... the MSR lineup ... I do hate the use of acronyms presented without full use in the 1st mention within an article. Anybody care to enlighten me? I doubt if it is Main Stream Rifle, but I could be wrong.

They were talking about a lineup of other peoples' wives.

I don't think they mean
Remington MSR. It's a bolt action.
They probably made up MSR to mean Multi-Shot-Rifle, but so is a bolt-action.

I’m sure the writers at HuffPO would explain it’s for Million Shot Rifle. You do know what HuffPo stands for?

I think MSR really stands for “Military-Style Rifle.”

That was drilled into me in English and writing classes back in Junior High and High School. Nobody seems to know how to write nowadays.
MSR stands for Modern Sporting Rifle and I hate that term. It almost sounds like the wordplay leftists use to skirt an issue. I think that term was coined to make them sound more appealing.

Like “... ditch traditional rifle set-ups in favor of modern sporting rifles? The biggest benefit to the AR, or modern sporting rifle” in the first two paragraphs?
