Fuck that, I want a 7.62x51mm BREN.

My grail gun. The Dragonov not the Bren

Nice gun choice.

POHR cartridge choice since is not like 7.62x51 isn't a legacy cartridge for them.  Does NATO commonality really mean much when most of NATO's military strength is theoretical anyway?

They’ll go for the low price of $7k+ and we won’t see any x54 ammo for years.

is a SCAR 17H consider a DMR?

It's not theoretical, and the ability to take ammunition from an ally is really important. Kind of one of those things that was learned 1939-1945 and 1950-1953.

they are going to have regerts not going with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Or that 6mm ARC.

For a DMR gun, 7.62 is perfectly adequate and ammo availability is a key factor.

But when none of your allies actually buy said ammunition... or plan to actually show up if a fight starts...

Does this version of the Bren work better than the 7.62x39 version?

No they won't...

A NATO standing army is NOT going to adopt a new rifle that doesn't use NATO ammo...just they way it is...

Now before you post that 6.5CR has been used within USSOCOM...spare me...I know...but special units play by diff rules...

Pretty sure CZ has said from the get go on the BR that it was mil/leo only

Are Bren rifles in 7.62x51mm available somewhere? I thought they were only 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm.

ETA: Never mind. No full size rifles for us plebs.

Honestly, they could take any modern military style sporting rifle off the shelf and have a way better DMR than the SVD.

I went all in with the Bren 2, and have multiples of the different barrel lengths, and configurations. Having collected for thirty years, the Bren 2 is hands down my absolute favorite, and I would love to get my hands on the BR model!

Maybe Copper will be listing those SVD's on Gunbroker?

Rona was my guess. Then the Czech company might have revaluated that decision after the 2020 "election".

I wonder if anyone is going to start a group-buy program, complete with a list of reserved slots, for those potentially retired off SVD's...  

What could go wrong?

The former USSR vassal states weren't exactly let go flush with cash, and you gotta figure that a DMR is pretty far down the list of upgrade priorities... especially when the SVD actually made a halfway respectable DMR.
