If you ordered the rifle from Templar, what was the wait time?
Stan, that's the new Finnish digital camouflage scheme, M05, which was developed in 2005, and started hitting operational issue in 2007. What I like about it as far as digital patterns go is that it has a lot of 45 degree angles, versus everything being right angles oriented to the vertical and horizontal planes. They have different variations of it, in woodland, cold weather, snow, and desert. They have maintained extremely tight controls on the fabric as to not make it available to foreign nations, since Russia has always copied the Finnish camo patterns with the intention of their Spetsnaz troops infiltrating while wearing them to confuse Finnish Defense Forces. I have confirmed this with former Spetsnaz soldiers, "Да, конечно, Pol."

The wikipedia article is actually decent on this, believe it or not.
