Right now the Civilian Marksmanship Program (http://www.odcmp.com/) (CMP) is offering refurbished Springfield Armory (http://www.guns.com/tags/springfield-armory.html) M1 Garands (http://www.guns.com/reviews/springfield-armory-m1-garand.html) chambered in both .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester. And because the CMP is a government-chartered program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Marksmanship_Program), they're going for extremely reasonable rates.
CMP rifles are all surplussed US government issue (USGI) rifles (http://www.guns.com/tags/rifle.html) that have been cleaned up and repaired if necessary, and test-fired to make sure they're in good working condition. Each rifle comes with a hard case, a manual and one en-bloc clip. The eagle eyes over at the Armory Blog (http://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/rifles/cmp-special-m1-garands-now-in-308/) found that the CMP has started offering new CMP Special grade M1 Garands in the original .30-06 as well as .308.
