Semiauto rifles are very uncommon in calibers beefier than .308. 300 Winchester magnum is the most common "next step up" from .308. The M110 SASS (.308) has an effective range of 875 yards; the M2010 is bolt action and rated effective to 1300 yards. High Tech lists the FN BAR Magnum in 300 WM with recoil 4. That's a detachable magazine semiauto, but I doubt you'll be doing much rapid fire with that recoil.
