    You’re wasting a lot of fuel if it smokes that much. That adds up to a lot of money real quick. I like to blow some smoke to but that’s just throwing dollars out the window.

    Yea i know, we've been throwing around the idea of twins. Still avg 6.8-7.0 across the board not really babying it.

    The early Vmac1 electronics are partly to blame. P7100 with electronic Gov so almost stop like the old mechanical. Once you get in it it clears up but pretty good.

    Too much ! The 315 tires I wanted they discontinued them. So I bought the best of the best Michelin X line $827 per tire. 4 yokes 275 for a trailer axle at $312 per.........so......with FET and mounting north of $3000. ....yeah it smarts ! I could of bought another brand of steers for $630 per but heard bad things bout them. They spun balanced the x line tires. One was perfect the other took 4 oz. Run out was as perfect as you could get.

    Ha! It’s hilarious you mention the stocks because for the life of me I can’t find a magpul that’s made to fit a left handed rifle and I’m looking at a McMillan a6 now; I’m buying a rifle that’s already ready to go out the box, but replacing the pos stock with a high quality one other than buying parts and either having to spend hundreds on tools to put it together myself, or hundreds to pay someone; I’m probably looking at about 2.5k for the gun, stock, bipod and scope; oh yeah it’s the 300 wm Remington 700

    If it's any consolation I pull my lift gate trailer with a grass burner and that's even dirty.
