I started a thread a couple days ago asking whether I should buy a Stihl 038 Magnum or a Tikka T3 in 6.5 x 55. Well, I've since found out the 6.5 T3 is no longer available so that dilemma is over. But in talking with the guy about his 038 Mag it turns out he also has a Homie Super 1050 Auto. I've done a search on AS and both have gathered lots of good reports and carry a fan following. Also, they're both close to the same money--not cheap enough that I'm inclined to buy both, as many of you will doubtless suggest. He says both are in great shape, good runners, with the chain on the 1050 "like new" and "hardly used" and it appears in photos that the bar has more original paint on it than the 038 bar--as an indicator of use.
I thought I'd poll the helpful AS peanut gallery before I go look--probably tomorrow.
What say you, guys? 038 or 1050?
Thanks in advance,
Olyeller
