Medium Weight 20" match 5.56/.223 barrel's: Where are they?

Long story short:
I'm looking for a medium weight 20" 1/7 twist quality AR barrel and they don't seem to exist.
Normally the answer is turn key WOA, Craddock, or CLE [RIP], but not this time.
What are the options out there?
Details:
I'm building a general purpose 20" AR in 5.56/.223 that needs to be usable [weight wise] in the field. But it also needs to be accurate and able to shoot groups without heating up too quickly.
I'm going for something like an accurized M16A5 concept or lightweight SAM-R... So no flutes.
Criteria:
I need the barrel to be match quality, be under 2.75lbs, have a .750 gas block diameter, and I'd prefer 1/7 twist.
Everything I can find seems to compromise on one or more of my criteria.
This Lilja looks like the closest thing I can find, but I'll have to accept the 1/8 twist, which should be fine for 77gr pills, but I'd prefer 1/7. Also, it's a premium.
What else is there?

Let’s just say if this is true…..oh boy.
It wasn't the first or second shot, but it was the last

My son had an interesting adventure over the weekend mule deer hunting. He broke the trigger guard and trigger while shooting at a mule deer (recoil slammed trigger guard into a rock he was laying over). What was fortunate for him , is that the gun still functioned after the damage shown, and he was able to put the finishing shot on a mule deer at 700 yards with the rifle. (Buddy was not hunting nor did he have a rifle).
It's not huge, but it will eat good, and any more, any deer in this State is a good deer (communist mismanaged state of WA). Department of No Fish and Wildlife, but I digress.
7mm Remington Magnum factory VSSF 162 Amax 71.4 grains Retumbo Fed 215.
It is the most tender liver I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a few in 50 + yrs of hunting.
Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of hydraulic damage, even at distance. I'll have to look at the ballistic program and see what the impact velocity was.
Recovered under the hide on the off side while skinning

Just got this in the mail to give it a try. It's a HUB to garden hose adpater. Soak your sealed can and then blow out the crud with a water hose. Seems like it should be much less messy!
And attached to my Scythe.

Bought this as a CTR new, had it cut to 16.5” and put 120 rounds max, through it. It shoots 140 eld at .5” 2500 fps.
130 sgk factory ammo ran 2600 fps.
Action does not have a scope rail on it. Tossed the factory one a while back and never got around to getting a 20 moa.
Just not going to finish this project.
$575 shipped for the action.
$125 for the barrel.

Been a while since I shot factory ammo. Thought I’d change that. Shot some old melty boys (yeah, been a while) and noticed something….wish they still did this. It was pretty cool while it lasted.
