Folks here on TFL have commented that the .308 makes a better target rifle than the .30-'06. I've never worried over a .308, so I dunno.
The .308 would take a short action, which would be a tad stiffer. It is generally more efficient with a shorter barrel than would be best for an '06. So, you could get a heavy or heavy-fluted barrel of around 20" or 22"; again, stiffer than a 26" tube.
Before spending any money, why not hunt some back issues of the magazine catering to BR shooters? (Dunno the exact name.) Contact some of their folks? Maybe they have a web site?
FWIW, Art
