End of last season we hit #^&#^&#^&#^&s and got these ladder stands. Regular price was around 160.00, we got them for 60. They are 17' and have a removable shooting rail. These things are solid, I think they were Field and stream brand or something like it. Theyt came with one ratcheting strap for the top, and we added a second at the foot platform, not seen in the picture.

Good deal. I got a similar one from Wally world a couple years ago. Solid with rail. Comfortable. Weights a ton packing in though. Just picked up a Summit Climber with a rail. Only weights 21lb's.

Killed many a buck out of a summit. They are awesome. Nice deal on the ladder stand.

I have a viper and love it, but there is something to be said about walking into the woods, climbing a ladder that is already there.
