The primary difference between a semi-auto rifle and a semi-auto carbine lies in their design and intended use. A semi-auto rifle typically has a longer barrel and is designed for accuracy at greater distances, often chambered for more powerful cartridges. In contrast, a semi-auto carbine generally features a shorter barrel, making it more compact and maneuverable, and is usually chambered for less powerful cartridges. Both operate on the same semi-automatic mechanism, but their specifications cater to different shooting needs.
