If it were my business I'd start out with ordering a couple SPS Varmint's & Tacticals, in .308 and .223. Then I'd order some McMillian A5's and some AICS stocks. Put them together for a decent price with bolt knobs and pic rails and go from there.
The problem is there are many custom rifle builders with alot of inventory right now, How will you compete with these guys? I think a great niche to start out in is the "affordable tactical stuff". IMHO opinion if you started getting into full blown customs and price points were the same, why would I buy off you when I could go to someone with a current reputation like ATRS for example. What would set you apart from the rest???
Start with the common hot commodity stuff first, and perhaps some parts too... Mags, pic rails, scope mounts, actions etc.

Something different . Talk to the Checks or Chinese and have them produce an "almost" Draganov . The Valmet is way too expensive to convert a look-a-like . Something that would retail around a grand , under 1,500 and they'll sell by the crate non-restricted . A guy in Red Rifles converted a VZ to an "almost" Draganov and 20 pages of guys had an orgasm , except for the caliber . I'll take 3 .
