Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

The Ranger rifle got a laminated wooden stock - as some idiot seemed to believe that would be better than a composite stock -- despite composite stocks being used on bolt action sniper rifles since the 80's in all sorts of environments across the world.

Prime example of a improperly written SOR/SOW and lack of testing.

The problem isn't the fact that the stock was a laminated wooden type, it was that the stock's overall quality was poor, they were not properly sealed and thus fell apart upon use. The stocks in testing apparently faired very well and passed, but there was a drastic drop in quality control somewhere in the production versions.
