Thanks for the input on mount systems. I have always hunted deer with a scoped rifle, so I guess I might be a little lost without a scope.
It is easier for me to move around and shoot a light rifle from a tree stand. It seems deer watch to see which direction my stand faces and then make a point to walk behind me. It's tough standing up for an off hand shot with a heavy rifle while hanging around the side of a tree 35' up.
