The goal would be a lightweight well balanced bolt action for hunting that can handle any ammo in its caliber, and have an easy fast action.
Straight pull rotating bolt action available as aluminum, SS or titanium for rimfire, and SS or titanium for centerfire. Available as left or right bolt/eject. Barrels available as SS (black or natural matte) or carbon fiber. Threaded, crowned or integral suppressor. Full floating barrel. Optional shrouds with or w/o full pic rail. Pic rail for action. Both pic rails would have folddown pop up iron sight options.
Bullpup chassis - aluminum, with the pistol grip such that it balances more or less at the midpoint with a compact scope, i.e., neither muzzle nor rear biased. The chassis would contain a pull cable link to the sear firing mechanism, with a bell-crank at each end, I have found by experience (AWC G2A) that this mechanism works much better than a push rod mechanism and can be easily routed. The grip attachment point would accept any AR-15 standard grip.
For some calibers mags would be available, or single shot. Mags for rimfire would be Ruger rimfire compatible. Mags for centerfire would be compatible with US milspec or AICS mags, if available. Otherwise the most popular mag for the caliber (e.g., an FN Five Seven mag for 5.7x28).
Mostly I am thinking most rimfire chamberings, and for centerfire - .223, 5.7x28, .22 Hornet, etc. - with twist rates and chamber freebore/lead such that longer/heavier hunting bullets would work well.
The trigger guard would have interchangeable options for size and shape (e.g., for use with gloves). The trigger lever would be available with a interchangeable choice of flat or curved smooth, serrated, checkered. The firing control mechanism would allow for adjustment of the trigger pull weight, reset, etc., and there would be a set trigger option (ala CZ rifle single set triggers).
