But not necessarily 1/2 moa and maybe 1/7th of the price lol

Not gunna get it done for 1/7th of the price. Thats roughly $1000. Sounds good but if you're expecting any quality at all its going to be more than that.
I agree 1/2 moa is not necessary but a well thought out design should have no problem achieving 1 moa or better.
MDT would be the best place to start for the chassis design and would provide a good balance of quality and price. Only problem is a new receiver would have to be designed for this rifle. If they simply took any existing manufactures receiver and applied it to this new bullpup rifle the RCMP would classify it as a conversion and therefore be deemed prohibited. The R&D for a new chassis and receiver to build it would account for nearly $1000 of its price tag with an additional minimum of $1500 more for the rifle build itself. I think my original estimate of a $2500 price tag is more than realistic and not out of reach for a lot of customers.

Exactly my point. And I have a good feeling you and I are just the start of this kind of reaction. The flood gates for sales will surely open

If they tried to use as many commonly available parts and made them in large enough numbers I would like to think they could come in cheaper than that, if ATRS can make the modern varmint sporter for around that price a bolt gun should be a piece of cake. AR grips, and forends, maybe 700 barrels and bolts. Maybe partner up with MDT for the chassis? (If they even have time, they sure seem to be busy churning out great stuff!). The fire control group could be tricky, people will demand a good trigger. I hope someone makes one, preferably a Canadian company, multi-calibre would be great but not if affects the price drastically.

Yes I think it could be done a little cheaper than my estimate but I'm still looking for as many quality components incorporated as possible. I'm talking solid lightweight chassis, good trigger and good barrel. No need to start buying higher quality components the day you bring your new rifle home. As far as a multi caliber system being expensive there is no need for it to be. If you stick with the savage style barrel nut system like I suggested you can't get much cheaper and it is relatively simple to do the swap. Savage has been using this system on their rifles and it plain and simply works and I don't see expensive Savage rifles because of it
 
A serbu knock-off fore grip would be pretty easy. Serbu isn't interested in the Canadian market.

Plus Savage pre-fit barrels from good barrel makers are available already. If you still can't get what you want they are easy enough for anyone to make one for you.
 
I would really like either another 9mm offering or a 7.62x25, a pistol calibre carbine is something that has been missing from my collection for a while. I'd love for whatever it could be to have wood, there are a lot of different plastic furniture options. Though honestly if it looked cool I'd probably buy it either way.
 
A modern, semi-automatic Non-AR rifle that uses AICS pattern magazines. It would be non-restricted with unlimited magazines capacity.
 
vz58 in 5.45x39 using a common mag like a ak-74 mag
vz-58 in 308 or 7.62x54
NR 308 battle rifle that use pmags
7.62x54 scout rifle that no more the 6 pounds
vz-58 DMR using a HB side mount compatible
pistol caliber vz-58
just to name a few

Any pictures of this idea rifle.

Dont know how to post pics yet but I just found something to give you an idea. Not quite what I was thinking but pretty close. Needs something a little better to partially cover the receiver for protection as well as a better cheek rest.
Google XLR Industries Bullpup Chassis. Very little info or pictures on this as nothing ever became of it. There is a thread on www.ar15.com with a picture. Now the XLR chassis is shown with a Remington 700 and we all know that is not a possibility for us but I see no reason this type of rifle can't be a reality with a new receiver purpose built for this project.
 
Another suggestion that has to be thrown out there............Although it would be a HUGE project to take on, and would require lots of investments im sure...... but SOMEBODY at some point NEEDS to produce a NR Dragunov looking rifle for this country. Chambered in 54R of coarse. But .308 would be sweet too.

2500 sounds like a lot when another place can make an ultra high end NR semi auto for 3400.

2500 would still knock a lot of people from the market.
