[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1499592, member: 4235"] I pretty much agree with glocktogo's definition, but I don't believe a battle rifle has to be semi or select fire. I think the term originated from back when all battle rifles were bolt action. I consider the mil surp bolt actions to be battle rifles, too. The characteristic that delineates them from hunting rifles is that a battle rifle is designed to be loaded quickly (i.e., with stripper clips if you're talking about a bolt gun). Battle rifles also are generally designed to be quickly and easily field stripped. [/QUOTE]
