Well it depends on marketing strategy. A small shop is capable of only making so many actions, so the few they make they might as well be profitable and charge as much as they can. I do believe given the US export restrictions, and Remingtons quality standards, that there exists an opportunity for a Canadian dealer willing to produce a decent product in volume for the Canadian market. Something along the lines of what Cooper is doing. You could potentially replace Remington's target/varmint/tactical line with a Canadian made product.
A Surgeon type action, BC Tactical mag kit, Robertson stock, Gaillard/McLennan barrel. Keep it simple in the beginning, .308/.260 Rem/.223/6mmBR. Keep the price under $2000 and they'd fly off the shelf. With todays CNC, Canadian suppliers, our shooting community, I believe it can be done.
