Same here. Ordered 2 3-pks
6 chains...3 24s, 3 20s for under $70
I hope these guys start selling rolls…or, at least 3pks of other sizes.
28, 32, 36…
Hang tight, 28 should be up in a day or so I'm told. I have tried the 36 .050 so I know they exist. Not sure about 32s. I'll ask about rolls. I forgot to ask early this morning before they closed.

Great pictures. Looks like the V modest chain may have a slightly longer tooth for more sharpening life vs the Stihl chain.

In these pics stihl chain is the lower chain, vmodest is the top chain. One thing i notice in these pics is the kerf of the vmodest seems a hair wider than that of the stihl.

They look strikingly similar Bogie. Stihl RS is my favorite chain...but not the price. Haha

Based on current price of 72DL Vmod....puts a 100' roll around $190 ish..

The only real difference is I see between the two, is the stihl chain is stamped stihl and the mark for the cutter angle is etched on the stihl chain versus stamped on the V modest. Other than that, the oil retention dimples on the drive links are the same, the stihl presets work on it perfectly, even down to the portion where the drive links attach is 063, even when it's an 050 driver. They even stamped the cutter with a three, denoting 3/8 chain, and the driver links with a three, denoting 050 chain just like stihl would do.

And I agree, RS is pretty much the best chain out there, just not anywhere near the best price. 🤣 Hopefully the V modest chain lives up to the reputation of the RS chain at a lower price point.

Stihl dealer has the buy 2 get one free deal again IMG_20240529_134321.jpg

So that's 114.60 after 6% sales tax for 3 chains
48.99 a loop for regular stihl 84dl
My v-modest 3 pack 84dl .50 were 20.50
Is stihl about 5 times better?

I used to get any Stihl chain (except carbide) very reasonable. All 20 inch were $12, 24 inch were $14, 32 inch $18, and 36 inch for $20. That was 3/8 or .404 in any tooth design.

Yeah I miss those days.........
