I paid 450 for my last 2.

Ya, like the 660,&650Dealers here say no more available, they were discontinued due to being so close to the 261 both power and cost wise.
Thats the lowest price I have heard of yet.My saw shop says they are still available for order.

That's right the 261 is blocky compared to a 241 .Last two places I went in did not have the 241.
But the closest place to me had one on the shelf last time I went in there a couple of months ago.
Didn't remember the 241 being a large saw. From what I remember it looked pretty nimble.
But the 261 I looked at today looked kinda big just sitting there.
My Echo 490 seems to be more compact.
That's what I thought.That's right the 261 is blocky compared to a 241 .
Happened to stop by the dealer today, he had a 241 for $529. He said it's not being discontinued and assured me that he will sell the one on the shelf and order in another like he always does...
Also had a 462 at $1,109.00
When i talked tomy dealer about the 241 i also inquired about the 462 price. he quoted me a price almost $150 less than yours. not sure on the exact specs on what he has.Happened to stop by the dealer today, he had a 241 for $529.

I really don't know what to believe at this point. Can Stihl be contacted and asked?The 241 is currently still showing in the 2019 dealer catalog, and has no special notes about anything.

I just called Stihl USA's official number and the guy I talked to said it is true no longer being made! Well I'm in for at least one right now.The friend I asked, is a Stihl technical instructor. I'll also email Wayne Lemmond at VA Beach. Lone Wolf, I'll post his response here.

Im not putting 261's down at all. A 241 I love for limbing and cutting small logs, the 261 shines in the bucking dept not limbing.They do??
