Should be 1:8 twist on the POF.  I believe they all come that way.

I am planning on buying a POF model P415 16.5 inch barrel model number 00405. I have read the specs on the web site and did not see what the rifling was. IE 1/7 1/8 1/9. Does anyone know what it is? Also I have shopped at a few places and got an idea of prices. What is everyones opinion of a good price. I know that MSRP is 2319.99.

The 14.5" barrel on my P-415 is stamped "5.56 NATO 1-8" and it's a laser.

I've put about 500 rounds thru my 14.5 inch 308 and shot multiple 3 round groups under an inch at 200 yards with match grade ammo. I've even shot 20 round groups into targets out to 650 yards with wolf ammo that would easily put them all in a mans chest. POFmakes one hell of a rifle. My only complain is the rifle makes everything else look inadequate.

Great system but it can double at a boat anchor when you no longer have ammunition.

It's one of the lightest 7.62 rifles out there.

Wuh?  I'm not knocking the rifle, just saying it's heavy.  Especially the 5.56 version.  I had the Hogan H-308 (basically the same exact thing as the P-308) and it was a beautifully shooting rifle.  I loved it and could not say enough good things about it.  And then, I shot a SCAR-17S.  I was never the same after that....

At 8.7 lbs. for a stripped rifle? I beg to differ.

I have a 16" POF P308 and a POF 415 and have never had a problem of any sort with either one. Both are well under 1moa with my hand loads or FGMM. I like the forearms despite being a bit bulky.

POF P308 It now wears a USO ST10 scope with ergo and EREK.

Some video of my P-308 at the range this weekend

I Went to the range to try two new 25rd mags and brown bear 140gr SP in the P-308.

The mags had a few issues with the first 2-3 rounds of soft point.   The rifle functioned fine.

I expect the mags to wear in with a little use.    They seem to feed fine after the first rounds have been shot.  I'll report more as they get more cycles through them.



A friends 13yr old daughter shot it a few times and enjoyed it!

SC-Texas, were those 25 rounders that you spoke of the new Magpul mags?

The are the old pof 25 rd mags.   The first few rounds have issues,  especially the soft points.   I think they will work themselves in with more cycles.

I wish I had somee test magpul mags but if I did it would most likely be under an NDA

I think this might be my first post, been lurking for a bit.

Just thought I share a little info.  I picked up my POF 415  14.5"  just before Christmas @ Buds for just under $1500.  Just checked their site and they are still available.  The Pic shows the VLTOR and Ergo, but mine had Magpul for both stock and grip, mfg in July of '13.  I was a little apprehensive because of the price, but was pleasantly surprised.  Bought a M&P 15-22 as well... $399.

I just ordered a 14.5" P308 from Buds for $1,953.  You can't beat that price for a Pof.  I owned a P415 before and it was a great gun, wish I kept it.

I have owned one along with a few Noveskes, a few LWRCs, LMTs, etc. I can say I really liked the POF and it was very, very accurate but I didn't torture it by any means. Since getting rid of mine, I have heard horror stories about them quitting on lots of people in classes and even one particular instructor making someone put his back in his car at the beginning of a course and having him use a borrowed gun for the course. I would  follow the advice on here and go with an LWRC is set on a piston or go with a KAC, Noveske, Larue if you want a DI gun instead.
