[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 60287, member: 1622"] Pete, E-mailed this to you at work, but thought I'd repeat it here: Just learnt something I wasn’t aware of; sounds like you were though: There [b]are[/b] plans to replace L96, although the plans may not survive the realities of budget cuts. The ‘project’ is known as SSI –sniper system improvement. Stuff is being assessed now, but it looks likely that the rifle will be 338 (but perhaps not the L115). The SSI includes wind meters and ‘incline’ meters and all sorts of other Gucci kit. ISD –if not cut- 2007. W, Thank you for your email. We've led a merry dance regarding this Haslam / general issue business [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. Was it worth it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ?? -I don't think so. I'm just here out of hobby interest, not to engage in keyboard duels [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]! You've asked me to apologise for the 'I'm in the Army, the ACI isn't' comment; well, I think I'm due an apology about this Haslam business too [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]![ a free ACI with 34mm mounts to a colleague's APO address would do nicely - I never said it was crap [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]] I will say that it appears that a lot of units are buying the ACI on local purchase, but....I'm now not clear as to state of play regarding official issue. I do know, as stated above, that the ACI is being assessed for the SSI with a potential ISD of '07. If I'm wrong about other official issue, I apologise. PS. Now that it's made it's point; I'm deleting the desert picture from Hunt 101 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
