Barreled action options for an MPA BA comp (REM700SA)

I currently have a B14r barreled action in an MPA BA comp chassis as a trainer for plinking and getting used to shooting distance. I eventually want to swap the barreled action out to a centerfire caliber. This is my first rifle build so forgive my ignorance, but what are my options as far as "drop in" barreled actions?

I only have access to shoot out to maximum of 400 yards. I'm leaning towards doing a 6.5 creedmoor with a 22-24" barrel. Is there anything around the price/accuracy of a Howa 1500, but in an R700 footprint?

I want to be able to keep this MPA chassis (R700SA) and swap barreled actions back and forth.

Any help/ recommendations would be great.

If you want a complete barreled action, I would suggest the Bergara Premier over the Bergara B14 series. The upgrades of the Premier are worth it in my opinion.

I'll also suggest a Zermatt Origin and Proof prefit. Almost a barreled action since no gunsmith is needed to assemble.

Both of the above options are Rem 700 pattern and drop right into the MPA BA Comp chassis.
