Do they get foggy?

Not initially, but after some hard use the anti-fog coating on the inside can wear off. Mine did after a few years, but I just got replacement lenses which are relatively inexpensive.

Obama got one for winning an election.

Correct. He was nominated after the election but before he took office. Then received it shortly after getting in. I think a lot of people forget this, the nomination was for literally nothing.

Looking for some sort of lightish CQB rifle or possibly pistol version
Must be a Quality Piece!!

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.
