Not sure about matching the 1 MOA aspect!!

Looking at what I have tho I'd go .308 and choose my Imbel FAL for semi and Rem 760 (pump) for my rifle. I know both weapons pretty well and reckon I could survive with those even without major cleaning. Both will stretch out to quite long ranges if need be.

I would have to allow myself some foraging potential so as to improvise re lube at least - truck dipstick probably - and that would be part used for external protection. A piece of rag and a straightened out coat hanger would do for a bore treatment at a push.

The FAL would go 400 rounds without needing a gas valve clean up I would expect.
