    Sounds like it's a wait and see for any potential buyers. They still don't have the MS 150 in stock. Must be an uncommon saw.

    I picked up a Jonsered 2253 from Terry Landrum at Wicked Saw Works for a ridiculous price (shipped from Tn).

    The 2253 is a Husq 550xp (auto tune and same class as 261) but dressed in red and black instead of orange and grey. The 550 has been said to have more bottom end grunt than the 261c m. Would be much cheaper than the $600 for a 261.

    Unless your stuck on the looks of Stihl?

    Do you close your eyes while you're cutting?

    Heck no. I have a healthy level of fear.
