That sounds like a great project, on an awesome action.
I bought a used Tikka T3 223 CTR. I found Mountain Tactical https://tikkaperformance.com/product-cat...-t3-t3x-2/
They offer a bunch of upgrades for the T3, to upgrade some of the skimpy stuff on the originals (plastic bolt shroud, aluminum recoil lug), I also got their 20 MOA rail and a replacement bolt handle. I see they were also offering 6.5/.264 Grendel barrels, but those might have been a one time run. I remember seeing a bunch of other replacement barrels they offered a few years ago.
I would think he is limited to AICS mags, with that chassis.
It looks like a great chassis choice and you can use whatever AR stock or grip (mostly, might have to trim beavertail) you want.
OTOH, you are getting into the range of some sweet GRS stocks
