POF-USA P308-16-MRR-308 RECON (PICS)

[Guest JHatmaker]

Long name, I know, you'd think they could keep it simple. I'd been wanting one of these for over a year and finally picked one up. Hopefully I'll be able to shoot some this weekend, we'll see. The trigger is as crisp as I've ever felt on an AR. Definately will be putting a can on it soon. I've read good things about their piston system, and their hand-guard (or what they called Modular Railed Receiver) has a nice rough texture treatment on part of it. They say their NP3 coating requires no lube, so I'm interested to see how that works out.

Just................DAMN!!

Nothin like that hard hitting .308, IMO.

[Jasongar8]

POF's are sweet. I have seen them totured and they still keep on running. Great looking gun.

[hipower]

Sweet!

[JeffsSig]

Is that a .22?

Just kidding!

Very very Nice!

[Smith]

Awesome rifle. Definitely like it better than the SCAR!

[Kenstaroni]

No ...that's bad !

Nice purchase J...now the whole board is jealous

[Kevo]

That is one mean looking setup. AND you're going to have a suppresor for it? Enjoy it, my hat is off to you, sir!

[Guest Marine03]

If you don't mind me asking what does one of those set you back?

[Guest ryan02]

I love POFs. Just don't like the prices. Nice gun.

[DAdams]

Which mag does it use?

[nightrunner]

Very nice rifle sir!

that handguard reminds me of rhino liner

[Guest JHatmaker]

If you don't mind me asking what does one of those set you back?

MSRP on their site is $2600

Which mag does it use?

Takes the standard Bushmaster, C-Products, DPMS 25 round magazines. Also Magpul's 20 Round P-Mag works.

Well, if I ever get an AR, that'd be the one. Looks sharp.

[Leadslinger]

That thing is effin' awesome looking. IMO, it looks way better than the LWRC Reeper.

[SmokyBaer]

Been reading LOTS of great things on the POF piston design...

Anxious for a range report!!

[Magiccarpetrides]

Love the look of the gun except the grip....something about it throws the look off imho...but its definitely a cool piece...would love to own one someday...congrats!

[Guest JHatmaker]

Thanks for the comments fellas

I'll FINALLY get a chance to shoot it this weekend. Have had so much going on the past couple weekends I couldn't get down to Charlie's place to test it out. Now I just have to stock up on some .308 ammo, all I have are hunting rounds...

[Guest mac_05evo]

Bad ass man!! How is the weight of it?

[Guest JHatmaker]

It's not too bad, definately heavier than the scar I had.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Finally got to shoot this dang thing over the weekend. I was extremely impressed. Was very accurate with iron sights (left my scope at home, so didn't get it sight it in). I was pleasantly surprised by the recoil. It still gives you a nice little nudge, but no where near that of other .308 AR's I've tried, as well as my old SOCOM 16 M14. It also throws a nice little flame, much larger than the SOCOM did. I'd love to shoot this at night and see what it looks like.

The only issue I had was w/ some Magpul P-Mags I bought. It would not cycle and eject properly. The standard 25 round DMPS magazine fed perfectly though. I'll see if I can find some stuff online and make sure it wasn't the ammo. (I had only put Hornady in the P-Mags.)

Now just got to get back out there and shoot some long range targets...
