    Are you asking about their 350 legend specifically (per your link) or POF generally?

    I've got their 308 piston and 5.56 piston rifles. Both are good to go. Great quality.

    Ive played with them. Quality seems excellent and the features like ambi everything (at least. on the one I used) were well done.

    I try to keep the POF Revolution (308) in stock. They are a high end rifle that are well worth the higher cost.

    That particular gun in the link, 350 legend DI, I'd avoid a "mid length" gas 16.5" spec in 350L.

    I have a 18" mid length and it does not cycle a lot of factory ammo, even with the gas port opened all the way to .125 and reduced weight buffer/spring, and a suppressor. Undergassed. I have heard/read/experienced - with a mid length 350L you get all the problems of an undergassed AR. A 16.5" mid length with less dwell time ... more potential problems.

    350L is new so there is still a lot of trial and error. I switched to a carbine length gas barrel, it cycles everything. Really the farthest you want to go with 350L is carbine length gas.

    I had a POF 762, it's a match gun out of the box with upgraded everything. I sold only because I had 5 semi 762s and didn't need the POF. I bought it off my old boss who sold it to me cheap. Now I have 2 semi 762s and I'm good. If I was in the market for a .308 battle rifle the POF would be it, or a Larue.

    As far as accuracy, 350L is a straight walled cartridge so don't expect 762 or 556 "match grade" accuracy. consistency in loading the cartridge is as important as the rifle & barrel. factory ammo QC sucks balls during the pandemic, they seem to be happy to pump it out even if it looks like a hipster loaded it in his garage on a single stage. You will get minute of hog or deer for sure, but I doubt thats worth paying a premium for. You get get an equally decent 350L upper with a premium barrel for a lot less.

    They probably out sourced manufacture to China...

    Have some and they are awesome! An original full POF "predator" AR and a P415. Build quality and fit & finish are absolutely top tier.

    My only complaint is that their single stage red box triggers have the slightest "notch feeling" just before the break. It's a great trigger, miles better than mil-spec, but it isn't flawless.
