Whether you need a 5.56 or a 308 depends what you intend to shoot. A .308 is intended for larger game like deer and elk.
Winchester model 100 (rifle) in 100% shape is worth $550.00 in the 308 caliber. Winchester model 100 (carbine) in 100% shape is worth $795.00 in 308 caliber. If you find a model 100 in the 284 caliber consider yourself lucky and buy it, dinosaur bones are easier to find.
The 30-06 is physically larger. They preform similar, ballistically, though. 30-06 is the answer to your direct question.
Yes, 308 = 7.62. But the 51 part is variable. The first number is the outer diameter of the bullet. This has to be exactly correct to fit the barrel of the gun. The second number, 51, can be different, and may still work.
