    325 puts you nearly in the range for professional grade 40-45cc chainsaws. That Zomax won't cut it. No pun intended. If you look it up on the interwebs, they are chinese.

    That is very expensive, they are retailing in most hire and hardware for 280 Euro, that is the smallest one zm4010 model with 15 inch Oregon bar, in my opinion for an occasional user they are fine, they are the best of the bad lot, the 4010 is under 5kg fierce light saw getting an Oregon chain and bar is not so bad, ideal fire wood saw, they were on eBay for 250 which was good value.

    There's an 024av, 026, and an 034 Stihl in the done deals for less than that Zomax, and they are twice the saw that is, even used.

    Then there's:

    New yes, not s/h. You will pick up a serious s/h pro saw for 325 or less. eg. above

    Very hard to get a good saw new or second hand in that price range. Even with husky or stihl a lot of bad reports on some of their entry saws.

    Second hand, you have to ask are you buying trouble, why is he selling etc. You'd want to know your stuff.

    I got an ms 250 at an auction for 300, they are normally 500ish.

    Unless you can get a deal spend on a decent saw, 500 plus, or just buy a lidl one and work the warranty.
