Now thats a gun in a decent calibre for a change.... I would like one too, but i doubt they will ever be available to us.

Thats a serious gun. I bet the optic is more than the rifle.
Hmmm, a bit more realistic for me compared to the KAC one. Even closer to $4000 would still be worth it, I think.
Is it compatible with AR10 lowers?
That will be my third LMT gun once it gets here. :D
I want the better barrel, though.
De-restrict the AR!
For those complaining about DI system, it beat the HK 417 in the accuracy trials...

Yeah, I know, DAMMIT!!!
It would be great if the boneheads in Ottawa would realize that the AR platform is a GREAT modular hunting firearm!
However, I am curious as to why the price differential is as large as it is given the current value of the Canadian dollar. Is it that the market is that small up here that you can't get a reasonable discount off the retail price from the manufacturer?

Does anyone know if the 16" barrelled rifle that won the UK trials equipped with a fixed stock or the SOPMOD?

Not sure how you figure $500 (estimated) is an overly large price differential.
With a $2,500 MSRP in the US and the costs involved for currency, shipping (from LMT to our US office), export permit fees and processing costs, international transport costs, custom brokerage costs, handling costs, and the costs to us to backup the manufacturer's warranty on this side of the border... well $500 is actually quite reasonable (in my opinion).
Remember too that our Canadian price includes $9.99 shipping right across Canada (that obviously costs us a lot more than $9.99).
The reason we gave a "range" is obviously that we simply don't know what actual currency will be when the gun finally starts shipping to us. It would be quite easy to see a significant increase in our currancy cost and that could add a couple hundred dollars to the cost right there.
Sorry but you're dreaming if you expect Canadian prices to be the same as US pricing.... it's just not realistic.
If you want to buy it on the US side then US pricing is no problem (be happy to do that for you) but if you want to buy it and take delivery on the Canadian side then the price is higher to account for the additional costs and services being included in that price... it's as simple as that.
