Or will it have to be a custom job? Looking for something that I think doesn't exist. It's a .223 bolt rifle, takes AR mags, has iron sights, 16-18" heavy barrel, and easy to set up as a scout rifle. Something "all-weather" is also on the list. I'd say the Mossberg MVP, but it doesn't have irons and the stock is wood (I think). There are tons of rifles out there that fit most of the bill, but no others that I know of that take AR mags. Just got to thinking that'd be a sweet scout rifle if someone makes it. But more than likely for the price, it's cheaper and easier to just get mini-14 on your hands :/
