Stihl. Nothing smaller than a 261 unless it's an arborist's saw.
A mans got to know his limitations.

Don't take this the wrong way but $500 is a lot of money for a weekend project saw. Now, if your going to foresee years of moderate to heavy use, sure, no problem. The assumption you don't already have a saw tells me it's a weekend (or two) type thing and no other real use.
Now if this is an excuse to buy a very nice saw to add to the collection...well then....knock yourself out!

Ive got an echo cs-352 w/ a 16 in bar that worked like a champ cutting up a huge oak that fell at the lake this past weekend. Ran it for about 5 hours straight. Only thing I had to do was refuel and add bar oil.

I have a Stihl 044 that my dad bought used around 1990 and it still starts on the third pull every time. I wouldn't own anything other than a Stihl in a chainsaw, trimmer or blower. I have a Husky at the farm that stays broke most of the time.

If you don’t wanna buy one I’ll let you borrow mine. It needs to be used. But I prolly already know the answer to that......🙄

Or throw in a couple more 100s and just buy a new one, It'll be a one and done purchase. Minimum I would go would be a Stihl MS260. I’ve got a 362. With a good sharp chain, that thing will sure enough eat.

I’ve got a Husky Rancher 455 and thoroughly enjoy it...if there is such a thing....it has a 20 inch bar and cuts the stew out of some wood.... but it’s a workhorse....after cutting all day it makes you sleep on your side of the bed at night.. Have the same saw. Been happy with it
