My shooting partner has a Gen 3 Springfield Scope with the 7.62 calibrated reticle. He is pondering his choices of a new M1A, AR10, or Rem 700.

The calibers are the same; yet, there are barrel differences with each model. Which may affect the use of the range finding reticle. I just do not know

Would there be any issues or concerns when mounting this scope to the AR10 or Rem700.

Thanks in Advance

Why do you think barrel differences will affect the range finding reticle? The scope is determining the range, not the barrel. If you are talking about velocity, then yes a longer vs shorter barrel will make a difference. Bullet drop should be the same however. I could be wrong.

The bullet drop won't be the same but it will be similar enough. Probably within the human error of using the reticle.
