The modern .308 platform demands a balance of repeatable accuracy, durability, and field-proven reliability. For operators and serious shooters who need a hard-working rifle that stands up to extended use and adverse conditions, a purpose-built system matters.

PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY (POF) P-308 is a high-performance, semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO). Its patented E^2 Dual-Extraction short-stroke gas piston system, nitride heat-treated match-grade barrels (commonly available in 16.5″ or 20″), and 7075-T6 machined receivers set this platform apart in durability and maintenance ease.

Design and Operating System

The P-308 uses POF’s patented E^2 Dual-Extraction Technology combined with a short-stroke gas piston. That operating system reduces direct gas exposure to the bolt and receiver, lowers fouling, and improves extraction reliability under harsh conditions. Machined upper and lower receivers made from 7075-T6 aluminum provide a rigid platform engineered for consistent accuracy and long service life.

Why the piston matters

Compared with direct impingement designs, the short-stroke piston mitigates heat and carbon in the action. This is a tactical advantage for extended strings of fire or duty use where cleaning intervals are longer.

Barrel, Trigger, and Accuracy

The rifle is offered with match-grade nitride-treated barrels in 16.5″ or 20″ lengths, delivering a balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance for .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO). The factory Drop-In Trigger System (set around 4.5 lbs) gives a crisp, predictable pull suitable for both precision work and rapid follow-up shots.

Ergonomics, Accessories, and Practical Use

The ambidextrous controls and the M.R.I. handguard with M-LOK compatibility make the P-308 modular for optics, bipods, and mission-specific accessories. Expect a platform weight in the 8.5–9 lb range depending on barrel choice—appropriate for a robust .308 system intended for tactical, hunting, or long-range applications.
