Battle Rifles - Scout Rifles: Anyone use them?

[Assist]

I bought the Eidolon way back when and I used it for about 3 kills before I realized it was a mistake. I simply don't see the advantage to using it.

The Artemis however I used for a decent amount of time because it had a nice fire rate and I could use it on my infiltrator. However, they released the SMG's and I no longer had a use for it. I've not used the semi-auto scout rifles much either, only tested with them a bit. Didn't seem like the damage was worth losing from the bolt actions.

I recall them putting it out there that they were going to look into balancing these two weapons fairly early, but like most things it got pushed back. Does anyone use these, for specific situations or even as their main loadout ?
