Mainviper Pro Level SD

Summit has debuted its Viper Level Pro SD climber, which promises to combine comfort and security with additional adjustability over its predecessor. Thanks to its patent-pending EasyLevel dial system, hunters no longer have to worry about climbing all the way down to adjust the angle of their platforms. Instead, they can use the dials to keep the platforms level—all while remaining attached to the tree.

Like its Viper Pro SD predecessor, the Viper Level Pro SD comes equipped with a Quick Draw Pro cable-retention system; a FasTrack accessory system; a wraparound armpad; a comfortable foam suspended seat measuring 18X12-inches at the bottom and 12X20-inches at the back; Dead Metal sound-deadening technology; and more. All this combines to create a climber that weighs only 26 pounds, with a 300-pound weight capacity. Further, it will fit around a tree measuring anywhere between eight- and 20-inches in diameter.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
