Decided to rebarrel the Remington 722......

If you're going to go with something else, why not a .260 Remington or a 7-08? Both are relatively low recoil cartridges and either should fit fine in the action if the .300 did?

All that being said, I have a weak spot in my heart for the .300 Savage (own two, both Savage Model 99s) and think of them as a short-necked .308 rather than a juiced up .30-30. I'd leave well enough alone and hand-load up judiciously if I wanted more oomph than I can get from the factory .300 (which are downloaded a bit for the Savage Model 99s).
