wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 8:50 pm Hi guys Take a look at these pics. You will see a soldier standing at the cenotaph...He is holding a rifle which is ALWAYS pointed down....The problem is all the years my Father represented the R.H.L.I (Royal Hamilton Light Infantry) at their cenotaph, I have NEVER and I mean NEVER seen a rifle with a "Scope" on it...Designer mistake...?...Or done on purpose...?

Barrie Valued Member Canada 227 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 4:09 pm The coin depiction is factual. The rifle, the C7A2 is standard issue for our troops and uses the C79 sight.It's not a sniper scope. It has low light LED capabilty for up to 200M and a Magnification capability. For close in (75M or less), the top "iron sight" is used. It can be quickly adjusted for elevation and wind speed and direction. Report this Post to the Staff

Barrie Valued Member Canada 227 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 12:23 pm darryldarryl: Both. So far I've been able to avoid the long gun registry... unlike having to register to collect coins. Now I know who the real 'potential' criminals are. Report this Post to the Staff
