This year, Dick's is offering 2 climbers manufactured by Hunter's View. From my viewpoint, they're nearly identical except for material used--one is a few pounds heavier and costs about $50.00 less. Both are similar to the ol' man stands without the pivoting arms. My current stand isn't a day long stand so I've been holding out for years in getting a super comfortable stand and this one may actually accomplish that AND fit my budget. What I don't know is if it is actually comfortable and noise-free. Does anyone have any experience with this stand?
