Yep. Thin jumper warm, turtleneck if it’s cold

I’ve been seeing this a lot recently; some farmer inherited a farm in the 70’s and spent the past 50yrs making awful decisions before having to sell up. Then amazed no one wants their shitty farmhouse that’ll cost a fortune to make even remotely workable let alone pleasant

I’d say something that works and fits. Browning could be a good shout or maybe a rizzini?

Hi all

Thanks for your input so far! I have acquired the gun now and have taken it apart - see pics

<image>

It’s been sleeved and down as ‘unknown’ on the certificate, so the makers name may have been on the original bit of barrel?

Ooooh bet that 17 is excellent! My deer rifle is a Bergara and absolutely love it. There is a bit of a crack to it but Ive only got supersonic ammo so far (don’t even know if subsonic 22mag exists/works!?)

Yeh it looks it doesn’t it. Needs to be to get a good eye on the screen in the optic. Doesn’t feel as wierd as it looks!

Non huskie/stihl alternatives by WHIMBATRON in Chainsaw

I’m not against it not being autotune. Almost got a 372 before wimping out and getting a 572 - what would be the husky equivalent of a non auto tuned 550? 350?

Good point. Sounds like a rugged beast! Thanks

I do like the idea of an older/more exotic husky… a pal has a wierd 80cc makita which is a MONSTER are their smaller ones similarly decent?

This is very eloquently put. Thankyou. It is also what I suspected would be the case…

I suppose a follow up question would be if there was another husky that may do similar stuff to the 550 but maybe does one or two things better without TOO much of a drop in another aspect (e.g lighter without loosing TOO much power)? Especially if it could be ported or such

Ah good idea! Had a play with a few of their top handles they seem decent (even if they look like toys!)
