I have a Gorilla stand that is very comfortable. Thinking about getting a Millennium or two as additional ones. Are they as comfortable as the Gorilla stands?

Never used a Gorilla the Millenium M-100 is about as nice of a sit as you can ask for in my opinion

Millenium is the only lock on I use. It's the only lock on I found I could comfortably sit in for more than about an hour.

The lock on I have is as comfortable as my recliner. The seat is just a little too high for me but has never been an issue. Only thing I have trouble with is the buckles on the sides of my safety harness hanging on the support cables when I sometimes stand up. Best stand that I own though.

Forgot to add that they are pricey. I would like to have several more, but they will break the bank.

Sounds like it would be a good stand for moving easily and set to up quickly. If they're as comfortable as you guys say, then I think I found my next stand.

Millennium M-100's are awesome. I sat in my first one in 2007 on a hunt in Missouri, and when I got home, I ordered two. They make sitting 4-6 hours a breeze, you almost done want to get up. They are also the easiest lock-on I've ever hung.

Been in business for 25 years, Millennium is the most comfortable lock-on made. When everything else I sale has been dropping, the Millennium has been growing. We are their number one independent dealer in the nation.

Echo what pea ridge stated earlier. I have multiple m50s I leave on all season and one m100u I run and gun with. Spend the extra coin and get the 100u.

My advice, buy a m100u, add the extra foot rest option, then invest in extra chains and cheap climbing sticks for each location you plan to hunt. You can pack it in and barely know you have it on your back, easy to attach and very comfortable. I've sit from dawn to dusk multiple times in the 100 which is miserable in a poorly made stand.

I think packing it in and hanging it right before you hunt would be tough. A safety harness with linemans belt would be a necessity to allow both hands free to pull the stand up or pull it off your back and drop the stand into the bracket. Then you still have to pull up your rifle or bow.

I always add a ratchet strap to the foot platform to make it nice and steady. I have found just dropping the stand into the bracket leaves the platform a little too wobbly for my taste.

I have a m100 and 2 of the m150 Monsters. I've sat in all kinds, but from here on out, it's Millenniums for me.

Hands down the best loc on for comfort. I own around 20 of them if that tells you anything.

I use a lineman's belt at the top of my sticks to attach to the tree... and hang the stand that way when I pack one in. I have a cam-buckle strap that I use around it rather than a ratchet strap. Never had issues with it being wobbly with that set.

Do you pull the stand up to the top with a pull rope or climb the sticks with the stand on your back?

I use the lightest aluminum stand they sell... so I just climb the sticks with the stand on my back.
