navybowhunter Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hello all,I am new to AR's, and purchased one the other day on a pure impulse buy/2nd amendment "cause I still can" buy.I am an avid hunter, primarily bow hunting, but love target shooting and own several long guns and hand guns.I purchased a POF .308-20 from a local shop here. Came with one magpull 20 round magazine. Price out the door was $2700.....I will say that is the most money I have ever spent on a firearm. I am very excited to have the 7 day waiting period (mandatory here in MD) over. But it gives me time to order the stuff for it.I picked up a Leupold MARK AR scope 3x9 40mm (duplex), and a DNZ one piece mount. Additionally I bought 2 more Magpull 20 round mags, and 200 rounds of .308 ammo. Can't wait to get it to the range and sight it in.Primary reason for purchase, was I still can. But, could see myself using on a hog hunt down south one of these days.Any advice/experience with any members here on the POF 308-20?Glad I found this site.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that "bow" as in "bow sonar"?I think you're the first person to have a POF here...most of us just keep buying more rifles. <laughs>You'll find out what that's like soon enough! <lmao>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybowhunter Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks all!Navy"bow"hunter....I am a retired Airedale Chief, only time messing with anything to do with subs, was with a tour with a P-3 squadron (sub hunters)...LOLVery excited to get this machine to the range, and see what kind of performance I can get out of it. Anyone know of a 4 round magazine that will work with the POF 308? One that will function reliably? I have read a little, and have heard some magazines just don't work well with certain weapons.Glad to be a part of the forum!Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybowhunter Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 OK...Here is my attempt to upload a pic.....my new POF .308 -20 topped with a Leupold MARK AR 3x9 40MM scope, DNZ Freedom reaper mount. All I can afford to put on her for now.....any suggestions for a bipod to attach to her, that will be useful for shooting from a bench at 100 yards (only distance I can get for now).Boresighted and ready for the range!STOKED to say the least!
