Ol Man Climber is the way to go if you ask me. I can climb very quietly and feel secure up high. It is one of the only treestands you can actually adjust while you are up the tree safely so you are not sagging down. For a gun hunter the Ol Man has a nice shooting rail.

Weight is an issue to consider when buying a climber, so check all of these stands for actual weight. I carry my stand in and out with one shoulder strap on with no problem.
