Pof-usa 6.5

[usda_beef]

Good Morning Snipers Hide,

New poster here and long range noob here, im looking to get into long range/precision shooting matches in the south florida area with a semiautomatic rifle and have been looking at the pof 6.5 creedmoor(link below). I wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with this rifle or can guide im in the direction of a good semiauto for dmr/spr/sniper matches. Ive called POF-USA and they claimed this rifle is capable of sub moa shots with the right ammo. Also if possible please recommend me the correct optic i would need. Im looking at the vortex pst gen 2 5-25 FFP.

Thanks for the help!

While I had a POF P308 in the past and it was a shooter, I understand they had issues with their 6.5..They stopped selling them for a while so arent many out in the wild. It appears they are now making them again. If a match semi is your goal I wouldnt be grabbing one of those till its been tried and proven. Especially if your new to this. My first recommendation for a tried and proven, accurate 6.5cm AR10 would be a JP, GAP10 or Seekins10. Otherwise I would build one like many of us have. I have a custom 22" Bartlein 6.5cm AR10, Mega receiver set, SD-E trigger, SLR handguard, SLR adjustable gas block, Magpul PRS stock which I run with a Rugged Surge 7.62 suppressor and Vortex Razor HD. Its sub 0.75moa gun all day long with many groups at 0.5moa or less.

You havent stated a budget so its hard to give specific recommendation. Will you be handloading or shooting factory ammo?

If you dig piston ARs, consider a PWS MK220 in 6.5 CM. There aren't a lot out there as production is limited. I believe PWS also has a $200 rebate through the end of September. Check gunbroker...

I had one of their few 6.5cms, and it never fed reliably. I got tired of dealing with this and sent it back for a 308 upper. If they have fixed their prior problems then I would consider one.
