MARSOC has purchased the M110C conversion kits, which includes a 16" barreled upper with a new URX, Magpul ACS stock, and a short suppressor. Australia is getting an HK417 variant for their Marksmanship Rifle System. Brits have been using the LMT 7.62 NATO, while New Zealand is also adopting it. 7.62 NATO carbines based on the Stoner system are becoming the standard.
MV difference between the 20" guns and 16" averages 80fps, so not worth the barrel length. With 175gr, they are supersonic plenty far. Receiving sniper-specific ammo is a problem, even for units in SOCOM when deployed.
