If the rifle is chambered for the .308 Winchester cartridge, then long or short action can safely fire it. Long or short refers to how far the bolt travels when opened. The .308 is typically a short action- the 30-06 and longer cartridges cannot cycle thru a short action, and must be used in a long action rifle.

The long action simply has a longer receiver, to accommodate longer cartridges such as the .270 or .30-06. The .308 should be a short action. I have seen long action .308 rifles before, but these were typically .30-06 rifles rebarreled for the shorter .308 cartridge.
