A side gate case hardened octagonal barrel 44 mag mare’s leg with skinner peeps and an extra full length stock shipped with, so it can legally be short for packing or longer when needed. I’m picky.
A quick and easy modification to your existing line; add a side loading gate to your all weather series.
What I really want:
Take down.
Short barrel, greater than 306mm, 12.5” to 16”
Large bore, hard hitting cartridge (45/70, 460, etc...).
Stainless steel and synthetic, preferably a Hogue grippy stock. And when I say stainless I mean stainless steel, not some of it, all of it. Think salt water Emerson...
Fibre optic front site. With protective ears.
Ghost ring rear site, with protective ears.
Detachable magazine.
Lever or pump.
Side eject.
Drilled for optic rail.
QD sling cups (3).
Quality recoil pad.
Decent trigger.
Simple safety (half cock on lever or cross bolt on pump) which blocks the trigger when on (I.e.; doesn’t require anything other than taking the safety off to discharge if you forget it on and press the trigger).
Build that and I’ll buy it, rave about it and not even complain on the price...
A better quality AR7 would be pretty awesome or similar takedown rifle. 9mm leaver also sounds cool!
Mares leg .22, full stock, skinner sights.
A take-down 45-70 with 16-18.5” barrel, side load gate (as well as the tube feed Henry is known for), stainless steel components, and skinner peep sights / scope rail.
They who give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

How about a new production rifle based on the Martini action?
You could call them Henry - Martini's and they could be chambered in cartridges that are more available than the 570-450. You could make them a bit more deluxe than your existing single shot line so they wouldn't interfere with each other, think of something like a Pedersoli Sharps rifle but undercut them a bit ($1200 range).
A 20"-24" barreled 303 Brit version would sell pretty well here in Canada, so would 45-70's. A mini action line in 357 Magnum, 22 Hornet, 22LR could be quite popular as well.
Another consideration might be a Snider actioned sporting rifle to give the Springfield trap doors some competition. CAS people could use them in long range matches as well.
