Ah , thought is was the regular RS ,

RS pro is old name is also just 23RS now too unless you find old stock. Shown on my echo above too 23RS is the old pro so it confuses folks.

Try this new C33 Xcut full chisel if your like the SP33 semi.

I just ordered some to try out to compare to the 23RS old name was 23RS pro.

Timed cuts by local racer was 9% slower but that is do to 058 at top of drive links giving hair wider kerf on it's 050. Where the new stihl is true 050 at top of DL on it's 050 chain.
He also said the C33 felt like it wanted powerful saws to it's liking

C33 was on the winning ported 550xp at sawfest this year untouched out of the box. Last year newer 23RS was winner. But they said the wood hungry.

Pic is my 23RS on my echo.

How does that hold up in dirty wood? Its pretty rare that I am cutting anything that isn't pretty dirty.

Here some more info showing. We had a thread on this in my group while back.

Evan shown the old RS left with the thicker 063 058 050 chassis to the RS pro which now just RS now too.. True 050 chassis to give it that narrower kerf.
Notice top plate narrower.

Couldn't tell ya. It's new. But you sound like you need semi then.

Thats definitely the driver of this whole dive down the rabbit hole. Semi works incredibly well for me, and I have a bunch on hand that is brand new. Not sure the exact count, but definitely at least a dozen chains. Most have never seen wood and are stored in a bucket of oil.

Yep we showed that too. Just not going to dig through the whole thread.
