An AR-10 will also be lighter with comparable parts (heavy barrel, FF rails).
AR10′s are also very good with hot loads, they seem to handle it much better than an M14 Scope Mounts, One hot load to the M14 Scope Mounts and say hello to Mr. Bent Op-rod and Hello to Mr Frequent Jams. AR10 is also easy on brass. The Military might not reload, but some of us do so that is another positive.
For scope mounting, AR10 is light years ahead because it is already on the Receiver and their is nothing to adjust or break. I think the best M14 Scope Mounts option to mount a scope is the LaRue Tactical SPR-E (or similar) mounted backwards on the Sage top rail. This way you can take off the entire top rail with scope in place to clean the M14 Scope Mounts, and when you put it back, POI shift will be very minimal and not even noticeable.
Extraction on the M14 Scope Mounts gets weaker and weaker with the round count, and it does not take a lot of rounds before you have super weak extraction where the shell barely leaves the rile. AR extraction is always positive.
