Battle rifles are full-sized rifles either in semi-automatic only or select fire configurations and are chambered for full-powered cartridges. The difference between a battle rifle and a designated marksman rifle is often only one of terminology with modifications to the trigger and accuracy enhancements; many of the battle rifles on the list are currently still in use and have been repurposed as designated marksman rifles.

For intermediate-powered rifle cartridge firearms (e.g.: 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm, 5.8×42mm, and 7.62×39mm) see List of assault rifles.

Below is the list of automatic rifles and battle rifles.
