I have both. I prefer the 30-06. It is more versatile for an all around hunting rifle cartridge with a bigger bullet selection. It is definitely better with heavier bullets. Recoil is modest with 150g bullets. For deer size game with 150-165g bullets, the 06 will give you about an extra 100 to 200 fps. The accuracy advantage of the 308 is modest in comparably loaded cartridges and would be advantageous in a high power match, but not in the field.
