Have you considered building on Savage actions?
Yes, the receiver will be a bit longer than absolutely needed, but mounting the barrel is very easy and Savage has a fine reputation for accuracy.
I converted my .243 Win Model 16 to 20 Grendel last year and it shoots fairly well. You can look at it in a bit more detail here: http://shootersnotes.com/articles/20-grendel/ .
Once started, you could offer a neat line of switch barrels -- all based on the Grendel and running from 20 Grendel through a .338 version.
The customer could order the basic rifle with the 6.5 Grendel with the option of one or more barrels in the other calibers.
