Thanks Ron,
the trunks fell pretty near perfect with no rope or wedges, and that's the result that matters most to me.

Norm,
I'm swapping back and forth from a 24" to a 32" bar on that 385 and that seems to be a great pair for the work I'm doing. Most of the trees only need the 24" but there are a few that are easier with the 32", and there are a few on the "smaller" end that I'll use my 362xp with the 20" bar. :msp_thumbup: Here's some pics from yesterday and today.....

[NORMZILLA44]

Is that a new saw young buck?

 

[Youngbuck20]

I can only assume. Saw it in TSC (farm store) didn't think Remington made anything but guns. They also sell a pleather of wild things...

Norm,
it really has saved me a lot of work, and I know if I take good care of her she's gonna save me a lot of work for years to come.....:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good deal youngbuck, that's what I was trying to figure out mew in store, or old saw new in box. Got it buddy Yeah they used to have a lot of saws, can't remember if they made em don't think so, but they had there brand anyway. Did not know they were still around saw wise. Gun wise I love em! Randy I agree that 385 will last a long time!

 

[Youngbuck20]

Ya they make a hell of a shotgun! It looks as though its aimed towards a weekend warrior type. 51cc is a lot of saw to throw around in the hands of an uneducated person.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I agree my friend, on both:msp_thumbup:

Remington also made electric saws, prolly still do. The old man had one when I was a kid, he never owned a circular saw. He cut everything with the Remy. Wasn't a bush person anymore, and he had his share of saw work before the day of the multi-processing head and feller buncher. He ran chain saws for years, felling for the logging company.

The shotguns are great, but the rifles are outstanding ! I shot this group with a new 770, first box of ammo....

That's 3 rounds - yes, 3 - at 100 yards. After the 2nd shot I knew right away that I poked the same hole, and had a hard time to settle down for the 3rd shot... I was giggling too much ... it might have been much closer than it was ! It ended up a tad low & left, but close enough cover the group with a dime !

Nice shootin' Denis, what'd you use, open sights, peep sights, or scope? :dunno:
(my brother got his buck last week, his son got his buck today.....)

Remington used to make their own chainsaws for a long time, they bought out Mall back around 1958 and built saws at least through the 70's maybe later. They even built a few large gear and direct drive logging saws. I do have a Remington 870 that is getting the Zombie treatment, and I have a few different barrels for it, 26 inch, 18 inch, and a 20 inch rifled.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice shooting indeed Denisuttahere2: Jim great info on the remington saws, I did not know that. I have a old bolt action remington .22, and a 30-06 pump 7600 gamemaster, my favorite rifle ever.

Norm I can't do this upcoming Saturday (12/01), but I'm open for the next couple Saturdays (12/08 and 12/15) as well as most Sundays. Keep me in the loop.

All you "working men" have a safe week. :msp_thumbup:
.....time to make coffee and get ready for work.....

Scope, Norm. The relatively cheap 3x9x40 that came with the gun. It works ok, but past 200 yards it isn't big enough, even at 9x zoom. Ideally I'd have a 4x12, for the extra accuracy at long range.

Congrats to your brother and nephew !
