    I've always been a fan of this chain. I still have a 50' roll of Oregon but at that price it's VERY tempting!

    How does this compare to stihl 33rs? I have never seen Husqvarna chain.

    50 feet sounds like you are almost out
    Might as buy the husky chain while it’s on sale

    IME Stihl has a slight advantage on the X Cut in holding an edge. But I still like the Husky chain, especially the price point.

    I agree. The (retail) price of Stihl loops is just ridiculous. C83 seems fine in my limited experience. I got the rakers too low on one of my 16” loops and it is miserable. No fault of the chain, just looking for a little sympathy lol

    It’s all good we all cut our rackers to low but we learn from it
