    Was wondering if anybody knows much about this climber? I'm really leaning strongly towards it now. 16lbs, folds flat, $200, and a sling style seat. It looks like a really solid climber to me.

    I just got the Ol' Man Multi-vision Aluminum. It's pretty sweet. Only 19 lbs. Feels like nothing on my back. It was on sale for $170 at Sportsman's Guide. I know that's not what you asked, but it might be something to check out if money is a factor

    I went out for a couple hours this evening. Used the marksman for the first time. This is the first time i've ever used a climbing stand. It was light an much quiter than expected climbing the tree. Comfortable with the net seating plenty of room. No problems climbing down in the dark. Great buy for the price it light comfortable an user friendly.
