Weatherby Vanguard S2 .308 -> 6.5 Grendel?

I have the Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 rifle in .308 but have decided I don't need that rifle, preferring other calibers for different tasks (.270, 300Wby, 6.5 Grendel).

I'm thinking it might not be straightforward because of the way the Weatherby is set up. Certainly a barrel swap would be in order. But, I'm thinking the receiver (?) would require significant changes.
It would work well.

The easiest magazine system would be a plastic AICS 223 in a DBM which has been slightly modified for good feeding.

The boltface would need to be bushed slightly, but any competent gunsmith could manage that.
