I have two buddies that live by them. The one buddy said that he's never been able to sit all day, that's until he got a Millennium stand. I'm considering getting one too, but I have too many other items to purchase that are higher in the Priority list. i.e..slug gun, climbing sticks, and new trail cam.
I'm waiting to do a full review on the 25 - but I can tell you that I was very impressed. Cheap. Safe. Not noisy. Not to mention a 3 yr warranty.
M25 stands are new for 2012. I tried to buy one back in April and they were not available. But, the Owner of Millenium Treestands gave me a M100 for the price of a M25 since he could not fill my order at that time. That floored me. Millenium treestands are awesome. I WON'T use another lock-on stand.
I had a simliar experience with them. Customer Service was magnificent. They will be around for awhile, I think.
Does the M25 use the Cam Lock Reciever system? It appears it doesn't on their site. I was debating getting the M100 and really like the reiever system and the stand is super comfortable but I went another route due to price. I wanted something for run & gun style hunting and the idea of the multiple brackets and a 14 pound stand was great with the M100. But the other two stands(M25 & M50) just seem like your standard issue hang ons at 20 + pounds not to mention the M25 doesn't seem to use the bracket system. They are at least reasonably priced(a bit high for my liking) but I am looking forward to the review.
No, it doesn't. Still a very nice little stand. I should have the review up next week sometime! THe bracket is quicker, for sure. But the M25 is more of a hunting stand. The 100 is NICE, but I think being able to get a shot in some instances could be tough, because of the side straps, and the way the seat sticks out (but it does fold up).
Wanted to bump this to the top for the folks who were looking for the review...see the link below. All in all, I'm extremely pleased with the stand and have confidence it will perform for years to come! Don't have tons and tons of features - but for the price I'm very happy with it. http://www.outdoorfreaks.net/outdoors-reviews/millennium-m25-hang-on-tree-stand-review/
My neighbor just purchased and received his M50 and I am fairly confident that it does come with the receiver. The M25 does not. I believe this might be the most comfortable hang-on I have ever laid my butt down on!!
Yeah, I agree. The only different really in the M50 and the M25 is weight and attachment method. Very comfy!
Man I hope! I love my M100 and dont want to use any other stands. Im not sponsored by them in any way but I think its a great company and keep trying to push them the best I can for my selfish reason of wanting to have them around for a long time. So comfortable and I feel completely safe in mine! And Im afraid of heights!
