I am a HUGE 223 bolt gun guy, my favorite gun. But mine its a Rem 700 5R with NF scope. Why the issue with iron sights, why not just buy a 20 inch Colt competition or the new/old FN Military collection gun which is bad ass. Its 20 inch, takes a mag and come with iron sights?
Looks like there are options out there.

Nodak makes (or made) iron sights for Ruger Am Ranch .223.
I heard they got bought out by PSA so not sure what their situation is currently.
I’ve seen pics of their sites, looks nice but I think they’re clamp on. So if you’re wanting a survival rifle that can be dropped from a tree and not suffer damage, this might not be it.
For a survival rifle, I’d give the nod to AR mags for being plentiful & cheap. Heck, run a D60 drum for ‘max capacity’...
CZs are great but not cheap, mags included.
Almost bought a Mossberg MVP when I came across one super cheap on clearance at Academy Sports, but for every good post I found on one there was a bad one too.
I have a Ruger Ranch and a Predator, both are AR mag versions. No complaints. The gen II stocks are reinforced a bit better than the older ones.
