28”-30” lightweight bar for a 661?

[Justin542]

Hey guys, looking for a 28” or 30” light bar for a MS661. I know Oregon used to have a 28” light/replaceable nose that everyone said was a good bar but apartently they’re discontinued?
36” on the saw now and I don’t need that much bar on it after cutting up a few 100’ oaks in the yard that were the diameter of the bar easily.
New to the site. Thanks in advance.
Hope everyone and their families are staying safe through all of this going on in our country right now.

Tsumura Light and Tough seems to be good value. I like my 28”.

I was going to say Tsumura Light and Tough.
It seems to be a great bar from what I hear from other sawers.

I got about 4 gallons on a tsumura L/T w/ next to zero wear on the rails. I hit the rails w/ a flat file yesterday but it didn't really need it, the burrs were microscopic.

If money was no object, I'd suggest the Cannon lightweight bar. Duralite I think they call it.

Personally though, I'll keep buying tsumuras because they're about 40% the price of a Cannon.
