Army only has had 1st round of trials for the 7.62x51mm Sniper Rifle competition in February 2011 at Tillah Ranges. Next round of winter trials is expected by end of this month. Results by June 2011 will be too soon and we are expecting this project to mature more like by June 2012 keeping in view availability of funds etc! But one thing is for sure, what Army wants in the new rifle system can only be provided by a few specialized systems available worldwide. The systems currently tested are not fully at par with what is required by the Infantry. Hence Army is looking to call in a few more international vendors later this year before short-listing the final 4 or 5.
 
í think sooner than 2012. but we shall see

all state of the art weapons were there; 5 UK weapons, 1 from south Africa, and 1 from Swizterland....1 from Republic of Turkey -

....a formidable platform indeed for 1000m range


more infos at later time down the road; regards...

A solution is to issue licences for gun and rifle production to private sector and then RFP the requirements. We have the ability to make this in house and private sector has the means to produce it. Jobs will be created and the platform will be far more cost effective.
