Design and Construction

The P-308 is built on a billet 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receiver set, delivering strength with controlled weight for a .308 platform that averages roughly 8.5–9 pounds depending on barrel length. Buyers can choose match-grade, nitride heat-treated barrels typically offered in 16.5″ or 20″ lengths—each optimized for accuracy and longevity under sustained use. The ambidextrous controls and modular Rail Interface System (M.R.I.) with M-LOK compatibility allow fast accessory mounting and ergonomic customization for left- or right-handed shooters.

Operating System: Reliability Under Fire

The rifle employs POF’s patented E^2 Dual-Extraction Technology paired with a short-stroke gas piston system. This combination significantly reduces fouling in the receiver and improves extraction consistency in adverse conditions, a critical advantage for field deployments and heavy-range sessions where maintenance opportunities are limited.

Trigger and Handling

Factory-equipped with a Drop-In Trigger System set around a crisp ~4.5 lbs, the P-308 provides a predictable pull that complements its match-grade barrel options. Ergonomics are tuned for a .308 rifle to keep follow-up shots smooth while maintaining a stable platform for precision work.

Performance and Applications

Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), this rifle excels at mid- to long-range engagements, hunting medium-to-large game, and precision target work. The cartridge offers proven terminal performance, wide ammunition availability, and a balance of recoil and ballistic efficiency—ideal for shooters needing versatility without sacrificing accuracy. Note: this listing appears in the Bolt Action category on the site for organizational purposes.
