1) Yes, I have one.

2) Yes, the footrest folds up to make it more compact for carrying.

3) It is very comfortable.

4) Compared to the Cobra or Bushmaster it feels and is heavier but not excessively so. I think the actual weight is around 21 or 22 pounds...average for most climbers in my opinion.

5) Yes, definitely. In fact, this is the stand I use for full day rifle hunts because it makes it very easy to relax and get comfy.

6) I would probably stick with the Revolution. The Viper has the shooting rail which can be helpful for steadying a rifle or for sit down/stand up climbing but I primarily bowhunt and the open front of the Revolution gives the hunter less of a problem with really close shots. Not to mention the fact that you can remove the footrest and effectively turn the Revolution into a Cobra.

Great stand in my opinion.
