    Remember, IVI still makes it. If you have the right connections, you get brand new Mk7Z...

    Hi Jim,
    You are incorrect, IVI manufactures MkVIIIZ (for unfathomable reasons) and 180gr soft point which is issued to the Rangers. I have also seen Winchester "White Box" on issue.

    Five years ago, the (now former) CF "Small Arms Life Cycle Manager" told me that he had directed the Rangers who were lucky enough to have been issued a No4MkI*(T) to mark the scope turret with "white out" for zeroing purposes rather than use the range graduations on the scope.

    That was the official "solution" to the complaints that the scope graduations did not match the trajectory of the issued ammo.

    Totally ignoring the fact that the open sights won't work either...
