I suppose you'd have to get the Manners stock with the optional MCS-DBM mini-chassis to get the same stiffness and stability of the chassis in the MDT XRS.
In any case, once you get the action and barrel, you have lots of options on how to best fit the rifle to you.

Readers should note that there are two things that will affect accuracy more than the stock or chassis.
One is the barrel itself. Different factory barrels by the same manufacturer -- CZ, for example -- may not produce the same results. The same is true for aftermarket barrels. They are not all equal. In other words, one barrel can shoot better than another. The other is the ammo. The best results are with lot tested ammo. If random match ammo is used, all bets are off, no matter what rifle or stock/chassis is used.
Without these two important factors taken into account, it's not always possible to determine the role played by stock or chassis in the results.

Its not just about accuracy and pricepoints. Mobil1 got it right. I just want something to enjoy. I could drop another 3 to 5 grand on another put together centerfire rifle that wont get used that often or i can put my money towards a rimfire that i can always use. I have no interest in a tikka. Seems like everyone has a cz. I have 3 very accurate chassis rifles already that i enjoy loading for and trying new combos with.
I have classics like the 9422 and a mint gallery gun rossi 37 which is my all time fav rimfire. Its just not accurate enough nor scoped for what i want.
My plan if i go ahead with this project is first selling off a bunch of things and then finding a very finely figured turkish walnut blank and then sending it off to be shaped and inletted and bedded to the barreled action. Top it off with a Swarovski scope or similar. No different than putting together a nice centerfire rifle. No gaurentees that it will outshoot my savage fv either but id still rather have it walking thru the hardwoods sniping squirrels than a plain off the shelf rimfire.
Some ppl are ok with Jack daniels while i prefer blanton's
Century sam cigar or cao mx2. One is much more enjoyable than the other and yes it comes at a cost but sometimes in life the experience justifies the expense
Lastly my daughter will get to inherit something hopefully meaningful

If you ever get one that has everything you like -- an ultimate rimfire with finely figured walnut stock, 700 footprint, Swarovski scope or something similar -- for a squirrel rifle that your daughter will inherit and appreciate, be sure to post about it. Whichever you choose down the road, Vudoo or RimX, it would be nice to see.

I would add an Annie to your list... something from the 1700 family and many come with really nice walnut stocks.
nice rifles with very classic features.... that can also compete with the best in the world

Totally in agreement with this affirmation from @Glen Barrel is kind of a lottery, for sure with some manufacturer you have more chance to win. One guys in Quebec did a build with and 2500x action and fit a anschutz barrel to is action and getting really good results out of it.
building a rimfire like we want is a different experience than just enhancing an existing one and I totally understand what you are looking for and trying to achieve. Enjoy!!
definitively bot action's are great and would make a solid start for a great build. keep us posted we are already looking forward for components choices and pictures.
