Let's see. If my feeble memory serves me right the Viper is the stand I have (I really do) and the Bullet is basically a Viper that folds more flat for packing? Other than that they are the same stand.

RE: summit tree stand
I've used both of these stands. I prefer the non folding Viper SS. The folding one takes time to fold and unfold when youstart and finish hunting, yes,it's flatter when walking through the woodsbut it's on your back soyou really don't notice it anyway. Also, the folding stand is not as strong as the non folding stands, plus, I don't like moving parts on a stand, more chance to make noise.

RE: summit tree stand
I have both of these. Love both but use the viper more times than the bullet. The Bullet is a bit more noisy when putting it together before climbing and can be noisy when sitting in it. It does seem to bestrong.The viper takes up more room in traveling with it in your car or truck where the bullet lays down flat. The two are the same in comfort and climbing.
