Default Climber recommendations?

I'm new to this forum and also a relatively new hunter. I'm looking to purchase a climber to deer hunt out of. Ive been looking at Ol man's Multi-vision climber. Have any of you hunted out of one? I have a friend who is a large fellow and says the net seats are very comfortable. Suggestions?

SUMMIT= commfort

TimberTall= Light as hell

Lonewolf= Comfort and Light

I have a summit and a lonewolf, i use the summit for the Rut when i sit all day, its heavier but is more comfy for all day sits. But if you hunt like the normal hunters do, 4-5 hours sits then i would go with the lone wolf, just cant be beat Imo.

All of my personal climbing stands are Ol' Man. I push 265# so I use the Grand and Grand Visions. Been using these for years. Simple, quiet, comfortable and sturdy. I have used my cousin's Summit. Forget the model but it is rated for 300#. It too is an excellent design. Very comfortable. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

I'm about 270 lbs and I've been using a Summit Ultra Viper. Absolutely love it.

I may have had the wrong Ol' Man climber, but I used a friends one afternoon and I wouldn't have one if you gave it to me. The net bottom was extremely uncomfortable to me. Buckshot or Summit are better IMHO.
