No, of course not. But you can get a handy lever action 30-30 that weighs the same with a 22 inch barrel.
To each as they prefer. In a .308, I like at least a 20 inch barrel. I had a H&K semi version of the G3. It has an 18 inch barrel. I was appalled at the lousy ballistics that I was getting out of that tube.
It also handled like a brick. Sounded great on paper. I got rid of it.
