Finnish Special Forces to get SCAR

According to Helsingin Sanomat, Finnish Special Forces will get SCAR. The final decision will be made in March, but it is more or less approved at this point. However this is not to be viewed as the whole Finnish military will be going for SCAR.

The caliber of choice is rumored to be 5.56 for compatibility with NATO forces.

Red Blue from AR15.com has a bit more explanation
