For SOCOM money you could get two Saiga308v21's with real wood thumbhole stocks

I do believe that the SOCOM uses a slightly different Gas cylinder system. I think that piston is shorter.

Check out the LMT .308
A truely modern battle rifle. Just add some rail covers and a scope and it's GTG.

You said you wanted a SHTF rifle (versus a take-me-to-the-prom rifle), so I'd go for a high-quality light-weight milspec AR15. Easy to scavenge parts for, dependable platform, easy-to-find ammo. Don't worry about "match-grade" crap or hanging all kinds of doo-dads on rails, because you're just worried about whether it will go bang when you pull the trigger.

I suggest you stop using terms like SHTF. We don't do SHTF, EOTWAWKI, or Zombie threads. Bringing those terms into the thread is taking a chance on getting it closed. Most of us don't plan on going into battle.

For a good battle ready AR15 look into.
BCM, LMT, Colt, Daniel Defense, Noveske and KAC.
These are no nonsense weapons. A properly built AR15 is a very reliable weapon with a need for lubrication every so often. A good 5.56 hollow point or soft point is a very devastating bullet.
For the .308s the M1A, FAL, and G3 models are also very good selections.

.308 is meh, 7.5 Swiss is where its at.
If you have some money to burn buy the Rolls Royce of 20th century battle rifles, the Sig PE57. I'd certainly own one if my communist state would let me.
The LMT .308 and LWRC Repr are pretty nice rifles as well. With battle rifles they are all good, so it just comes down to personal preference.
