Several people replied to you with good information. Your last two posts were inflammatory and now you are getting flak for it, and deservedly so.
You could have picked up on the posts answering your question. Yet you attacked basically everyone on the forum because you didn't get an answer in a few hours. Sometimes it takes a day or two depending on who shows up and reads your questions. Sometimes a few minutes.
The guys here are a good group and very helpful. You just went at it like someone spoiled and use to getting their way immediately. It's very rude of you.
Did you all get hit with those storms…???
Best answer ever
How did I not think of this one?!?! Sometimes I disappoint myself.

7.62x51mm NATO is a fixed specification round, since it's used by all NATO member countries.
It is a military round, and might be too 'Hot' for some civilian .308 Winchester chambered rifles, even though it will interchange in Chambers.
The military is under no obligation to stick to, or notify civilians when they change specifications for ammo.
The way the chamber is cut is the biggest difference between RIFLES.
The Winchester .308 round history is pretty well known, specifications can be found at Sporting Arms Ammunition Munitions Institute (SAAMI).
There are differences between civilian .308 and 7.62x51 NATO cases and loaded cartridges.
Generally the two will interchange in factory loaded ammo, but reloaders MUST pay attention or bad things can easily happen.

Considering the answer to OP's question on differences between .308 and 7.62 is based in fact rather than opinion he could've spent 10 minutes using Google and YouTube and got definitive answers. Now as to the rifle that's a matter of opinion for most part
