i like going to dicks sproting goods after the season is over, they are practacly giveing the stands away just so they dont have to ship them back to there wearhouse.
i perfer Summit, as far as climbers go. don't like lock-ons, will use just about any brand ladder stand. as long as they look well constructed and safe.
The summit viper climbing stand can be had for around what you are looking for. there are both pros and cons with this climber so some evaluation will be required as to its suitability to your style of hunting.
