I was seriously looking at the VZ58 but now I think I have to see how this turns out! hopefully they'll be cheaper than the VZ58.

SO when they say its manufactured in Canada, what does that really mean ? Is the gun simply assembled from part kits shipped in from over seas ? or is parts like the receiver and barrel actually machined out right here in Canada ??

IMHO It's unlikely/unnecessary that they have to mill out every single little part brand spanking new in Canada, with Canadian level wages.
Unless the source of a particular part is running dry, then an alternative would need to be sourced (or made).

So... I'm guessing that you've never actually held a round of 6.5 Creedmoor in your hand or even seen a picture of it next to a round of 5.56 or 7.62x39?

Yeah, it's longer because it's a necked down .308. But they're designing a new rifle so multiple versions in different calibers isn't an unreasonable request. If they made a Creedmoor version they could also make a .308 version which would be beautiful

A purpose made, Canada built vz58 pistol with 10 round vz 58 magazines would be great.

That would probably require a whole new magazine though wouldn't it?
And correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there can be many design changes without a new FRT

I'd imagine it would require more than just a new magazine, although that factor alone would make this project pointless because nobody wants $100+ proprietary mags. There may also be issues regarding action length, ejection port size, and a change to pressures at the gas port. Probably other things too...
Can we get a ballpark price for this yet??? I need to know if this is on the want list or not before i spend my money on something else!
This. I'm debating pulling the trigger on a VZ right now, but if these are going to be priced well I'll wait and buy one of these.

Because of 10rd AK pistol mags
I dont know what fantasy world youre in, but kvar and other importers have been bringing in many thousands of ak mags for decades to the States. If they cost what they cost in the states, with a market many times our own, some special snowflake rifle up here will not justify importation in the millions and bring prices down to whatever level you imagine.
I would like to see where you think that these magazines cost so little.

AK mags used to be cheap in the U.S., at least in the early '90s surplus ones could be had for as little as $5, maybe less if you bought in volume. Then came the '94 AWB, the Norinco ban, various other import restrictions, and bam, you have a highly artificial market.
Heck look what AKs themselves now cost in the U.S., the good ones especially.
