"...may well cost more to rebore and re-rifle..." Definitely would. Machine shops are charging $100 plus per hour and you'd need a smithy with the right equipment.
Rebarreling is the way to go. However, the 7mm Mauser OAL is 296 thou longer than the Roberts so you'll likely have a mag length issue.
