I built mine on a Stevens 200 action (same as a Savage 10). The action housing itself is the only thing that has not been replaced. Oh how peaceful life is when You decide You don't need a repeater/ magizine. Isn't that what AR's are for 
? JM,JS. That hole in the bottom of My action is filled with a single shot follower. Simplifies things greatly. And the coal can be 4" if You like. If You don't fire it, just take the bolt & the cartridge out the back. Of course this won't be an issue with the Grendel.
I shot it for almost 2yrs with the 308 bolt head, and it worked fine. I have since bought a separate bolt and installed the ppc bolt head and ejector, I just swap out the whole thing. I have an ER Shaw barrel, blue laminate thumbhole stock, Rifle Basics Savage II trigger, it is mostly SS with a silver scope. It is a short action.
Rather the Stevens 200, the Savage 10, or the short action Axis will and has worked fine for many. I suggest looking for a used donor to not waste money on parts Your going to remove and not use anyway.
All these systems use the barrel nut, and chamberings can be swapped at will. This can become addictive. At last count I have 16 barrels. Enjoy the journey.
