I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles. You lose 15000 up front then get it back when you trade it in. Used diesels in Arizona demand a fortune. My dodge is worth more now then when I bought it.

TTT. Come up this weekend and we can go to the range so you can look through it!

What kind of maintenance are you doing that is costing you guys so much money?

Chevys are comfortable. I prefer solid front axle.

Contour?

Thats how I feelYou're a communist too Get over it

Thats how I feel

How you know where every tank is? You're gonna set a cam then walk in a quarter mile circle? I probably zig zag about a mile before I ever commit to a spot. Im also cheap and dont buy lock boxes so I have never put a camera on a water hole.

Range it, mark it on a gps and beat feat until your 440 yds.

Just dont put them on water. Seems easy enough.

If you are near Payson when you do your review you can throw my ats 65 in the mix for a cheaper alternative.

Whats your problem, bro?

Might as well save your pennies and buy something thatll range farther. Wont be long and you will be shooting out to a 1000.

Bump

Food for thought, without knowing your budget, there are plenty of guys on this forum with enough money to go to any builder in the country, and quite a few of them have multiple builds from Eric at Axisworks.

Anybody ever gone and hunted them?

I would kill an 8 goat.

If a bought a bonus point in Wyoming for antelope this year, is there a hunt next year I could guarantee a draw? I’m not looking for a trophy and I would like to buy some doe tags as well. Is that possible?

😳

Skip putting in for bonus points across the world and buy it.

Yes. Has zero stop, high speed turret, and capped windage. Call/text if you have anymore questions Cliff 928-978-5053

Lol

Forgot I had this going. To the top. Spend that tax refund!

Sounds awesome! Please keep us posted!

You even look the part! Man you have had some adventures! Where is a good place for rifle sitka that would be farther away from big asss bears?
