What's the best Summit climbing stand for me? I'm 6'1" and 185. I've been looking at and thinking it's theViper X5.

I am 5'10 190 and i bought the Viper X5 and it is perfect. I LOVE THE STAND..........

I've got the basic bushmaster. It's light, easier to hike threw the woods and assemble. A friend of mine got the viper x5, to big! Nothing worse than hikeing a big stand to your spot and sweeting when you get there.

FYI... Just wanted to let you know Summit is a great company my 5 year old stand had a V support crack this season and I had a new stand from summit in less then a week. No questions asked!

I'm 6'-1" and weigh 205, I bought the Viper X4 last year (last years version of the Viper X5). I love it, you won't have any complaints with the X5. When I gotmy X4, there was a piece of slag from the weld rattleing within the platform tubing. They replaced the platform within a weekand paid for the shipping costs. Great company to do business with and a great product.

I just bought the Summit 180 (yesterday in fact). Haven't even used it yet but it looks SOLID! The thing I like about it is that you can face the tree or face away.

I would like to face the tree during gun season for added concealment.
