That's it. I'm sold.
Oregon haven't been what they used to be. Light weight are to limp for me. I give up on Oregon bars
Stihl ES are good. Bad experiences with their lightweights.
Cannon are phenomenal. But to darned heavy for me, maybe I'm getting to be a bit of a wimp.
GB titanium, are fair at best in my limited use.
Haven't tried any others to speak of.
These checker board bars, take a beating and keep on going. The rails are tougher than anything, on par with and probably a sneezle better than Cannon, I do like Cannons belly though. Even when abused I don't have cause to say anything bad about them. There is a guy on the site here that sells them, decent price I think, and a very very good guy to work/deal with. I got my first one from a guy in town that was selling out. Got the next two from the guy on the site. Just ordered 3 more. Only down side I can see is the tips, the do wear a bit quicker than I expected from the way the rails wear, but nothing at all to sneeze at either.
So long as I can get my hands on them, my saws will be wearing these bars.
After reading this I wish I had some stock in the company, pretty good commercial huh?
Kidding aside, if you're looking for a good saw bar these are very good.
