    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.

    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...

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

    But flechette rounds, to make it sporting?

    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...

    Only in the south!

    Just about the time of year for them to get frisky. Right in time for turkey season.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Iiiinteresting. I've got a couple boxes of the 131 tipless SMKs laying around but I haven't loaded them in anything yet. The 134 ELD-Ms were pretty impressive out of my 25-7 and I didn't really step on the gas with them.

    https://sierrabullets.com/25-cal-131-gr-tipped-gameking-tgk/ Must be a website issue, I'm seeing it if you sort under .257 caliber. Edit: I think I see the problem. The .25 is a TGK, not a TMK.

    Interesting. Weird that Sierra hasn't published a BC for the 131TGK coming out next month. Wonder how it compares to the 116.
