Coonans are really fine. Soooo much more than a 38 super. My daughters favorites are a Belgian Hi-Power and a High Standard Victor, the original ones. She takes whatever guns she likes from me. So far she takes the best.
I agree with losing a few pounds, however that doesn't do anything for the stress on your wrists, elbows, and shoulders from running a big saw with a long bar all day. Come on out west and I'll put you on a logging job cutting timber 6 hours a day on a full-manufacture production side and then we'll see what you have to say about a few ounces.

But that is a patent that was awarded to Sugihara and the Sugis are less flex prone due to more cross supports
The two bars are night and day,the Sugi's (I have 3) are almost as heavy as a Powermatch, while the Reduced Weight is much lighter. Besides, like mentioned the Sugi tips are junk and hard to find to boot, in my neck of the woods.
I have been running Reduced Weight's for bout' 6 years and have never touched anything else since. If tweaked they are easily fixed and the rails are tough like the Oregon Pro bars, not as soft as the Power Match.
Are the reduced weight Oregons made in the USA?

It is a pity they are not made in shorter lenghts, like 24" and 20".....:censored:
We have requested shorter lengths and they are looking into it right now. As for where they are made, the bodies are essentially "Oregon Pro" bars made in Guelph, Ontario. They are then shipped to Portland, Oregon where they are machined out and the aluminum is inserted. So, they are made both in Canada and the U.S.A. (As of this winter).

I just don't see paying twice the price and for a flexible bar.
They are indeed expensive, but not as flexible as many might think. Besides if tweaked, they are easily straightened.
I will never run a "lead" bar again.
I ran a 066 with a 36" Cannon for years, maybe that's why my back aches.
