I'm a big fan of the M1 Carbine. Small, not heavy and easy to manuver in a vehicle. A woman or teen could easily handle it.
For pure shtf stuff, and keeping the cost down, it looks like the SKS holds on for the win. Clearly, the M1 Carbine would have been the winner if the cost differential wasn't so much. If fun to shoot were the deciding criteria, the Carbine would win hands down. Unfortunately, shtf and fun constitute an oxymoron.
