DPM was replaced a few years ago with MCU which didn't work as planned. MCU is getting replaced with a NZ pattern of MultiCam similar to the UK MTP. Its mentioned in the below edition of the Army News.

I meant how much did your Army buy them for. Trying to compare it from the Sig rifles we got and the Remington R4. We bought ours for less than $1000. If you are saying you paid MSRP, damn yo, you rich.

NZDF would've likely paid around half the LMT retail price, they would probably spent somewhat more for the optics and accessories per rifle than the actual rifle cost.
The costing the NZDF would have been considering more was for "Life of type". Initial cost for the weapon, accessories and conversion training costs is one thing, but also considered is the likely cost of maintaining the weapon over its service life.

Yup. Base model across the entire NZDF includes an ACOG with an RMR, BUIS and Monopod.

Some of our reservists are currently undertaking training in Malaysia as part of Exercise Bersama Lima. Recently, Australian Army Military Policemen introduced our reservists to their combat marksmanship continuum, which included room clearance during fire team drills, and considerations into movement and operation in a complex multi-level, multi-faceted urban environment.

We’re not all blind.
Although many are myopic with PHDs and a propensity to ask “why?” every 15 seconds or so.
Definitely some good lads/ladette's in the reserves, you just tend to find a wider variety of backgrounds, personalities and people in a Reserve Inf Bn vs an RF one. I instructed on a Reserve Basic Training where we had a Doctor and a Nuclear Physicist among others enlisting into the Infantry for a change of scene. I don't mind the "Why's" when they are from a lack of experience or understanding and end up being educational. The ones out of arrogance or laziness (generally from YO's both RF and TF) normally follow with some "Life Lessons" being taught.

NO.75 SQUADRON SKYHAWKS, 1987. In the mid-1980s Skyhawks underwent the Kahu Upgrade Programme to bring their avionics up to modern standard. This update ensured the Skyhawk would remain combat effective until the disbandment of the Air Combat Force at Ohakea in 2001. Photo credit: Air Force Museum of NZ.
