Any Affordable Tree Stand / Saddle Recommendations?

[PSU Cosmic]

I'm a new hunter who is in the process of gathering gear. I'll start hunting whitetails next season. I believe that tree stands or saddles are pretty much the norm for hunters, so I'm looking to get some recommendations. Affordable to me likely means around $500 max for the whole setup. I can't buy anything right now, given Christmas and all, I'm just interested in gathering information while I save up. I'll be hunting public land, and I don't know what the deal is with tree stands (such as if you're allowed to leave them out for modern rifle season, if they're frequently stolen, etc.), but I've heard a lot of good things about saddle hunting (although most of what I've read involves bow hunting, and I'll be using a rifle). I'm open to either option and just looking to get whatever info I can from you experienced hunters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got this complete saddle setup in the classifieds. The two times I used it were with a muzzleloader.

I started putting this kit together November 2021 and then never used it. During this year's muzzleloader season I tried it 2 times and it's not for me so no sense in holding onto it.
