The surplus .30-06 is definitely on the way out. It just isn't made any more and we are exhausting the last foreign stockpiles. I have 3 Garands and plenty if Lake City and HXP ammo and brass. But if I were in your shoes getting my first one it would be a serious consideration to go .308. You can still buy cheaper ammo like the battle packs of Priv Partisan and I believe some steel cased brands.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
