brad, That was close to the same price i got also. It is alittle cheaper than a red. weight bar and mdavlee said the stihl felt stiffer than the oregon so i will have to call my dealer friday to order one. I am hoping that you will do a test (video of course) of this bar .

$145 ain't bad if they're a good bar.

 

[mdavlee]

Honestly if you didn't see the light on it you probably wouldn't know the difference. I wouldn't as far as flex.

I payed what Slamm listed in the thread earlier.

You beat me to it Brad. Mine is in and I will get it tonight. Question is what is the cost? Think I can get mine any cheaper? I say yes!

Ran my 044/28" ES RW just about all weekend. Very happy! Not much of a weight difference between it and the Oregon, big difference in stability, if that is the word I'm looking for. The Oregon is much more floppy and even though I never bent mine, they feel easy to bend. You don't have that with the Stihl. I would not turn a husky user away from the Oregon though. I do like Mdavlee's pic of the Jred with the Stihl bar though, atleast the Jred has one good part on it.

 

[mdavlee]

Hey now I wouldn't do that if stihl made a good feeling 70cc saw.:sword: If I had a oregon in 28" I would run it. The oregon rw I've got is a 32".

$106 out the door Brad.

$106 out the door Brad.

And the .050 guage replacement cost me $145

 

[Outlaw5.0]

The .063 only cost me $125.00.

 

[Gologit]

Anybody know the cost on a 36" ?.

 

[056kid]

Can you put a chain on the stihl without leaving a radius in the bar?

I never could on my 32'' oregon reduced weight. . im OCD when it comes to straight bars. . . .

Anybody know the cost on a 36" ?.

I just picked my 36" up Saturday from Madsen's for 143.95

 

[Meadow Beaver]

$144 isn't bad at all if it's more durable than the oregon light bar.

Finally got my 32" .063 in and it was worth the wait. Noticeably lighter than a regular ES and much stiffer than the Oregons I spun off.

Only bummer is my dealer charged $189. I crapped my pants! I can deal with a $10 here or there, but another $50 was a bear.

I bit my lip and took it but this dealer is never seeing another sweet cent of mine.

Anyone know of or want to become a competent, honest Stihl dealer in Northern Colorado?

 

[mdavlee]

Ouch that is high. I probably would have left it there and got it from another source.

 

[Cheese]

No other dealer, within an hour drive, had a clue that they existed. Thought about bailing, asked if they were serious and they said yeah.

Lesson learned.

 

[mdavlee]

I believe that price is way over msrp. I think the msrp is about $160 on it. It's in this thread somewhere.

 

[056kid]

For a cut & painted slab of metal, they should run well under 60.00 imo. . .

But its just like a barrel of crude is what 89.10 today, down from yesterday. ####. . .

 

[Slamm]

I thought the 32" was low $120's and the 36" was $125. I might have already posted the prices but I'm on my phone, and don't want to look back that many pages.
