I have a 2023 ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi in it. A year out of your range, but still the same engine.

It's got 70,000 miles on it and does great. Just maintenance regularly like any other vehicles. I remember when I bought mine, it was talked up to be a very reliable engine, but some of the things inside were made a little cheaper to keep costs down. Personally I'd rather little knick knack things be wrong than an engine failure which is why I went with it.

I know multiple people with Chevy's from the same time period that complain. Guy in my office just replaced his 2019 (I think) silverado transmission for the second time.

Honestly, you're playing a bit of russian roulette with any truck nowadays. Even Toyota is having issues with reliability, however they do seem to be the most proactive about fixing issues. GM might be the worst at this. They like to do widespread special coverage programs for certain engine issues instead of a recall that fixes the components.

I wanted to get a nice setup before I have kids and start feeling guilty about spending too much on my toys.

This is 99% the reason I budget shop and don't buy often :lol:

Two girls under 2 take most of my time and money

You’re the reason I started looking at the Trijicon

I've got a few hundred dollars burning a hole in my pocket. I think I've decided I want to get a new scope for hunting.

Budget is right around $500 or so. I hunt with a .308. For deer hunting. We hunt a lot of power lines. I'd say a majority of our shots are 100-200 yards, some more, some less.

I've looked at the Trijicon Huron, some Leopolds, and Burris online.

I've also read some of y'alls suggestions on previous threads, but I've hunted all of my life with the cheapest scopes possible. Either the cheap ones that come on a gun when you buy it, or just some $100 scope I found. Those have worked just fine and haven't caused any problems, so those who have actually spent money on scopes let me know what I've been missing :lol:

Let's go! Huge news!

bullshite, no way you cut 12 acres a week at your house.

I have personally witnessed my father in law cut 15-20 acres a week for 10+ years. It can be done with a full time job.

You just have two full time jobs, work and cutting grass :lol:

This is such an insane round going right now

I'd prefer the Kawasaki engine.

+1 for Kawasaki engines. My dad just let me have his 18 year old scag with a Kawasaki in it. Engine still going strong with about 1500 hours on it, maybe 1700 I can't remember off the top of my head

Southern outfitters in Zachary has a nice indoor range. I don't think it goes to 70 yards though, I want to say it's 60.

Dang, thought ruckert got enough of that

fastball down the dick
