Howdy Bighead,
First of all, The M1 only matches must be fired with a M1 in 30-06 to count for record.
I beleive you can use a 308 but, would not count for record.
The barrel must also be of standard issue weight and contour.
Kreiger makes such a match barrel with those demensions.
For the purposes you describe above, I would get a CMP rack grade woodless and build from there. You'll want to get a nice new walnut stock like a Boyds or even a weinig if ya go first class.
Others will chime in soon I'm sure. If I can be of further help, just let me know.
