Canadian Army to acquire semi-automatic sniper weapon

[Brappp306]

+1 for SR-25

Why not the LMT that the Brits bought and named the L119A1 (I think that's the name)?

It's an AR-based platform, and should take all of about a month to fulfill a Canadian order for 272 of them (or whatever the number bought actually winds up being).

isnt one of the requirements that the winning bidder supplies the TDP to the government (ColtCanada) in case they are not around and the forces need spare parts?

Colt Canada probably wants to get into the 308 AR market, so the SR25 or some DPMS would make sense if they begin making it domestically.

They already advertise a 762

Who did you talk to? Never heard that before.

The snipers from most of the western area that came through dundurn as instructors on the basic, doing pre deployment or gun camps there for the past ten years.
