Summit Viper XLS
I tried a search on this and didn't find anything so forgive me if it has been discussed. I am shopping for a lightweight aluminum climbing stand with a cable type system. I am sick of my old heavy steel climber with the bolts and wingnuts. Anyhow, I saw a nice looking stand at wal-mart for about $159 I think, I can't remember the brand name. It has all the features I want including a removeable shooting rest on the front. I also found a used viper xls for $150 that is supposed to be like new. I offered the guy $125 but he refused. Is the viper a good comfortable stand? I will use it primarily for bowhunting. I like the idea of the removeable shooting platform on the wal-mart unit but I would rather buy the stand that is a better unit. Is $150 a good price for the viper?
