Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Help Choosing between 30-06 and .308 in Browning BLR

I want the BLR as a compact all purpose hunting rifle out west with ability to get elk within 300 yard.
As a cartridge I like the .308 over the 30-06 in all respects but the only thing that makes me entertain the 30-06 is that the BLR in .308 has 1:12 rifling and the one in 30:06 has 1:10 rifling.
Please help me decide.
