Why not a 250 Savage or a 250AI? Decent speed, mild recoil, cheap brass (just neck up 22-250 brass), and dies are readily available. All you'd have to do is rebarrel, your mag and bolt face should work fine.
To change your gun to a WSSM you would have to rebarrel (of course) and find a left hand .532" Bolt Head for a Short Action. Don't know how easy or hard that would be, never looked for one.
Just my $0.02 and $0.02 ain't worth much :)
