Nil. I even e-mailed Colt Canada, but I doubt they'll reply, let alone tell me anything, haha!

They are listed as ~$1,800 in the CGCS government cataloging system WITH the Elcan C79s. I don't know where you're getting this?
You mean the Sûreté du Québec's Groupe Tactique d'Intervention, right?

Oh man, if they well them WITH the Elcan for $1,800, I'd on that like a fat kid in a candy store, but the sad reality that most folks have been hinting at around here is a "Premium Version" that will likely cost a lot more. Besides, $1,800 is probably the "bulk" price that the ### negotiated with Colt Canada. Anyway, despite what everyone says, I'm going to live the pipe dream as some here have said, and hope you're right, at least until Colt Canada finalizes the MSRP.
Exactly! Why should we not be able to buy them sans the sight for $1300ish?

What does a new Elcan go for anyway? I saw a used one with expired tritium go for $600 on EE once...
I think new Elcan C79s go for around ~$800?
The ~$1,800 price I keep seeing in the system is for the C7A2s. Colt Canada has a whole new line of upgrades, including monolithic upper receivers, for their rifles. I'm guessing the price will reflect that.

Ahem....dealer? Haha, any chance you'll be selling these for $1300 or less
$1,300 I seriously doubt, hopefully less then double that. I mean seriously if the Canadian government bought them for $1,800 each and that's in bulk, not to mention the ever rising cost of alloys along with any new upgrades made and finally the fact that these are actual Colt Canada C7's (san's select fire) that cannot be bought anywhere else we'll be lucky if they come in anywhere close to $2,000. It will be a difficult pill to swallow for some when a decent DD rifle is only $1,500 to $1,700, however for others it's a dream come true at any price.
I pray I'm wrong and they are well under $2,000, but like any new product there is always a higher price asked when new to market and after time the price dwindles down as sales do too.

We are on a Canadian firearms site here, talking about the superior Colt Canada C7. Your point is?
By far yes.

The interesting hing about the C7/C8 is how many countries only issue them to SF outfits, while giving their regular forces weapons built at home. While I realize that it has a lot to do with SF compatibility, those nations didn't choose Colt USA - and I would imagine they very well could have, and perhaps paid less for them.

Just because a rifle has seen service does not make it better. The Colt Canada rifles are great, no argument there, but can you really say that the quality or reliability is is better than another reputable manufacturer? What about BCM or Noveske?
