I'm aware of rifles from CZ USA, Mossberg, Ruger and Savage.

Know of others?

The ones you mentioned are the common ones.

There are a few more obscure/exotic ones from Germany, such as the Hera H6 or Voere S16.

You can get a magazine adapter to use AR magazines with the Remington 700 action.

And there are a few companies that make true bolt action AR uppers, like the Uintah UPR-15 or Black Collar MBA.

But if you torture the meaning of the term "bolt action rifle", it could theoretically encompass all of the various manual straight-pull AR conversions, which can be as simple as merely removing or crimping off the gas tube.

For fun, I’m pretty sure Remington made a pump rifle that uses AR mags.

True, the 7615. Intended to be marketed to LE agencies who wanted non-evil-looking patrol rifles that mimicked the manual of arms of the venerable 870 shotgun. But along with those minimal benefits came all the drawbacks of a pump shotgun, tied to a price tag several times that of an AR, and without any of the AR's benefits other than caliber and mag capacity.

Not strictly "bolt action", but definitely qualifies in the broader sense of a manually-operated rifle that takes AR mags.

However, it's long discontinued, and a total turd. Don't bother.
