    The 242xp turned 15k out of the box. The 254xp is 14k. I’m a fan of the 2 series design and simplicity along with their high strung demeanor.

    I'll buy one in a heartbeat if I find one locally. I'm a 40-45cc sreamer fan. It's why the 241 and 543xp are in my collection.

    That 246xp looks like a good one too. I assume the predecessor to the 346xp.

    Whoa ...
    This is a serious violation of the FHC code of conduct that requires multiple charges to be charged to you.
    #1 mentioning Stihl in a Husky thread
    #2 is serious and possible to get multiple violations in accordance with the crime committed.
    shhhhh ...maybe no one will notice. Don't ever mention Echo in a Husky Stihl crossbred" thread.
    Thats a triple wammie !

    It's not mono-saw-gamy.

    :rofl: :lol:

    I mean most of us have a couple of saws that get left on the shelf at home while the other saws get to go out and make chips. :yes:

    Every time i see one i think of my late fathers Mac. Fond memories of being a kid and cutting wood on Sunday' with him and my uncle. I forget what model it was but circa late 1960's.
