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

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

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.

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
