This is an odd question but are there any modern sporting rifles chambered in 54r? Something like a Remington 700, not like a psl or zastava ak type rifle
That big fat rim would be a disadvantage.
We have .30-06.

These are out there, just a matter of who might have one in stock :-(

Modern Sporting Rifle already has a different common usage .
Perhaps * current or recently mfg bolt action rifle of post 1897 design , intended for largely sporting applications , chambered for 7.62 x 54R * would describe what you seek ?
Never say never . But I can say with reasonable certainty - Probably not currently available from a large or medium- ish USA mfg , nor imported any of the usual importation and distribution channels .
But what if you WANT such a rifle on purpose ? Don't dispare . Do as has long been common for Wildcats , and certain factory calibers that had small production runs in the day , but were ahead of their time , and are in more demand now , than when they were standard offerings. -

Re Barell . E.R. Shaw offers OEM quality bbls at very reasonable cost , including installation for very reasonable . You could do that to say , an older used Savage M110 for total investment favorably comparable to many new mfg rifles .
I think a zastava m91 would be the closest thing. A good PU sniper is no slouch though
If you want a sporting rifle in a 7.62x54R class cartridge, you're looking for a Remington/Savage/Ruger etc. in .30-06. That's sort of my point.
