Title: Black Gold Rush site?
Post by: mallard79 on May 08, 2011, 04:54:28 PM: Anyone used the Black Gold RUSH sight? I was looking at it at OE yesterday and it looks like a nice sight. It seems to be a well built and well thought out sight. I like the idea of having the flashpoint so the pins don't get too bright during mid day or bright conditions.
I was using a Cobra Boomslang 4 pin and liked it but it had the bigger pins so I switched to another Cobra 6 pin with the smaller pins and don't care for it all that much. A new sight might be in my future..... :chuckle:
Any input is appreciated

but yes.....black gold are the toughest and brightest sights out with a killer warranty. you can't go wrong.

I went with .029 for the top pin, .019 for the next two, and .010 for the bottom two. They will customize any sight for you through their custom shop. Here is a tip though, order through a dealer rather than direct. It will save you 15 to 20%.

I called Black gold & found out there was a lifetime warranty no matter what ! I got two covers ( one for a spare ) in the mail in two days. Great service. Mike
