The savage long action would definitely be overkill for a Grendel build. You'll end up with a lot of space in the mag. which could cause feeding problems. Also, the bolt face diameter will be larger than the Grendel case diameter which will cause ejection problems. I'm doing a build on a Savage short action, mod 12, but I'm building a 6.5 Creedmoor. For a long action with a 6.5 I'd build a 6.5x55 Swede, 6.5-284 or a 26 Nosler. I understand you got a good deal on the action but the Grendel is not a good match.
