Currently at 170,000 miles on 3.5 Eco boost with no problems and regular maintenance.
Also, turbo'd tucks in the mountains are a dream to drive.
Never go over 3,000 rpm since all the torque is down low.
V8 torque is all at high RPM.
Rode with a buddy recently and his was screaming at 5,000+...
I got two pairs of these. I wear them in my every day boots and hunting boots.

Copper bullets like velocity. So going a little lighter with a good amount of powder helps. 280ai with 140gr or 270 with 130gr or 30-06 with 150gr or less.

Just listened to episode 39.
Can Stocky's inlet the ROK stock for the Kimber 84M & 84L action?
There are many owners of these rifle on Rokslide and I'm sure we could get a initial group buy going to make it worth their time.
Look into hand loading and powder choice when going with a short barrel.
Factory ammo in my 19'' 280ai with 168gr goes ~2620 fps MV.
Handloads in my 19'' 280ai with 168gr and IMR 7828 SSC ~2940 fps MV.
Consistent sub MOA groups, and no signs of pressure.
I'm selling my Crispi Attiva's in size 10.
I've had them for 3 years, but haven't worn them for the last 2 since all my hunts are during cold weather.
These do not have Gore-Tex and breath very very well for hot weather.
Asking $150.
Local Pick up in Colorado Springs CO for free, or buyer pays...
Walk down to their camp prior to season start and ask them to not take that route, as for the last few years you've watched them drive deer away. Depending on how they respond, then you respond accordingly.
I just got back from Africa, and used a 24'' barrel 270 Win with 145gr ELDX Precision Hunter ammo for plains game.
In two weeks of hunting I was able to gather alot of data. It would take about 7 years worth of hunting out west for the same sample size.
I will never be buying ELDX ammo again...
