I prefer the .308 over the 30-06 and they ARE NOT exactly the same, even though some have posted such...take the cartridges and place them next to each other, the 30-06 has more gun powder but the .308 shoots at a less of an arch and in more planed....the 30-06 arches more and, in my experience less accurate...go with the .308
Please explain how the .308 Winchester "arches" less than the .30-06. Everything I have personally seen and read points to the opposite. Just look at factory ballistic tables and you will see that when identical bullets are used, the .30-06 drops less.
