I found a site which retails the SIG 716 Patrol FDE for $1,900 and the POF .308 in 16.5" Fluted BBL, with NP3 finish for $2,499, which is much less than the $3,250 listed on their website, plus it is in stock and will ship immediately.

So, I am leaning towards the POF or the SIG 716. I'm just not sure if I want to wait so long for a GAP-10, plus it will cost around $3,400 with suppressor threading, barrel fluting and muzzle break, which I believe is standard with POF and SIG.

So, if everyone who has replied only had these 2 platforms to choose between, which would it be?

Sig 716 Patrol FDE -or-

POF .308 in 16.5" or 20" barrel

Please recall I am looking for a good quality, first semi-auto .308 win platform. I don't expect perfection, just a solid rifle with good accuracy, fun to shoot, moderate-easy to clean, great customer service with perhaps a bit of cool factor.
