Nobody wants a 2moa "precision rifle"... besides even cheap bolt guns tend to shoot better than that these days - my 270 axis and 243 Mossberg atr100 are both under $300, and both shoot 1.5" or better if I do my part.
You can get a chassis for a short action axis too, starting at like $400+tax. Gun, chassis and a trigger and you'll have your 2moa rifle for $1k.
I also like the idea of a NR pistol caliber carbine. There are a bunch of options around $1000, but I can't justify that much coin for a plinker gun. If you can make it for $500-600 Id be interested. As for caliber, 7.62x25 certainly has its benefits but I'm not sure if the cheap surplus ammo supply will continue in the future? 9mm is the obvious alternative, but I think I'd want one in 40sw for a bit more oomph for small game hunting.
A pump action in 357mag would be even cooler. Then you could look at scaling it up to 44mag if they are well received?

A modern looking rifle that uses the sks action that fires 5.45x39.
Current sanctions make getting surplus 5.45x39 more expensive then new production 7.62x39,so not really an option right now.ive been looking into getting an AR chambered in 5.45.
7.62x25 carbine,with a NR barrel is high on my "need" list,10 round mags are a plus.make it a take down even better.

Remington 597 chassis
A lighter,modernized version of the Suomi 31 would be pretty cool too.

I think we already have plenty of ar-15's and stuff to bolt on to them. We already have plenty of chassis systems for almost every available target and hunting rifle.
What we do need is something new to us and since bullpup conversions are prohibited how about a new bolt action bullpup rifle? I absolutely love my Tavor and RFB for both ergonomics and the compact size for hunting but we all know the accuracy is not up to par with a bolt action and therefore severely limits it's effective range. Short compact size and ease of handling in the bush with the ability to reach out and touch something when need be. I'm thinking Desert Tech only this one will be affordable to us common folk without the 7K price tag. To keep costs down focus on one standard short action design with the ability to take common AICS magazines. This would cover most types of hunting from 204/223 for varmints and coyote, to 243/6.5 Creedmoor/308 for most large game. No quick change barrel system as most of these are a week point in accuracy potential. Possibly use a Savage style barrel nut system where all one would need to change calibers is a simple wrench and headspace gauges or a different bolt to go from 223 based to 308 based cartridges. I think there is a huge market for this even if it still costs around $2500 bucks as long as it is a quality build and has the user ability to switch between a variety of calibers. Build it and I am in
Omg I'd be so in for a decently price drop bullpup bolt action.
