$6700 for a rifle including future repairs and parts?????? Hell, buy them a $1000 rifle and if it breaks buy them another $1000 rifle, 5 more times!
LOL
There is no way to rationalize $6700 for a hunting rifle like you or I would buy EXCEPT for all the built in bureaucracy and pocket-lining involved in military/government procurement. Would any of us pay $6700 for a TIKKA if they threw in free repairs for 20 years?? No.
For comparison purposes, the RCMP are getting their C8 Patrol Carbine for $2800 each. Come on.....
