Best Box Blind

Personally, I think the stand the blind is put on is just as important as the blind itself.
I laugh my ass of driving around and seeing 4000.00$ blinds sitting on top of a structure that is off kilter ( not level) waiting for a wind to come and blow it over. See it quite often.

I've built lots of blinds. They are level, sunk into the ground 3' with concrete.
Rock solid, bug proof, scent proof ,QUITE, ,and will last MANY years.

Nope, not portable but perfect if in the perfect location.

You hunt out of a manufactured blind (especially in cold weather) on a calm day long enough, it's gonna cost you.;)

Currently looking at getting my first box blind — Primarily used during late season archery (Ohio). In open AG field, prefer it to be elevated.

Seems like the market is saturated with any and all types.

I’m looking at a Redneck ($4200’ish) or a Diamond ($4700’ish) … both with towers.

Any thoughts or recommendations will be appreciated.

i have 2 Grizzly's & love them!
 
The rednecks have the new window lock system this year to help stop window leaks. Does anyone know if the new design improved window leaks?
 
I have a newer Redneck with the new window latches. I installed awnings before I set it out, with the awnings on, it doesn’t leak. I got a new blind because last one the floor warped and the ceiling bubbled up bad, only a year old. They replaced no questions asked. If your gonna be using blind for bow hunting, due to the window sizes and how they open I would stay away from Redneck.
 
Assembled a mobile wagon blind for a guy today. He already had the blind. It was new in October 2025 so less than a year old. Its a 360.

Personal opinion... total junk.

Wood frame. Chip board side walls that are stapled. Caulk already showing signs of failure. Windows dont really seal.

They look cool and I like the concept but no chance id ever buy one based on materials and construction.

I have a few Rednecks, one Banks and and a few Titans.

The Rednecks are easily the best of the three for me. The Banks leaks everywhere and the OSB floor is warped from all the water. The Titans are junk and I'd never spend another dollar on them. More flies inside them than any of the rest, easily.
Have some flies in the rednecks and small window leaks but no damage or lasting issues. It's interesting to have such different experiences than others here.

My hunting buddy is pissed we wasted money on Titans (they were 1st Gen). My Banks is older too, probably 2018 era. Rednecks started buying in ~2020.
 
I have one. Very very nice. But, as I mentioned earlier mine arrived with no shelves, no window blinds, no lighting, no 4 x 4 pockets on the blind if you want to build your own tower, had to buy them for hundreds etc. Keep in mind you can’t simply buy 4x4 elevators(pockets) online for cheap. Grizzly welds a flat plate on each corner of the blind with holes matching their flat plated elevators. I build my own tower. They nickel n dime you for things that should be included.

Windows leak like crazy. Floor warps. Fiberglass cracks in corners. Window gaskets (foam) degrade and 9 million flies get it. Winder operation requirea alot of movment and locking in a sting. And if it ever hits ground its guaranteed falling apart.

Have had a rotomolded blind blown 100 yards by a derecho and was completely fine.
