New Saw for my birthday.
« on: November 11, 2011, 08:15:24 PM »

  I bought a new Stihl MS 261 today. My birthday isn't for another 3 weeks but since I'm also a veteran I told my wife I'm getting it now, it is Veterans Day. Tomorrow I will see if it was a good choice.

So far I like it  :), it don't cut as fast as my 044 but then it weighs a couple pounds less. I think for wood under about a foot dia it will be my choice.
