No argument - The Vickers was a better gun than the Browning. If you are going to have to lug that much weight it might as well be useful.
Or you could put wheels on it

Thanks for that. Just thinking that, if it existed, a sight that combined the ballistics computations of the Aimpoint FCS13 with the registration of the C2 would be interesting. If its one or the other I would stick with the C2.
Hey. Where did I, on this thread, mention anything about the Grizzly?
I won't argue any of your points. The LAV is a much superior piece of kit for what the Canadian Army wants it to do. The AVGP was adequate for what Pierre Senior wanted it to do - keep the FLQ off the streets.
Having said that - babies and bathwater.
The Swiss modified their AVGP 6x6s in the early 2000s. They took the old turrets off them and replaced them with a proper RWS
