Recently purchased a Armalite in 308 with a 16" barrel, have only been able to play with it very little but I love it. Very maneuverable, point-ability is great and with the adjustable stock will be just right for when deer season comes and it gets colder here in WV, which as far when you have extra clothes on for that time of year the adjustable stock is great. Haven't had any function problems but then again I'm no expert compared to others here but I'm very satisfied with this brand of rifle.
