    No, not married to the 372, and unfortunately, my memory is just fine.

    I think his original question might answer yours and is the purpose of his thread.

    "List the saw that you think has the least vibration or are they all the same with the AV mounts."
    Looking For: Suitcase weights and bracket for Case/Ingersoll 444.

    My 371 is the smoothest, followed by my 395 though just by a hair. All have spring mounts, I don't have any rubber on my big Huskies. 066 ain't bad but it just isn't as smooth.

    Not saying this because I'm a Husky/Jonsered guy, but the 576AT is by far the smoothest saw I've ever run, no contest. And I've run every Husky there is, all the Dolmars, and most Stihls. The first comment from everyone who runs a 576 is "Wow, that's really smooth". The new small saws like the 445 and 450 are also very smooth.

    The new Stihls. like the 441 and 362 are really nice, and for a loyal Stihl guy, they are a huge leap forward, so you're really going to like them.

    So far, the 441. Haven't had a chance to try the 362 yet, though I hear good things about the a/v, I look forward to it. I didn't think the a/v stuff would be a big deal, then I got the 441 and I'm a convert.

    MS660..... Any saw with more than 36" of bar buried in an oak log or a giant redwood is smooth as butter in my book.... Hey, even the 090 and SP125 are smooth when pulling .404 chain on a 6 ft. bar in a redwood stump!

    MS660, 036, MS200T - Royal Family
