Default Black gold slider dimension

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the width of their black gold pro or ascent. I’m looking for the outside edge of the housing to outside edge of the adjustment knob ?

Thanks

Black Gold has made 3 different lengths of axle for their Ascent slider variants that I know of. I like the shortest axle the best, keeping the dial nearest the housing as it catches less brush hunting moose and caribou, etc. I have a short...available custom a few years ago, and a medium that was standard on the Whitetail Ascent. I had the widest stock Ascent Verdict from 2016 but sent BG the center component and had them install the shortest dial, which they used on the original Ascent. My measurements:

Whitetail Ascent, Medium axle length, bought about 3 yrs ago: 1.3"

Shortest Axle on a modified BG Ascent Verdict, done about 3 or 4 yrs ago: 1"

I have the old longest axle Ascent Verdict Slider dial I had them replace and it would have stuck out 1.5".

Measurements listed are from the outside of the dial to the where the dial axle enters the body of the sight.

Oh ok thanks, I didn’t realize they had different length depending on the model. I ended up getting the pro sight without the dovetail. And it fits inside my bow case still

1-1/4" is better than the 2016 Ascent Verdict at 1-1/2"was...stuck way out there! Still like the 1" version the best for hunting. If just a target shooter the long axle would be fine.
