Me want!! ;D

Possible contender for the new Ranger rifle perhaps?
 
Can't use pointed NATO 7.62 in a lever action unless you want a spontaneous "metal storm event"

The new LEVERevolution ammo from Hornady allows you to have pointed ammo in a tubular magazine, so something could be modified.

However, it's a mute point from the NCRR project since all contenders are to be bolt action.

It does look pretty fancy though, and the price isn't too bad.
 
Whatever they are going to get will be chambered in 7.62 NATO/.308, unless of course they find a stock of Enfield Sniders under a layer of dust in a warehouse along with a big supply of .577  ;D
 
This may be a better choice, The Ruger Scout, its 7.62 x 51 (well, .308 but compatible) detachable box magazine, rails for optics, slap a synthetic stock on it, and you are good to go. Off the rack, no 10 year R&D, and reasonably priced.

We're giving the Rangers silenced weapons?  In that case, discussions of any of these rifles is a moot point...

I think I'm going to be stubborn though and stand by my original wording.  Just because I can. :threat:
 
Many countries require or encourage suppresors on firearms so not to disturb the peace and tranquilty. Only people brought up on a Hollywood diet seem to think they are evil. New Zealand is one country and also the Swiss.

Now if they did go with a lever action we could use the 45/70 government round, hard hitting and "combat proven" Plus capable of stopping a big bear.

They won't, but it's nice to have an imagination.  I personally love the Marlin 1895SBL because of the look and goodies is comes with including a nice big lever loop for the mits.  http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/bigbore/1895SBL.asp
 
Wouldn't be the first time levers were issued to paramilitary units in Canada.  :)
