You didn't state what model of rifle. Some barrels are much easier to change and fit than others depending on their design. The cheapest approach is probably to sell the complete 7mm-08 rifle and use the money

I am not much for reloads/handloads...I just buy another box of shells! However; 23 years ago I was deciding between a .308 (Browning) and 7mm-08 (Ruger M-77) and chose the Ruger. I have been very pleased with my choice. Very light recoil, not unlike a .270 I find. Much less than 30-06 or .308. I have used it to hunt antelope in the wide open spaces (Alberta), whitetails in dense Ontario bush

And *if* we ever see action on American soil the "enemy" just might have plenty of 308 to fit that rifle of yours. You'll just have to figure a way to get it. Of course if you keep the 7-08 you may be able to

Hello Pat: Your saving on ammo is 10.50 per box by going to 308. You will need to buy 30 boxes of ammo to break even on this deal since a re-barrel ,done by others, will be approx. 300.00. From what I know about deer hunting, this will represent a 60 year ammo supply. Hardly worth it. The two rounds are virtually identical ballistically as you point out. If the 10 buck savings is really irritating

That means you'll start saving money after 800 rounds. I don't know how much you shoot, but it's probably not worth it.

If you run the numbers, I suspect you will find that it would take a hell of a lot of ammunition to amortize the cost of the conversion. My approach would be to go to a gun show and sell the 7mm and buy another gun in .308. Habits and practices vary - of course - but at 57 - I would never live

At 50 cents per round difference, and at a cost of (guessing) $300, the break-even point is 600 rounds. Unless you hunt a lot, and shoot a lot of rounds, the payback for a rebarrel will be beyond your lifetime
