Sunray Lines and Leaders
Anyone messed with these? https://sunrayflyfish.com/en-us They look pretty interesting but can’t tell whether it is just marketing or actual quality. Hoping @devon deer may have some experience. Looks like he’s practically neighbors with them.- Sheltowee

Investigative Journalism
ProPublica (https://www.propublica.org/) is generally thought to be the best in the business when it comes to investigative work. Don't sleep on your local journalists either. Seattle Times and KING-TV are well-regarded outlets in your neck of the woods. KING won three very prestigious Edward...- Sheltowee

What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.

What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.
According to Reddit, so, you know, a trustworthy source, T-Rex's were about 25% larger than an adult African elephant. Assuming a Rex exhibits muscle spasms long after brain death (like a gator or a snake), I don't think you'd want to be at the bad breath distances usually associated with an... -

Tell me about fly fishing
Lot folks will connect a short length of tippet to the leader, then the fly. Keeps you from chopping down expensive leaders. Now my question: how often are y’all changing out lines and leaders? Every year?- Sheltowee

For sale: custom LH Defiance 25-06
I'm damn tempted to jump on this even though the bolt is backwards. Haven't added a 25-06 to the quarterbore stable yet. -
Another tikka tinkering project
I'm running 20" on my 25-6.5. Either way, a TMK doing 3100 ought to be hell on anything you stick in the ribs with it.- Sheltowee

Hunting Rifle Triggers
Nearly all of my hunting rifles are Tikkas with OEM single-stage triggers. I try to keep them all in the roughly 3lb range for consistency from rifle to rifle. Trigger Tech just introduced two new Tikka-compatible triggers that are pretty intriguing, though. The only exception is my CZ 550...- Sheltowee

Another tikka tinkering project
I would guess you have plenty of speed to go if you really want to step on them. My 25-6.5 gets a tick under 3500 with H1000 under the 95gr. Hammer HHT. The 6mm 89gr. Hammer HBC has a similar BC to the TMK and you'd probably easily be in the 3600 range, if you are so inclined. Hammer's 104gr...- Sheltowee

Pistol carbine suggestions
If you already carry a Glock 10mm, I'd go with the Ruger at your price point. On many of the Glock fanboy forums, there is rumor of a Glock PCC (and has been for years). I wouldn't hold my breath but I'll be the first in line to buy one if they hit shelves. -
Pistol carbine suggestions
Big fan of my CZ Scorpion but maybe a touch above your price range. The Ruger PC9 with the M-lok handguard looks vaguely like a PPSh-41, so added cool pointers there. Most of GunTube is hot and heavy over the new Springfield Kuna (check out HonestOutlaw's review, for instance) but I've not...
