Yep. I was looking at the M70.
I also looked at the Ruger Gunsite Scout, and I like the concept, but that barrel is awfully short at 16" and I don't think I want another Ruger.
A 16" barrel is far more versatile if you're actually worried about SHTF. The more compact you can make a firearm the better, it'll handle in a wider variety of situations especially urban environments and from vehicles. Even with a short 16" barrel a .308 will still be effective well beyond 300m in a defensive situation. However, if you find yourself in a SHTF situation you'll want to be mobile, and again a more compact package improves the mobility.
