661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[HuskStihl]

I dont like how dry things look inside after a few weeks of downtime with the 2r ...................... maybe I was seeing things

My 2r hasn't even arrived yet, and now I'll have to pitch it.

Hoping someone else would notice the same thing ........................ try it and see for yourself, then post up your opinion/findings after letting it sit a few weeks !!

Have to look inside, not through the exhaust
I ran it with VP SEF

Well done with the pics, with the top two there isn't much chance of heavy recoil coming from those small calibre rifles with no barrel swell forward of the breech & giving anybody a black eye, not really comparing apples with apples is it, the 3rd one is mounted high because of the size of the scope but not mounted rear wards much at all , when taking into consideration the ill fitting rear scope cover. The example in question was a gun with a medium recoil, high mounted scope easily clearing all seen obstacles by 25mm or so & mounted exceptionally rearwards, which is not very common anywhere & easily spotted as being uncommon.

Randy would be the one to ask as he has been using it for several quarts now. Mine didnt look any different than r50

why doesn't everyone run castrol super 2 stroke? it's stihl ultra only half the cost. i ran it for damn near 1o years at 32:1 before i joined AS. that said, i like lucas even if they are known for other ****** oils. i think their 2 stroke oil is down right acceptable.

What about castrol TTS as well, it's recommended to be run at 50:1, and it is available in 20 litre containers for those who need bulk purchases for high use.

You beat me to it. I highly value a saw builders opinion especially when they know the history of the saw.

i highly value real world forestry workers opinions. cookie cutters only know what the label tells them and way overthink oil.

Weed-wakker .......... saws sit for months

Yup, I've seen what rocket surgeons some of our local loggers are..... bending the bar to change chains , running with no air filter " cause it cloggs up too quick", running crap fuel with crap oil...... etc.... yep, regular NASA guys....

What I was getting at is despite all the abuse their saws last. If a guy here blows up a saw he either straight gassed it or it was an old wore out saw when he got it. I doubt anyone here has ever had a failure related to the oil they were using especially when doing what they do best..... Cutting cookies.

I agree, Probably true. I don't think I will ever wear out my saws for the most part unless I screw something up or the rubber parts just give it up from time served.

I have seen many euro guns like that and in calibers as big as 375 h&h. Not uncommon at all and partly driven by their preferable for large objective scopes.

My buddy that won State in 600 yd prone using Nosler brass would disagree. It's extremely consistent.

Very consistent because it's sorted, but IME low on capacity and soft.

Most of the saws yous we on this website look new.....like they are rarely used.

I have heard from a reliable person that it's good stuff.

Because it smells like ****, just like ultra.

Fyi I've been running Yamalube R2 for the past few weeks. Burns clean aka almost no smell. However it doesn't cling to metal like the esters do and it's too thin for my taste. I'm going back to Motul 800 @50:1 in my blowers and trimmers, my saws will continue to see k2 or R50.

I personally will never try the Lucas oil. Too thin, it's injector oil IMHO.

Residual oil is a indication of oil ratio.... never had a problem with it not clinging.

My wood stock Weatherby mark V with a krieger#5 contour has never shifted. I've hunted in rain with no issues. I also have a McMillan HTG stock. It's super tough. I have another custom wood stock (AA black walnut) on a 22 rimfire squirrel rifle with a match Broughton barrel. Zero shifting issues.

Your lucky.
