Here's the Steyr's little brother, a CZ452 in .22LR.

I did see a moderated stutzen in a shop not too long ago. Looked like blasphemy...

A mate of mine has a BSA Stutzen in .243 he's no longer using, so it's available.

one from the bargain basement end of the market.......
I have always wanted one since BSA made the airsporter stutzen in my formative years, but could never afford one. I got a slot for .308 a couple of years ago and looked around. Ended up calling in at a shop in the borders who had one upstairs, which had come In from a retired ranger but no one wanted so it was hidden away.
£125 for my ‘starter stutzen’ . I figured I would decide whether I really want one and then buy a better one anon. 3 yrs on I still have it. It’s old, slightly worn but the bolt closes with a noise like an old safe or the doors on a Saab 900. Reassuring.
it is a Mauser actioned zastava - no frills but still a nice rifle.but like mrs bouquet, I probably call it a Mauser and omit the zastava part.
it is light, so great to carry, but a lot of muzzle blast and I never see the shot hit like I do with the 243. Have taken several red and roe with it and For an old un the 1 1/2-2” group at 100yd is fine. But it might group better with a cross har scope rather than running boar type reticle. It took some sorting out to stop wildly wandering poi which was cured by a few business cards under the barrel ( it doesn’t have a metal end cap like some) thanks to kelnchbaize I think, for that.
most Of my stalking now is over clear fell so at longer ranges so I mostly use the 243 but I love having this one in the cabinet and for large, lowland reds at closer ranges it is ideal.
