 POF Revolution DI - The Lightweight 308 Wonder A 308 round, a shoehorn, and an AR-15 walk into a bar. No punchline needed- the POF Revolution walks out. Patriot Ordnance Factory has managed to fit the venerable 308 cartridge into a tidy, 6.8 pound package. Eugene Stoner couldn't have dreamed it up any better.

Holy cow that thing is a shooter. The brake must work, my 10 lb LR 308 jumps like a pole dancer on meth.

I have a pof upper gas block cracked after less than 300 rounds . I sent it back and they welded it. I would would switch it to di but I’m not sure the gas port is correct. Or if I can get the gas block off . If I remember correct the upper was$1200.

Its a good shooter and the factory brake does a good job. Not bad for a $1200 rifle |

After getting it back I haven’t shot it much . I figured it would break by the weld. |

I have the 18" POF Revolution piston model. It's an awesome rifle, recoil really is only marginally more than a 5.56. Got it new for $1900.

Wow. That is badass.
Pat? Is he going to post here? If so, I have a question. How did the grip angle "feel"? I know that is subjective because it will "feel" different to everyone, so I guess I want to know if it was distracting or weird in any way? I'm sure it is easy to get used to but did you go back and forth between an AR15 and the POF308? I love the entire concept of that rifle.

It’s not so much the felt recoil...it’s just how much it jumps around when I shoot it. The only time I didn’t feel the recoil or the jumping is when I shot that 140 class buck that time.

To be considerably lighter than the Victor or Adams Arms at a $5-600 expense isn't unreasonable at all imo. |

The grip angle was fine. Going from an AR15 to the Revolution is easy. You hardly notice the setback of the grip.

I not bashing POF btw, I was just saying what I would do in that ballpark of money. Same reason I chose a SR-15 over a DD. It was a $600 price difference for a better rifle. |

The special receiver design is what makes it 6.8 lbs .308 that's a short as a 5.56 AR. The DPMS and SR25 are huge in comparison. Defense Review has a few pics here that compares it to a 5.56 POF with a similar barrel length. |

Or different length handguards. And while I get the theory of their heat sink barrel nut. It just seems goofy. |

Only a couple of hundred through mine so far, some suppressed, seems solid.
recoil is well managed- maybe the brake, maybe the piston system. Putting a scope that weighs probably half as much again on top might have helped..... I got this one, unfired, off the EE here for a steal...
