The .223/5.56 version exists now. It's called the Ruger American Ranch Rifle. 16.1" stiff barrel, threaded, with 1:8 twist.
The barrel is marked "5.56", but rumor has it there's a Wylde chamber hiding in there.
All I know is mine is a very accurate little rifle. I found a load with 64gr bonded BTSP over 24.5gr of Varget that will shoot under 1/2" @ 100yds all day as long as the nut behind the scope does his part.

Mine lives on my tractor when I'm out on my ranch and propped up by the door when I'm home. grin
