D.R.D. Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 What's the general consensus on pof? On paper, they have all the 'right' specs. I've heard varying opinions on how well they run (talking 308 here). And, they aren't the cheapest. What say you all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 A few people I've talked to in retail said, after beyond poor customer service, they won't have anything to do with POF anymore…all specifically related to the .308 models. For the price I'd personally go with someone that doesn't have a list of mixed reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 There's a local AZ shooting forum with lots of pof reviews. Since Hogan is local, one might think we would get better service or quality. NOPE. Most of the reviews start optimistic and hopeful, and after a few months and a few returns (for the lucky ones who get any response) most exchange them for another brand. I'm sure the 5.56 guns are ok, but the 7.62 is a crap shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 That's what I've heard. Too bad. They put a 'conceptually' awesome package together. I guess a superior rifle is more than the sum of good parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Damn. You guys are bringing me down. I should finally be getting my P308 12.5" SBR in the next couple of weeks or so (that was ordered in December of 11). I'll let everybody know how she runs.

D.R.D. Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes, I'd be very curious to hear. I hope she runs smoothly for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 POF uses that stupid high rail. I'll take a PWS over it any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinthor Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Well, I haven't seen anything documented in recent years that was negative. Did see a good bit about poor customer service or issues from 8 years or so ago. In any case, all I can say is that I've had mine now for about a year and I've never had any issues with it. Very accurate, shoots anything without issues and I barely have to clean it beyond a wipe down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansRey Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I've used the 5.56 variant and enjoyed the hell out of it, but when I was looking at my .308 due to using the POF before I was leaning towards it, but for the same price of the POF, I got my Longer barrel and upgraded trigger in my sig for the same price, And I to have heard mixed review on them, I wouldn't mind one of their sbr's but probably would end up getting something else due to personal preference. They Are fun rifles that is for sure! Also the first rifle to make me swap over to piston over DI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdryheat Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have 2 POF Gen 4's, .223 and .308. Both have never had a FTF and I am very happy with them. Run very cool and easy to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well, you guys are kind of bumming me out about my POF now. Granted I haven't put a ton of rounds through it, but it seems to be a top notch rifle so far for me. Maybe I need to take her out dancing and get you a better review....

392heminut Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I got to shoot a POF 308 at the range Saturday as a matter of fact. Had my wife out getting her tuned up to do the concealed carry course and some of her co-workers from the hospital came out too. One of the nurses pulls the POF out of a hardcase and handed it and a loaded Pmag to me. The gun looks great and shot pretty damn good too! I certainly wouldn't feel bad about having one in my gun vault if that particular gun was any indication of what to expect from them.

gsmopar Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I bought one over the weekend. GOTAMMO LLC in good year has the Gen 4 on the Gen 3 lower for $1900. Ordered an Optic on Saturday. I'll post an update after I get everything together and head out to the range. Initial impressions after tear down clean and lube is that it's a lot nicer than any other M4/AR platform in my safe. Can't wait to shoot it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunfixer Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I think these are terrific rifles, I've owned several and wish I still had the one'sI have gotten rid of over time.. I still have my 14.5" P-308 and am getting another 5.56mm 16".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunfixer Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I think these are terrific rifles, I've owned several and wish I still had the one'sI have gotten rid of over time.. I still have my 14.5" P-308 and am getting another 5.56mm 16"..Don't be bummed, there were troubles a while back, but I am a BIG fanof these awesome rifles and the guys that "Poo-Poo" them are mostly theone's that don't own one and a few are still reliving long past troubles..This is my 14.5" which I also recently added the new M-Rail; replaced this one pictured here andI still am a huge fan.. I WILL be getting another 5.56mm POF soon, I just need to decide on which one.. ;) Edited December 28, 2015 by gunfixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
