I just purchased a summit viper classic this weekend. Hunted with it 2 nights and was very happy with the ease of the product. Took some getting used to as it is my first climber but it is quiet and easy to pack.
Yea ive been thinking abouty that stand... I have a frien who has gunslinger but that dag gone thing is so high on his back and i can see it just getting snagged on branchs and making a boat load of noise... i know it conffy but i kinda want the who package of light quiet and conffy!!!

right now i only gun hunt. However i do have a summit treestand and it is a very comfortable stand that you can sit in for hours. I cant comment on the others
Alot of good stands on the market today. For a climbing stand I really like the Summit; very easy setup; quiet; stable; backpacks well; and most of all comfortable. I have both the Viper and (Titan SD which is for the larger hunter with a little more room and rated for more weight.)
