I have a Surelock but find it has a very limited range of adjustment for windage. I now prefer to use a Copper John ANTS 2.

The Tri-axis looks better than it is.. I needed to do some major reconstructive surgery to keep it from making a lot of noise (The part that slides left-right isn't machined tight enough)...

And, a thing to keep in mind: unless you're shooting field and have to take up/downhill shots, you won't need the the third axis feature.

Must agree, outstanding sight the Coper John. The Merlin is very solid too. Had an old Surelock that did cause me a bit of trouble, but as I say it was old.

But out of the three the coper John has it all. Lost of windage and build quality beyond compare.

Forgot to mention and not unimportant: the Merlin has less than 2.25" windage, could be a problem if you want to shoot up to 90 m. Better check if that's enough before you decide.

Do you mean elevavation, not windage? Most compound sight only have about 1/4 to 1/2 max windage anyway?

[OpaNL]

You're right: Elevation is the right word..

I have a sure loc for both my compound (Supreme) and recurve (Quest X) and i think they are brilliant, i haven't had a single problem, Sure loc all the way!
