Historical profile
Selected in 2005 under the MRSWS program to replace the C3A1 (Parker-Hale) and complement the McMillan TAC-50 (C15) in Canadian sniper sections.
Built on a Remington 700 action with a Cadex aluminium chassis stock, 660 mm heavy barrel with muzzle brake, Schmidt & Bender 3-12×50 PM II optic.
Used in Afghanistan (Operations Athena/Attention) and Iraq (Operation Impact); effectively replaced the older 7.62 NATO C3A1 thanks to the longer reach of .338 Lapua.
