I have a medium-heavy barrel and found my best results were that of copying the M118LR round with 175gr (SMK) HPBT and I get around the same as the stated 2580fps.

Are these straight-pull?

Got to admit that I do really like the look of the IDF M14 MLR (Winchester).
Yes
I do wonder how legal they are ?

Here's my version, but not really long range as it only has a 4x scope. I shoot it to 400 yds and could go further with a spotter but my wife refuses to go to the range and I usually have the 550 yd range to myself when I go during the week. The mount is a Bassett, doesn't need all the black magic and hoo-doo in mounting it that some of the other scope mount makers require.

Showing the Bassett mount. The best and easiest way to mount a scope on an M14/M1A

Its companion piece: DSA 58 with their scope mount. Not a bad shooter but a very heavy trigger. The scope mount is a copy of the South African mount. Very steady.
