What about the FAL? I guess they were originally wood and steel so I guess it counts. AR-10?
Good stuff.

DI POF Resolution IN 308 would be my ideal choice for a battle rifle.

Main Battle Rifle...chambered for a full powered...not intermediate...cartridge such as .30-'06, 7.62x51, .303 Brit, 6.5x55 Swede, 7.62x54, 8mm Mauser and others. A MBR can be bolt-action like a 1903 Springfield or semi-auto like an M1 Garand. It does not have to be select-fire nor does it have to have a detachable magazine.
My 1853 Enfield is a Main Battle Rifle, but for this discussion, I would say the FAL wins the prize (and the Cold War).
Not a battle rifle, that’s a new rifle- however still very cool rifle though. They aren’t the same as the original BAR, they seem to be more of a spiritual successor.
If you can't afford (or willing to pay for) the SCAR, the FNAR is a good bet. Not sure why it doesn't get as much love, but it's MD legal and super accurate out of the box.

I have a SAR-48...the Springfield Armory version of the FN-FAL. It's an awesome rifle but heavy. Push come to shove if a battle rifle was needed I'd pick my Armalite AR-10 or Colt LE901SE...they're each lighter and better handling and use P-Mags which are plentiful and easy to source.
Now...from a fixed position using a bipod...the SAR-48 would shine.

No love for the SCAR-17?
I have, or have owned most of the offerings in the "battle rifle" category and am convinced the SCAR is best out there with the caveat that you need to be willing to spend the $$$ on an optic that will hold up to it.
