Remington Model 7

I have a Remington modle 7 with a laminated stock chambered in 7mm-08. I mounted a weaver classic 3-10x40 scope on it using leupold rings and single piece base. My question involves the barrel. This rifle is very enjoyable to carry in the woods and is accurate. The problem is the barrel heats up and I have to let it cool after a string of 3 shots. I would like to be able to shoot this rifle more often. I would like to have the rifle re-barrelled and have been thinking of a fluted barrel. Could anyone offer any advice whether this is a good idea or any suggestions as to what kind of barrel I should look at. What rate of twist? I reload for this caliber and use 140gr bullets. Should I stay with a standard 1 in 10?
