I concur, in regards to the fact that is the scope.

The guys who took these pics were also testing muzzle velocity of each rifle and came up with some interesting results...

All testing conducted Thursday 22 July 2010 between 1600-1700 at Det Ramadi, Iraq
Temp: 106 F
Baro: 29.21 InHg
Humidity: 77 %
Ballistics calculated on iSnipe iPhone app
all 5.56 weapons tested with Mk 262 LR 77gr BC .340 frag threshold 2300 fps
all 7.62 weapons tested with M118LR 175 gr BC .490 frag threshold 2345 fps
S denotes a suppressed weapon
M/V obtained through avg of 5 rds at 10 ft

Check out the fragmentation range on the 13" Mk17. I didn't even know 7.62mm would fragment. Apparently 5.56mm is more effective close in and 7.62 only becomes more useful once both calibers are outside their frag threshold due to it's higher energy and bullet weight.
