I can get a MS361 with a 20" bar out the door for $630.00 bucks. I have not priced around yet, so i thought i would ask everyone what they had to say.
What do you think 630 bucks?

Sounds like
MSRP. Glad I was able to jump on the 7900 bandwagon for $659.

You can probably do a little better than that if you have cash money in hand, but the price is fair. It's basically list price. All these Dolmar guys talking high about their 7900's gotta try one, but the ms440's are supposedly a stronger saw with .6hp less according to those who have run them both.

Sure, but if the 7900 is huge overkill, it is also overweight fot the job at hand....

13.6 lbs and 6.3 hp, versus 12.3 lbs for the 361 not much of a difference
About right
That is the same price my dealer will sell me one for. I have seen the number $600 batted around the forum, but that may be a "good buddy" deal.

I wouldn't spend $600.00 on anything without shopping around some. About a year ago I spent an afternoon on the phone and found prices ranging from $552.00 to $609.00 The guy that offered $552.00 was only about a mile from where I work and has turned out to be a good dealer.

When I bought my new in box 7900 PHO I weighed it. It crossed the scale at 14 lbs 7 ounces.
I'm not sure where Dolmar got their weight but I would say that they are consistantly about a pound heavier than they admit. Do they take off the clutch cover, sprocket etc... to get it down?
7900 is a wicked saw, big, not too heavy, but not much of a limbing saw.
361 is my "go to" saw.
Have I mentioned I just picked up a 440? We'll just have to see were it sits in my rapidly expanding selection.

I've got MS361 with 20" bar for 609$ plus tax at my shop, so 630$ out the door seems right.

Full list is 599.95 so I assume your paying full list plus tax. YOU CAN DO BETTER on the price but NOT ON THE SAW, the 361 is a goodie.

Men, women, kids...........Heck, the Husky guys even run 'em.
Really, are you serious, ya dayumm right they do, look at Sawtroll,LOL
BTW 2000 if ya get one there's a very easy muffler mod you can pull on that saw that is very mild but the saw wakes up quite nice with it without alot of noise,hint hint..
