    Im going by the on the shelf price here in Inverness! The Stihl dealer here is almost useless for parts. I have a Stihl 036 and use and reccomend Stihl strimmers over anything else Im running a FS450 just now and havnt found anything even close! Needed a bigger saw for a few jobs so bought a Makita DCS7900 £450, Awsome for the money strong and smooth great value so no real brand loyalty with me.

    Yes its been altered by a fair bit the inlet and exhaust ports are re-shaped and widened, The piston has been smoothed up, The transfers have been opened/flowed and the upper transfers opened towards the inlet port, The cylinder has been moved down to increase compression and the ehxaust has been opened up. Run it with a blunt chain or crap fuel and it will die quickly! But boy will it put a smile on your face to run! I would think that the PPE level would need to be uprated but im thinking it wont cut much faster than a well set up 372XP so that level should be fine.Not that i would ever want to test that theory!

    Thanks! The difference here is a 357XP is under £500 and a MS362 over £700!

    Its also to do with 4 port design over 2 port transfers. But the Stihl MS361 is a 4 port and keeps up or cuts faster than the similar Huskys. The saw in my vid is running an 8 pin sprocket so that ups the chainspeed but reduces the torque....But the improvement of porting means it can turn that chain faster. Maybe the Makita is running a bigger sprocket to make use of the torque from the 4 stroke?

    LOL you never know! The wheelclamp on the mesh trailer broke so i left it with just the Bradley hitch lock fitted and came home to find some guy with a 4x4 with my trailer sitting on the towbar! He thought it was abandoned lol. 2 locks and chained together now!

    As you can tell i have had 2 Seat Inca vans and now im down to 1 1/2 lol Great van but if i was to replace it i would be very tempted by the Renault Kangoo 15 DCi I had one hired for a few months and it was exceptional! I had a Transit connect as well and was not impressed, Not great on fuel the seats were like sitting on the road! And the passenger seat was only 3/4 the width of the drivers.

    Australian porn star! Actually bought one of the vids lol Done a few jokes by telling people i was in porn and showing them the DVD case with my name on it:thumbup:

    These look butchered in real life but even then they are not shaped very well and there a limb on one that is never going to come to anything and should be off. Not my work BTW! These were some nice Cherrys that could have just had the branches coming over the road trimmed. I cut the grass under them.

    Seiing as the Mlldot was mentioned heres the TDS4 i use, Similar idea seems to work really well 75 G hollowpoint in .243 with as much N160 that will fit in the case, That was a Pigeon lol
  12. ScotClayShooter
    Yep you can see holes in a 1000 yard target where the bullet has been sideways on going through the paper! the change from super to sub aint great! And i also have not had much luck with the .22 LR HV over 80 yards, Tight groups at 80 and 4" at 100!

    Last powder i bought was £40 a kilo for Vit N160 before that it was £26. When i priced doing .223 for my mate they worked out cheaper than buying 17HMR per 100 i think it was 21 p per round with Vmax and Vit powder. I think the semi is better in a group of rabbits as they dont seem to lock on to where the noise came from as it all happens together and they dont get a heads up with all the clicking of working a bolt action.

    I bat your wallet was empty as well! Just bought 1000 trap shells the other day for £155, I hope they are good as my usual shell is up to £195!!!!! 10,000 or so a year so its getting silly expensive! Handloads for the .243 are working out at £0.40 each so £8 for 20 as compared to £27 for 2 ready made.

    The face of the bolt has been ground down to minimum headspace and the trigger taken down to 2 1/4 lbs. It will shoot 3/4" 10 shot groups at 50 yards with Win subbies. Took it to the indoor range one night and off the bipod on 12 X mag i was clipping the 8 rings on a 20 yard target, We ran out of Win subbies and tried Tenex......You could decide what side of the dot on the bull you wanted to hit! 8" drop from 50 to 100 yards. I shot a Gull at 266 yards with it, aiming 7 foot above missed with the first shot but saw the splash and corrected:001_smile: But yes 60-80 yards is plenty then we use the 17HMR:thumbup:

    For the Ruger 10/22 grind 2 mags flat then araldite them together, Just flip it at any time and top up. You never lose the mag and all you need is a pocketfull of loose rounds. Ive not had any luck with the 25 round mags feeding subbies on my one.

    Yep first 2 widths in the way then turn around and always spray the clippings on whats been cut in ever decreasing circles with square corners BTW then when the ends get so its quicker to miss them out you miss them out. Once you do your first outside cut every second time only use half the width of the machine so it moves the tyre tracks as after a few cuts you can spot the tracks in the moss if you keep going over the same bit. If you have some waste ground on the outside of what your cutting, Cut out the way to start with.

    The guy that did those vids also did vids with .325 to compare in the same wood. O and Timberwolf probably knows more about saws then everyone on this site put together,l Go check out some more of his vids, timberwolfsaws on youtube.

    LOL you might just be right! I used to have a Husky 455 rancher with 3/8 and a 20" bar now that was a slow process! And yet much faster than my mates Husky 350 with .325.

    The 260 will be fine with the 3/8" chain on those lenths of bar. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U5wA5Bu3kg]YouTube - Stihl 026 stock 375 chain[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JKtFNcO0aA]YouTube - Stihl 026 3 cuts smaller wood[/ame] As for having to add 2 links you can always grind a little off the heel of the bar so the chains will fit. Wider kerf but less teeth in contact with the wood. Its only going to cost the price of a rim sprocket kit or maybe just a rim to try it out. Heck if it lacks a little power a muffler mod will fix that.

    Mine was free:001_smile: cost me a piston, starter spring and a rope. I did wonder when you pulled me up for it being 500 rpm low lol The 254 is a decent saw, Most of the Huskys run only 1 ring so show low compression quicker than the Stihls with 2 but £10 for a new ring can have them running like a champ again. 1 ring = less friction = faster saw

    The adjustment is so limited that mine will start with the screws in any position. It runs so rich that it will randomly burst into 4stroking at any time. Is the choke fully closing?
