I have not had a good experience with the KELTEC product.

I had to return 3 out of 3 P32 to get them to run properly
I had to return 1 out of 2 P380 to get it to run properly.

I finally gave up, traded them all and started collecting PUPs.

Ouch!  That's not good to hear.  I was really leaning toward the Kel Tec .308.

Please don't let my experience halt your purchase.

There are many people I know that have good experience with their KELTEC.

I'll continue to talk to folks who have a .308 and get their thoughts.  Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, please do not loose heart in Kel-Tec.

As I have stated in another post, I have had less problems(0) with all of my Kel-Tecs combined than my one R9.  And I have fired thousands of rounds downrange with each of them:

(2) 32's
(2)380's
(1) PF9
(1)P11
(1)9mm Carbine

I did not start hearing of Kel-Tec problems until the CCW craze  hit and the intro of the 380 and PF9 at the same time.
 
And like most companies, when production ramps up, QC goes down, unfortunately

Reinz.  I'm still going to pursue the Kel-Tec .308; like the looks and have heard no complaints on this particular weapon; so it's still a go.  Thanks for the encouragement.

Yeah, that's the key, don't get in a hurry.

That way, hopefully you won't leave money on the table.

Don't won't to make a snap decision; especially for something I really don't need.    :)

Every gun guy NEEDS at least one .308.

And/or

At least one Bullpup.
