I've got just over 600 flawless rounds thru my G2 Recon 308 16"and it is by far the best semi 308(FAL,G3,M1A, BUSHMASTER BAR 10, ROCK RIVER LAR8, ARMALITE) I've owned yet. I don't know how they did it but I understand your not wanting a 16" 308. I owned for a while an armalite 16" carbine that was terrible to shoot. The G2 is a pleasure to shoot. I did add a nice seekins compensator, and was temped to get inline for a suppressor. It has had zero problems with several brands of ammo including my favorite reloads and is very accurate. They did have some early problems but any new production should be fine. Regards
