The bad - These guns are heavy in general and like most pistons tend to be front heavy. I have a 14.5 inch barrel with suppressor. I have to believe a 20 inch barrel is going to be very heavy.

I'm 5'8" and weigh 155lbs, I would describe myself as average size and build, and I am 59 years old. I don't find my POF heavy. It is beefier then a 5.56 (my son-in-law describes it as an M-4 on steroids). But you can't fire a .308 round with some lightweight rifle, if you did the recoil would be brutal.
When you talk about the rifle being front heavy, I think you're forgetting that you're the one with a can at the end of your barrel. I actually find that the 20" barrel makes the rifle really well balanced.
Hounddog, I'm confused about your rifle configuration. Why buy a .308 with a 14.5" barrel. The .308 is intended as an all purpose round (short and long) but your barrel screams short range. What am I missing?
