Your biggest cost will be the barrel. You will need a different baffle on the bolt if you want a short action throw on the bolt. The bolt face should be the same. You may even be able to find a lightly used barrel that fits your needs without any additional machining. There should be magazines for .308 in the long action available as I believe it was available from the factory that way.
Of course I could be totally wrong on this...
