Slightly less kick than a 30-06 (10%). Very slightly less velocity (5%). Shorter case allows for smaller throw on the bolt for faster followup shots. 308 is available on modern semi-auto rifles, 30-06 not so much. 308 is basically better in every single way than 30-30 unless you really want the lever action.
Both 30-06 and 308 are good out to about 600 yards, but if you want to reach out and touch someone further away, I'd recommend something more boutique such as 6.5 creedmoor (308 with better ballistic coefficient bullets) but you can still find modern guns such as a CMMG or PSA AR10

Thanks. Exactly what I was trying to figure out.
Boutique? I've been thinking about .280 AI for a year. I should just pull the trigger.
