Does a (repro) ZF-41 count?
I did a full-blown build based on a Brno Mauser 98 in the late 1980s that I was still working on into mid-90s. Finished just in time for the Steyr Scout to hit the market. I still have it though -- she's a good shooter. Mostly shot with a red-dot sight these days.
I did some rethinking on the concept after I bought my Kimber 84M Hunter and watched Lucky Gunner's video:
With light, compact electronic sights available, my idea now was that instead of backup iron sights I'd have a dual sighting system to quickly swap between when desired, favoring the conventionally mounted LPVO:
The Warne QD levers make good registration guides to maintain reasonable zero between swaps, and the cheapo Burris TRS-25 also has an aftermarket QD lever. Basically the red dot is a backup for very low light or in case of damage to the Weaver LPVO. The barrel has been slightly shortened, but she's otherwise stock. The loaded weight is under 3 Kgs.
