Here is what I can tell using only information from the Ultimate Visual guide, Rogue One, and Wookiepedia.
Cassian has an A280-CFE. It is modular and easily field stripped to be a hand blaster, assault rifle, or sniper.
The A-300 physically looks exactly like Cassian's rifle, but it is not designed to be field modular.
The A-300 sniper variant has an added barrel shroud and an extra or different piece above the forward hand grip to help connect the shroud.
Other rebels carry variants or duplicates of Cassian's weapon in the movie and are shown in the Visual guide and other media, but they are not called out as being a specific model number.

It looks like Rogue one is making their guns from the parts of real guns - and I think it's really cool they are going back to that. Part of this gun looks like it was made from the lower of an AR15. Does it look like that to anyone else?
It's stripped down Cybergun M4/AR15 airsoft. It looks exactly the same, especially the slide-in socket for the sliding stock.
kind of in that 85% scale ballpark?
I've just repainted the full rifle version and was curious how it would compare.
I've just now gotten around to checking out the Cassian blaster on display at DHS Launch Bay, and I'm not sure if it had been pointed out but the rifle has those snap/press in swivel sling mounts on the left/non-ejection side of the receiver. Also had to come home and repaint my Nerf rifle, I had mine much more dominantly silver, while the one on display has more black. Overall it's a pretty varied paint job, and all the blasters seem to vary from one appearance to the next
Personally i think that Cassian does not have a personal side arm that he favors. He just takes whatever fire arm is at hand when he goes out on a mission.
I've since come to terms with the fact that my Nerf blaster isn't accurate in sculpt/scale anyway, so the variation in its paint job isn't a big deal either. Every blaster would wear differently anyway really.
Here's an album of the pictures I got from DHS at the Launch Bay (hope this works)
