Hell thats the ticket right there. But break out the skeet again. I got a full box on top the fridge that need to be shot.

7900 sounds awesome to me. I'd even buy one and try to port it myself. :msp_thumbup:

395 would be cool too. So I vote 395/7900 either/or/both.

I guess I could live with a 7900 build... But I ain't sure I could bring myself to molest a perfect wood cutting machine... But after running a few modded ones this weekend, I could be persuaded.... Maybe...

I'm in the big saw camp.......little saws don't turn me on too much. I would like to see the Husqvarna 395XP as the next saw we all build.

If you guy's would decide to do a 395...I'd be willing to donate my 395 with only three tanks of fuel ran through it since I bought it a few weeks ago to this Randy guy that wears a red bandanna. He seems to know what he's doin with the 395 or 660 or 346 or...well you guys get the idea!

I think I could talk my wife into getting me a 7900 with the help of some of you fine folk here. She doesnt think I "need" one. Now how am I supposed to go cut wood with just my old 064,440,460,020,290,041,075,346,272,2101 and others. I DO "need" a fully ported/modiffied 7900 if I am expected to get the wood to heat the house and keep her all warm and snuggly.

Thats it. I had to jump in before he brought home another one & gave me those puppy dog eyes & said but but but- can we keep it? Look at it...it's ADORABLE. If anyone's getting a modd'd 7900, dangit, I think we know who its gonna be...:drool:

What about something different? Strato's looks like they are here to stay, so what about them. Maybe a 441, 372xt, or a 576?

I vote for the stihl ms 362. Two reasons why are because with all the changes in emissions, etc. all these builders may wanna discover new ways to tweak these strato engines. The other reason is because ALMOST everybody has a use for one and would all be starting with the same blank slate.:msp_tongue:

I wouldn't be opposed to a strato saw build. The 441 would be my choice though.

395 would be nice. I could probably supply someone with a 395. I say nay on the 028 though. There's no need
to go backwards here. That's like showing up to a modern BMX race with your banana-seat Schwinn.

:hmm3grin2orange:(never did like a banana seat Schwinn, and never could afford one anyhow!):hmm3grin2orange:
