I have mine in hand. I think it was three days order and came from Bryan Equipment as the distributor. Actually ordered Friday night and had it Tuesday. I payed $110-115 I think, don't remember for a 28" .50. I will try to get some weights,pictures and price later.

When did you order that? I'm only about 40-50 miles from Bryan and ordered mine just a couple days after this thread started. Mine is still on back order.
I'm trying to get a good price on a 28" .063 on the east coast. I don't like the guy saying he can order me one and then we'll see how much it will cost.
Am with you.
Cost is in my dealers book. MSRP was $144 for .063 28"

I can get the .050 gauge in:
28" for $112
32" for $120
36" for $124
Not all dealers are created equal. Mine was sent from heaven, LOL. I have two 28" on the way, will let you guys know how we like them.

The made in Germany may have something to do with it.
Not to many people are going to dish out double the money for one.
Stihl USA may not ordered enough thinking this.......but am only guessing.

Can you tell what Stihl has done to make it lighter.
Also is it made in U.S.

When did you order that? I'm only about 40-50 miles from Bryan and ordered mine two weeks ago tomorrow. Mine is still on back order, exact same bar you got.
I'd be curious to see how they do. The Oregon RW can be irritating in .50 gauge, flipping the saw too quick, throwing chains. .63 was a lot better for that.
If they're not as flimsy as the oregon like treeslingr says then they should be alright. I found a good deal on a 30" cannon that I might grab up while I can. I've went to .063 in everything over 24".
I know but the chains don't have a sloppy fit and the bar isn't flimsy at all. The oregon hasn't even worn one chain out yet and has .006" slop in the groove. The stihl es bar that has worn out I don't know how many chains before I got it only has .005".
Is the Oregon bar cutting crooked?
