pure" series has MAJOR improvements:
-angled yardage tape face
-red yardage indicator
-micro adjust
-7075 aluminum for added strength
-2nd and 3rd axis built into the standard base
These new ones are more expensive, about $250-$350 but IMO it moves them into the top spot over Spot Hogg. They are just as tough now, tougher than a sight needs to be, and their pins are much brighter.
I have the MBG Ascent Ambush like Ragin' but I'll be switching to the Pure series when they ship in April. My views on the MBG Ascent Ambush:
Pros:
-fairly light
-brightest pins of everyone IMO
-photochromic shell works awesome
-completely customizable (sight ring color, dovetail, pin colors, single pin, 3 pin, 5 pin, etc)
Cons:
-price (they can be expensive with custom options but otherwise they are on par with HHA and cheaper than Spot Hogg)
-poor sight light design IMO
-yardage tapes don't have colors that can be seen at first and last light
I'm nitpicking on the cons but that's really it.
