kl...Welcome!!! I agree with gobble...API and Summit seem to be what most hunters use...I happen to like API...mainly because of the design of the shooting rail..Which I use when hunting fields...Check them both out, they come in different sizes..I'm 6'5 and weigh about 240...but one of my hunting buddies is about 5' 5 and weighs about 140...so we use different sizes...Good Luck...nchawkeye
