They are meant for different scenarios, like their real-life counterparts. the M1 Garand is used in mid-range combat against a small amount of enemies. The Ratslayer is a long-range hunting rifle meant for silent operations against single enemies or even groups. The M4A1 is a short-range weapon used as a simple assault gun. Since it is semi-automatic, it is the easiest to use, but it is the least effective in the hands of a skilled player.

In terms of fire power per shot the Battle Rifle will win as it uses .308 rounds, as opposed to the other 2 rifles using 5.56mm rounds. Having that said, an automatic assault rifle is useful when you don't wanna VATS everything in your path.

why are we comparing them?

Battle rifle is a non-unique variant of the "this machine" Not really a fan but if you want a load gun that does decent damage at medium ranges its not too bad. This machine being better.

the Ratslayer is.....the unique varmint rifle its pretty good for sneak attack criticals but other guns suit its purpose better, notably christines.

The service rifle, the unique one as I recall is the survivors rifle from honest hearts. the service rifle is pretty garbage. the marksmen rifle is the same ammo type, same purpose and has the unique variant all american and if you are skilled in guns preforms much more decently. (or less skilled but take some steady)

the Survivor's rifle.... which I generally load with JHP rounds does gobs of damage to unarmored targets. your Tunnelers, you Cazadores, your Nightstalkers and works with Grunt Perk.

Dunno if you are including the unique variants here or not. but these gun types aren't really to be compared
