Flippin' the coin
I'd go with the .308 only because it's my personal choice. Having said that, the '06 is a great round, time proven and still effective after 99 years as a contender in the market. The advantage to a .308 is less likelyhood of shortstoking the bolt for a new bolt shooter, but that's only a problem if you're not familiar with your rifle. As for mag fed vs. blind mag, I prefer blind mags on my hunting rifles only because that's one less thing to think about if oyu're presented with a last minute hunting opportunity. Overall, for general purpose use, I'd go with the '06 in a blind mag.
