Which rifle is better? I am interested in accuracy at long range (approx. 400 yds). I also want to know about ease of use (bolt action, etc.) at a prone shooting position. I am getting into competitive shooting and need to decide which to buy.

Not much difference, I own them both. For competitive shooting I would probably go with the 308, For hunting big game probably the 30-06, you can get it up to 220 grain for larger animals.

The .308, it's what alot of military snipers use. The 308 is also very similar ballistically to the 06 but has less recoil. I happen to be holding a .308 in my avatar.
