In that case, these two would be my suggestion -
choose.tikka.fi
www.browning.com
I know he is a bigger guy, and at first a shorter LOP seems like it wouldn't work, but in my LE training with patrol carbines and ar-pistols, the short LOP makes them much, much better for maneuverability in and around vehicles, and the 20" barrel of these rifles keep them even more compact. The Browning micro midas x-bolt is just over 38" OAL, and the Tikka t3x compact is about 40" OAL, so very handy packages. In .243, 6.5 cm, or 7mm-08 you will have plenty of power and good factory ammunition choices. For your circumstances, these are what I would look at personally.
