With the 84M off the table, who makes a trim light, stainless rifle in .223 or similar cartridge?

And does anyone make such a rifle with a modern twisted barrel with magazine suited for length?

Bet if asked in the “hunting rifle” forum you’d get a lot more serious answers.

Yeah... Actually thought i did

Looked and looked at hunting rifles forum when i got in from my walk a while ago...

Howa.

Howa is about the only reasonable answer.
