Self Defense

POF Revolution DI .308

Accuracy at range was consistent, with no vertical stringing. My friend and colleague, Scott McGregor, used one at a recent Hornady media event and I watched him put 10 rounds on steel at 610 meters rapid fire using Hornady 155-grain ELDM with ease, and no significant change in point of impact. My experience was exactly the same back home, putting 16 of 20 rounds in the ISPC steel at 700 yards using the American Gunner. Switching back to 200 meters, the zero was unchanged. It just does not get much better with an AR-10.

Bottom Line

Testing .308 ARs is always a mixed bag for me. Having used them since the 1990, most are quite disappointing and my least favorite to shoot. Granted, things have evolved a ton, but most are heavy with heavy recoil and spotty reliability. Some work great with one round, not so much with others. The very best I’ve tested all seem to start around $4,000—way out of most people’s price range. My first test of an AR-15 sized .308 was the DPMS, and it worked but was very harsh to shoot. POF’s Revolution DI .308 seems to deal with all those things pretty well. Recoil is present (it is a .308 after all), but a good brake manages it very well. Accuracy is excellent, reliability is spot on and its tunable. When it comes to size and weight, it’s as close as you can get to an AR-15. After testing it will be added to a very short list of only four .308 ARs I will actually shoot on purpose. If you are looking for a light, accurate, and reliable .308 that does not break your back (and possibly not your bank either) give this one a very long and hard look!
