Yes. The Hard Charger will work on any caliber as long as the upper receiver is a standard forged upper and the charging handle size is standard as it would be for a .223/5.56.
In most cases, Yes. Optics such as Aimpoint PRO, ACOG, and many others, with the large mounting knobs, have mounts that are reversible (usually a couple screws on the underside). Switch the knob to the ejection port side (*this will not interfere with the case ejection) and they will work great together.
No.
We ship via USPS. Orders placed Mon-Fri are usually shipped within 48 hours. Back order items ship when available. Orders placed on weekends usually ship within 48 hours of the following Monday.

The different mounts are not different in how they work or which is better.  The mounts are different to work around your optics and use available space on your rail.  So, it all depends on your optic set up and what options you have, or can have, available on your upper's picatinny rail.
