Can it handle military grade ammo?
I am planning on using this rifle for target shooting...

make up your mind- do you want to shoot mil surplus, or target shoot?
The RRA is considered one of the best budget CMP Service Rifles out there. You are looking at the same barrel, less the free-float.
It has a 1:8 twist, so you can shoot the heavier match bullets... 77 grains and a bit more. You said target shooting, and that means reaching out.
The chrome lining may reduce your barrel's accuracy. However, you can abuse it in full automatic, and it will be a snap to clean after 500 rounds in an afternoon of firefights with flesh eating zombies, when they come to get you. No, wait-- you said TARGET.
Since you said TARGET the answer is a no-brainer. Rock River Stainless Steel barrel.
What the heck are you guys thinking? The dude asks for a TARGET gun, and you advise a Bushmaster upper???
And yes, it will shoot milsurp ammo. Garbage in, garbage groups. If you really want 10 shots sub MOA, you gotta make your own or buy premium ammo.
You will save enough money to buy all your basic reloading gear.
If you would build a rifle, why would you settle for crappy old factory ammo?
