the .308 is just a shorter, but higher pressured cartridge with ballistics the same as a .30-06, was just to get the same performance from a physically smaller cartridge (same way a 9mm equals the energy of a 45acp, while being smaller)...
as for military surplus rifles, i would prefer a project, so a barreled action is all i would require to install new springs, refinish, maybe replace a couple parts here and there... and with my years of carving wood by hand i would have absolutely no problem carving a new, military style stock
