Ever carried one around.

308 battle rifles are heavy their ammo is more than twice as heavy as a 5.56.

I have own and used and shot many examples of both.

What’s a short range scope?

For me any thing from a 3x9 on down works well. The newer stuff even has a larger range of power.

So many choices so little time and money.

just guessing but perhaps it is a competition rifle.

or maybe it is a “trophy rifle” (if such a thing exists, lol).
