Re: GAP 10 v POF 308
Here we go again with the apples and oranges comparisons of x-platform vs. y-platform.
The simple fact is that despite some commonality of parts like the receivers/hanguards/etc., the POF P-308 rifles and the GAP-10 rifles are night and day in nearly every key aspect from the barrels to the basic operating methods to the hand-crafting/tuning that goes into the GAP versus a factory production rifle.
Now, with all that said, I have had my P-308 20" SPR for a couple years now and it has been absolutely reliable and incredibly accurate producing sub-MOA accuracy since day one. I have consistently achieved 3/4 MOA with factory match ammo, including 168gr, 175gr BH and FGMM. I also have a 155gr Scenar handload that has been getting just under 3/4MOA.
Not to take away anything from the POF rifles which I feel are excellent in my own experience, but the reports from Lowlight and others here on the forum are that the GAP-10 rifles they have fielded are consistently getting 1/2MOA accuracy with many groups hovering in the 1/4MOA RANGE!!! That is attaining a level of accuracy not found in many precision bolt action rifles and is nearly unheard of with a semi-auto. Try running a search for reports on the GAP-10 rifles that have already been delivered to some of the membership here. It simply doesn't get any better than that AND it isn't just accurate. Reliability, durability (short term anyway since these are new to the market) and overall value are just incredible...but what do you expect from a true custom-built rifle.
There aren't any side-by-side comparisons of the two platforms that I am aware of at this point, but again...its an apples/oranges comparison other than "they kinda look alike." If you want to see some "sort-of" comparisons, there are vids/posts of Lowlight shooting different POF rifles, as well as his recent reports on the GAP-10. Dig around a little on the search engine (see my sig line) and make your own observations and conclusions as to what YOU think about the platforms.

You can glean some good information from that site at times, but it has to come with a LOT of patience and a LOT MORE tolerance than some can endure!!
