I was looking at a new Sig 716 while waiting for my roommate at Academy today and instantly fell in love with it. The one thing that I wasn't sure of those was the lower said "7.62 NATO". Would this be safe for .308 as well or would I have to stick with 7.62x51 only if I end up getting it at some point soon

I personally wouldn't but other people do so it just depends on you and your gun.
I went ahead and got a quick google search in while on my dinner break, and the evaluation test I read from http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=1290&page=2 implied that they shot .308 and 7.62x51 through it
You will get some very rabid responses on both sides of this question. Personally, I believe the NATO stuff is preferred. Most .308 ammo in the 165 gr and lighter should be ok, SHOULD. Avoid the the "light magnum" superformance kind of stuff.
