Some rifle obligatory rifle pictures.

308 certainly recoil more than 22lr, but getting better at controlling recoil. Added the adjustable butt pad which definitely helped, had to wait for replacement parts from the UK though as the adjustable butt I received was incorrectly assembled.
Apparently AI messed up a few and they didn't know who received the bad ones so have just been waiting for people to complain.


I received the one on the left which must fit an AX butt, the right side one is what they sent me as a replacement.

Here the adjustable butt as received vs the standard spacers.


So if anyone else ends up with a butt that doesn't fit, this is why.

Finally starting to get the rifle out more frequently now I'm doing less rimfire.

Took the rifle to an NRA shoot (FTR, F class, etc) shooting 3/5/600 yards, my dodgy 308 reloads and 16" barrel did well at 300 but fell apart after that, need to shoot some more to work out if it was just wind giving me vertical in my groups, or I need to speed more time tuning my load.

168gr ELD-Ms, Varget, Sellior Bellot (shite) brass, and ES of 50fps.
Quite a windy day with a variable 4-5oclock wind.
 
300yards, wind was difficult but group was .74moa tall including the first sighted I dialed down .1mil after.


500yards, not bad windage (was a windy day) but vertical is 1.4moa, would be a little less without first sighter


600yards, was really questioning my elevation after shots 6 and 7 so dialed up and ended up putting shot 9 quite high. Shot 6 was slow on the Garmin, not sure why 7 went low though.
600yards with some 168SMK Sellipr Bellot Match ammo, grouped well at 100yards but has an ES of 80, so wasn't expecting good things. A lot worse than 168 ELDMs in the wind.

Yea geez, I’d switch to a heavier bullet before I bought a quick-order new barrel.

I shoot the 200gr terminal ascent in a 1:10 300wm

If you know where I can get 200 gr TA bullets shoot me the link.

The only reason I was worried about the barrel is the hunt is coming up and I might not have time to do load workup. If this was two months ago I would have just used a larger bullet.

Nice! yeah I’m thinking light Palma 16.5” for a easy suppressed hunting rifle but also can plink steel once in awhile

Hard shooting for a "hunting" gun! Was never designed for that, but the last version of the Lee Enfield was legendary. Well done!

tried some sweet taters in the garden a few years ago, they did not produce, and not sure what I did wrong,

Here in Florida, they are the only thing that grow well during the heat of the summer. So I let them take over the garden at that point. Other than the 90 day varieties, they take a long time to mature. Biggest issue I’ve had is getting all of the small ones out, as you’ll get volunteers all over the garden from every little bit left in the ground.

Thanks, I'll try those glasses.

I should have added i have 2 versions. "Standard" and "suppressor". The suppressor is thin arms so go under ear muffs. It comes with the elastic strap which snaps on/off because if you aren't wearing muffs those glasses fall off very easily.

This is the kit I have:

That same strap works with their standard frame.

Tried cutting out all seeds? They really enhance inflammation if you’re prone to it due to injury. Seeds oils like all of the vegetable oils are the worst culprit.

We use olive and avocado oil for some stuff, lard and coconut for frying now. Zero seed oil and my joint pain went from awful to not bad.

You can do a really strict protocol at first, then introduce some things one at a time to see how you react.

Corn, (most)wheat and peanut is a zero tolerance for me now but I can tolerate sourdough made from organic wheat. I avoid most beans (lectins are high) and “stalk” vegetables. Almost any fruit of a plant is ok for me, especially zucchini and tomatoes/peppers.

It took time to figure out my triggers for inflammation but the results have been great.

No seeds, no vegetable oil. I do occasionally eat peanut butter (does that count)? Fussed atvtge wife for not getting extra virgin olive oil. Nowvthat I think, maybe my back hurts from sleeping on the sofa.

Gonna have to do a food inventory.

WTF? Should have been done day one. All those guns and gold should have disappeared on day one. And opening a joint account in the middle of a divorce? Holy crap that was stoooopid on another level.
Sounds like the only thing you did right was to not have any fuck trophies with this woman.
