Like anything that is controlled by the government, costs balloon. Please don't blame the military, we don't make those decisions but.....
Look up the current population of Canada according to stats can, This procurement of 6500 rifles cost every Canadian man, woman and child......... $1.25

What a nice innocuous way of saying that the cost is over
$6,700 for EACH nice Sako hunting rifle. $1.25 for every man woman and child is 43.7 million dollars. Small potatoes in government-land.
