I dont see why it wouldnt work as that cartridge is similar to the .284/.308 , body size with less taper.With the long action you will be able to unload it without pulling the bolt.I would get a .270,30-06 ,25-06 model and just use the mag as is.It works with the remington actions quite well. You wont get great barrel life with this chambering,I would suggest the .260AI cartridge in a short action instead.It is alot gentler on the barrel.Another one would be 6.5x47 as it has fairly good barrel life.It's your choice,but I would rethink your chambering for the sake of saving money down the road and shortly the new .260 rem brass from lapua will be on store shelves.Look at the loading manuals and compare to see the .260 is real close to it in the first place and buy a barrel in 8 twist so you can shoot heavier bullets.I just built a .260 rem with a shilen select match barrel and stockade stock.It has turned out real well.
