To the OP, yes there are battle rifles designed for .308 and will function just fine with them.

Check out DSA, they have FAL's which will meet your needs for a battle rifle that will function with .308 AND 7.62x51mm (M80 ball).

FAL's are great battle rifles. M1A's are great if your sitting on a rifle range, they are very accurate. I like the adjustable gas settings on the FAL, the left handed charging handle and left handed bolt release as well as the safety (not in the trigger guard).
