They’re not easy to find here either and when you do no one wants to sell them. It’s a from my warm dead hands kind of thing.

That’s more or less my problem now being a part time/ full time firewood guy. If you’re on a good bush you’re so busy felling, bucking and hauling a lot of stuff isn’t getting split until spring so I’m losing a fair amount of good wood like sugar maple and beech to rot.

I’m good there. Damn near all I can get is narrow kerf RS pro. It won’t see a big load, I just like to keep chains the same dl and pitch when I can

How well are 241’s regarded? Will they pull .325 and oil it? I don’t have much of any experience with the smaller saws

Most winters here prohibit processing firewood unless you’re cutting the tree down, bucking, splitting, etc that day. Talk about cabin fever. What blows my mind is how many people I know who start cutting this years firewood right about now, from truck to stove.

As I process wood through the year I stack all my firewood in Ibc cages that I use as end pieces on sale wood stacks. In the summer I empty all the totes that have been full for a year or more and put them in the wood shed. I’ve been trying to get 2 years ahead for years now but it’s hard to...

Cord and a half of spruce? this afternoon. I’m curious to see how long it takes to season and how it will burn in the stove. Hot and fast with no coals is my guess

Not much firewoodin left to do here. This was the remains of 3 truck and pup loads I got last October. Now I have room for about 20 ish cord from the bush.

I had a gorgeous bsa 222 that someone had “free floated” it shot horribly. A good friend of mine shimmed the forend for good contact/ support and that rifle is now a favourite for walking the fields. If it shoots good now don’t touch it, I’ve yet to see an axis that shot poorly.

My 94 carbine has always liked 170 grain best, super X specifically, corelockt is good too. It doesn’t group 150 grain blue box federal it patterns them. Other brands of 150 isn’t horrible just 170 is better. My Canadian centennial shot everything very well

No it doesn’t. Not a huge difference but enough.

I also really like it. Seems to hold an edge good but takes to the file alot nicer than RS. The factory grind also bore cuts extremely smooth in my experience. If I can get it priced similar to RS by the case I’ll pick a couple up

I went back and swapped my still new loop of sp33 for whatever they call full chisel. Looks nice, no safety raker, probably give it a try tomorrow night. Lions fan- the tops I'm working aren’t bad for dirt and crap, all cut with a processor in the winter. I can’t remember the last time I saw...

In .325 23 rs pro is my go to. But my local Stihl shop was on back order. So I bought 2 loops of sp 33 from the husky dealer, I didn’t specify full chisel but I should have. I won’t be buying any more of it, 3 tanks in and I like nothing about it. Slow and rough cutting, exactly the opposite...

I’ve been getting a little bit of firewooding done. Log piles gone now, started another bush, following a processor and picking the tops/ cull logs
