I have the larger model. It is heavy and a bit of a chore to put together. But, It is very comfortable and quiet. If you're going to do all day sit's, it's worth it.

I've been using the large one for about 3 weeks.
No noise when pivoting. After a couple of hours my ham strings get pretty sore.
I found relief by sitting,side saddle for a,while.

No way I'm going to take it apart to put in the carrying bag.
I tied on some,good back pack straps. Hang my pack on the back, sitting on the seat. Not real comfy carrying but works ok.

I have the large model & we fight over who's going to use it.
Tried the smaller size for a couple of hunts, and had the same experience as gokartjon.

My wife and I have been using the larger one for a couple of years.  For long sits out hunting or camping or just about anywhere it is the most versatile and comfortable outdoor chair. We are in our 60s and we hunt about a mile in, to make the carry easier, we put ours in a Duluth number 3 canoe pack with the seat pad used as a back pad inside the pack; then to keep everything in place we have a strap cinched around the pack.  If one were to carry it in its original bag long distances, it is easiest to use the strap on the bag as a tump strap.  That is put the strap across the head at the hairline and tuck your chin down a little. I carry 80 pound food packs across long portages in Canada on canoe trips this way, it is the best way as it puts the weight across your skeletal support in stead of just baring the entire load on your shoulders.  the ten pounds of the Huntmore chair when carried in this tump fashion is nothing compared to the canoe pack weights. The reason we use the Dulth packs  is simply that the original bag is a tight fit.  If I were to change anything about the original chair, I would put it in a slightly larger bag that had two cinch straps that would hold everything in place.

I have been using mine this turkey season and I am very happy with it. It is not near as hard to pack in as I suspected. I got both the 16" and 19". Adds more options for different situations.

I have the hunt more, and I bought 5 of the cabelas seat after buying my first one it's so much more comfortable than the huntmore and just as portable easier to set up. So I will sell my huntmore, as I will probably never use it again.

I have and love the 19" huntmore there isn't a better built chair out there and Scott offers customer service that is second to none.  I sat in the cabelas chair at the store and it was noisy (roller bearing noise).

You might take a look at the "Blind Ambition - Blind King Hunting Chair".  I had a Huntmore, and it is comfortable but bulky and awkward to carry and set up (for me).  I've found the Blind King to be just as comfortable, and it folds flat, so it's easier to carry.  I have the swivel seat and it is solid, very quiet and easier and quieter to set up.

I sat in the Blind Ambition chair today for 8-9 hours.  I like it.  Easy to carry and quite comfortable.

I have the 16" and it is a very comfortable chair, fully adjustable on uneven terrain, quiet and I think easy to set up and carry. I don't take the seat off but just unhook the back snaps.
