best climber for the $$ ?
 
Hey guys, I know this probably a loaded question but I was wondering what one of the better climber stands would be? I just got rid of an older summit viper that weighed a ton and was squeaky. Looking for something light and with a nice seat.

Not cheap, but I love my Equalizer...the leveling feature really works. Good luck.

Summit all the way. Can't beat the comfort and construction.

I to have a Equalizer and love this stand! GREAT STAND!!!!! Get one!! You won't be dissapointed. Go to thier Web Site and have them send you a CD on the stand ,Check it out before you buy any other stand!

The Summit Viper is also available in an aluminum version that's lighter and more stealth. I've tried a few....and go back to this stand as my go-to.

Good luck.

I use a Summit Openshot, i love it more than anything, because of the fact that i can carry it into the woods easily and then once i get there im not quite sweating like a champ. and im not tired as all heck ither, so i would recomnd this stand for you, because i love mine only thing is it dosent have those rails so be careful and ALWAYS wear your saftey harness.

I bought a Summit Viper a couple yrs ago for $120. I love it, almost too much. I tend to fall asleep!!!

I have a summit viper, its ok. I still prefer my Ol Man. The summit is a little more comfortable, but the Ol man is lighter and easier to climb with, plus is quieter.

look around in classfieds and see if you can get a good deal on a used one. I just picked up a used summit viper for 180.00

uhh, i wish i had a lone wolf but the fella said he wanted it to be affordable. Lone wolf stands we all know are not that affordable. I love my API bowhunter, cheap and very comforable and easy to use.
