Although they aren't available in stainless I'll mention the two Mossberg Patriot Super Bantams I handled in the past month. Both were .243's. Both were equipped with a scope. I was so impressed with the first one that belonged to a friend's wife that I bought one for my granddaughter. The scopes are just ok so I traded out the one on my granddaughter's for a 3-10x40 Weaver Grand Slam I had on hand. They are available in .243,6.5 Creedmore,7mm-08,.308,and 350 Legend. I'd get one without a scope. All links are just for reference.
