recommend a stihl model

So, I've run Huskies since the beginning. I've toyed with just giving a used Stihl a try. Can anyone recommend a model in the 50-70 cc range that would be a good used saw buy?

I would recommend a MS260 or MS261, if in good condition.

Lots of good choices. In the smaller end a 260 is good quality saw. 361 in the mid range. Good saw, better anti-vibe than the 036/360. 440 on the big end is a legend. I've read that the 441CM is a great saw but not likely to find one used, it's new. This is the m-tronic version, not the regular 441. I own a 260, 361 and 460. I probably grab the 260 the most because it's the lightest and is good enough for 80% of what I cut. If I could only own one of the 3 I have I guess I'd go 361 but I think a ported 440 might be the way I'd go if I could really only own one.

I'll trade you a 260 for the 346

That's a very kind gesture. But that may cost me my job.

how about an 026. is it any good?

These are the interesting stihls in the 50-75cc range IMO

026/260
034/036/360/361/362
044/440/441
046/460

I just bought a 460 today... Cant begin to tell you the smile it brings to my face..

I also own an 036. Its a fantastic saw too...

Every saw noted above is a good one. Whats your budget? ?

If it's light grey and orange and says STIHL on it, buy it...... I run vintage Stihls, and I love them like family. I have lots of saws, some in various stages of life and death, but I regularly run my old Stihl 72cc 041 AV Super. Lots of good power and torque, will run a 30 inch bar all day long, but it has no brake and it is heavier than the new ones. I will own a 460 or a 660 someday, my one buddy has both of those models and like Dexterday said, they will make you giggle when you run them . The 026 is pretty much the same as an MS260, if the one you are checking out is in good shape go for it.

$200 bucks today, maybe $350 by the end of the summer. But a smokin' deal is just that and is what makes the purchase worthwhile. If I'm at the right place at the right time therein lies the thrill.

Just one.

That is sad.

Yes it is. I guess one is better than none, though.......
