I am getting a climber but which one!?!
 

I have decided to get a climber and have pretty much made up my mind that I want a summit. But, I am not sure which one. I am looking at the Viper and the Razor but am sorta undecided. I also found one on Cabelas that is the Summit Viper but they just put a cabelas sticker on it. It is about 30 bucks cheaper than the Viper SS. That now leads me to my second question. Is the summit skin worth the extra $30? Because if it is I will spend it. But if not, why should I waste the money? I also have the Gorilla Greyback in mind but that is behind the summit on my list. So if you guys and girls could give me some advice that would be great. I am looking to get one within the next few weeks sooooo....

Before you buy, check them out in-person if possible. Check them against other brands, and the decision will be made for you!

I've had a Viper for along time,still works great.I might get some of their new tape they put on them now. Helps quiet the metal rails, plus it's camo. I looked at the Razor, I'm not sure about sitting on a rail that folds down.I sure it's safe, but I'm not too keen on heights.LOL
Good Luck!

I use to use the Warren Sweet bowhunter, but now its the Summitt Viper. Oh what a difference it made in climbing. Summitt Viper all the way...

I have a Summit Goliath that I bought four years ago and I love it. My neighbor bought one last year and it is very comfortable, easy to carry and climb with. I personaly just don't like the new "RapidClimb" stirrups but... I think the only difference between the Goliathand the Viper is the weight capacity...(and price).

Lone Wolf guy here. I had a Summit and hated it. So you see everyone has their opinion. It would be in your best interest to try these stands out if you can.

RE: I am getting a climber but which one!?!
 

Chalk up another for the Viper. Awesome stand.

I'm hunting out of ol man now (heavy but really steady) but I am looking at the equalizer with the leveling feature.

Another Summit Viper fan here, Simple and climbs great, I need to tape mine as well, its an older model so it kinda makes some racket when taking apart and putting on the tree, but it probably just sounds loud to me @ 5am everything sounds loud in the stillwoods. I love the bar that goes around the seat, with that you can lean against it to take awkward shots for stability, or lower the seat for gun season and use it as a rifle rest. Then you can alsoconcentrate on the shot and not worring about falling out. Pretty darn comphy too for such a little seat. I let my friend hunt out of it one time and he commented on how he was surprised at its comfort, he even said he dozed off which he had never done in a climber. I think he wants one now, lol.
