I made it out to Myrtle Grove WMA today just as the rain cleared out, which made for a perfect shoot (i.e. only 2 other people there!). Regardless, it was my first time out with both a POF in 6.8mm and a PWS in 5.56.
I put 160 rounds through the POF (16") with 2 failures: one double-feed and one failure-to-feed. Both failures were on 120gr Hornady SST. 100 rounds of SSA 110gr OTM worked fine. These were the first rounds through the rifle and my first on a 6.8. Overall, I'm a bit nervous over the failures, but the accuracy was pretty good. The link below is to a pic of 10 rounds at 75 yards (used a bipod; zero wind). Even with the 1 flyer, I was pretty happy!

The PWS MK114 worked flawlessly!! It was a little dirtier during cleaning, but it ate everything I fed it (120 rounds of PMC 5.56 55gr and 62gr, PMC .223 55gr, and LC 5.56 55gr). Overall, I really like the PWS! It's unbelievably light, balanced, and very fun to shoot. It only has a red dot sight so not as accurate as the POF (not the rifle's fault).
