Got a quick price from a gunsmith today.

Cut and recrown barrel = $100
Cut and thread barrel = $110
Supply and fit new chrome moly barrel = $740

Still procrastinating about it. If I went to the trouble of changing barrels I would maybe stick with the long barrel and swap to 6.5 CM, apparently It's a fairly easy conversion? This would be my range gun.
I could then look around for a cheap more portable 308.

Hmm, first world problems.
