Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[Fabius]

There is an article in the current issue of Canadian Army Today on the rifle program.

It’s actually very frustrating from an end user perspective how there seems to be zero information or focus on the optic when that is at least 50% of the system. Especially when the rifle is just an updated AR. In the article the rifle is wearing an SAI LPVO 1-6.

My sincere hope is this is a sign we're looking at optics as an upgradeable program vs a once off purchase.
