I don't think a 300WM will even fit in that particular action. But, if it does, you'll need the bolt face opened up, the barrel rechambered and the smith will have to make it all feed right. Probably cheaper to buy one.

The 308 would be a short action Rem 700 and a 300WM would be a long action Rem700.
Bare Rem 700 actions are not all that expensive and are available from places like MidwayUSA and Brownells.
