I've got a Chinese 660. It's done a bit of milling, a bit of felling larger trees and a bit of firewood. No major issues, just the starter chord mechanism is a bit soft. Oil cap can undo itself unless tightened with a combi spanner. I don't do a lot with big trees anymore so didn't want to spend £1000ish on a proper one. It is considerably more powerful than my mates old and tired Stihl 660.

I use saws mainly for firewood and carving, my go to saw for the last few years for firewood has been a modern day McCulloch cs410 elite, which has been absolutely faultless, yes it's a bit slow and underpowered, but used within its capabilities and it's a brilliant little saw. However, I have got a makita dcs9010, which I bought to do some milling, which although it doesn't get much use I would fully recommend over a cheap Chinese saw, mainly due to how cheap the makita can be bought for compared to to stihl.
