Browning Shortrac, Winchester SXAR, at one time the FN FNAR and finally the Fightlight SCR. The Fightlight uses traditional AR uppers but the lower looks like a traditional rifle action.

I'd love to see a slick repeater like a mini bar, or 742. Have freedom guns but would like a slick clean svelte autoloader for hunting. Had a mini years ago that just didn't cut it, the vq evolution was super heavy. Would be nice to have a modern sleek sporter, even for those of us who are free.
Benelli made their R1, it was pretty slick looking. I never saw or handled one though.

They had one with a pistol grip that I actually saw in person at a show 10+ years ago for a price that would be high even today. They had pictures of a sporter r1 223 with a standard stock, looked for a few years and never found one.
Thats a high capacity bed . You should be ashamed !
Actually check out the Browning catalog. Maybe at one time had military origins but seems to have moved on.
Mini 14 is a fantastic rifle however based on the military M-14 so looks like a military rifle. That notwithstanding would be a super rifle.
The original BAR , browning automatic rifle, was a full auto capable 30-06 used in at least one World War . 18lbs of hand held fury . Guy I worked with in the sporting goods industry had one.
The modern BAR isn't anything similar to the original ,except by name. Browning wisely just borrowed a name with recognition to help sell their comp for the Remington 742.
