Other considerations aside, you can't "rechamber" a 7.65x54 to .308 Winchester; the original chamber is already too big. You can re-barrel, or (within limits) set the original barrel back. Some of those rifles may have been altered by another means, one that IMHO presents potential problems.
The accompanying photo shows a barrel altered by use of a chamber insert; these will work, but I have serious qualms about the effects of high pressure gas working on the gap between the insert and the original barrel.
If the barrel is not new and has not been set back, I suggest your gunsmith check for the presence of an insert.
