Ok I have a P308 14.5", without a doubt it's an amazing carbine, but I'd like to improve it if possible. I plan to get the new POF muzzle brake, but what else can I do to up it some. Here's what's in it so far
P308 14.5, Leupold Mark 4 2.5-8x36 Illum, Insight mini red dot, Enidine AR-10 hydraulic recoil buffer carbine, Harris bipod, Vltor front and rear flip sights, Magpul ACS stock, Magpul angled front grip, Magpul 20rd 308 mags, Surefire mini scout light, all mounts LaRue Tactical.
Give me some feed back and info, thanks!

Skip the POF muzzle brake and get an OPS, INC. muzzle brake. That will set you up to add a suppressor later from OPS, INC., who make the best ones. Do you have a PRI gas buster charging handle? You might want to look at a second upper with a 20" barrel. And if you really want to drop some cash, switch out the barrels and get the Mike Rock 5R barrels with the carbon fiber wrap. They come in all lengths. Do you have an adjustable gas block?

Other than that, I seem to have the same set up as you, except my gun is a fulton armory titan with an 18&1/2 inch barrel. I also have a badger ordnance 22 moa riser and two scopes in QD mounts, a Nightforce 1-4 and a Valdada 2-12. Also, my BUIS have tritium inserts.

The only thing I'm looking for now is less weight, which is why I'm interested in carbon wrapped barrels. Slightly less weight I know, but at this point every once counts.

Other things to look at adding on, night vision and it's accessories, such as IR lasers and lights and range finders.

I get 10% of the cost of everything I mentioned if you add it. My fee. :)

I think I'll stay with the P308 muzzle break, it helps stablize and reduce the recoil. My P308 14.5 already has a recoil much closer to a AR-15 then any 7.62x51 rifle I have fired before. Also if you are worried about weight, you should look into a P308, mine without anything on it weighs 8.5 pounds and the barrel is fluted all the way down it, helping to reduce weight and heat. I'll look into everything else you talked about though. Thanks for the reply.
