H&K have stopped deals with non NATO countries.From my point of view you can get turkish MPT76 ,it's a pretty decent platform (based on hk 417)
And since you already have a long relationship with h & k you can directly go for HK 417 ( it's accurate enough to be used as a DMR ,but expensive)

Heckler & Koch to stop doing deals with non-NATO countries: DPA
As per my understanding, if a deal could be done for the MPT76 it would have been done by now (I could be wrong), POF is collaborating with Sarzilmaz (one of the makers of the MPT76) but no rifles asides from their Kalashinkov variants have been shown.The problem in my view is that companies may happily agree to local production in order to cinch deals they will be averse to allowing other countries to export their products under their local banner. POF needs these exports in order to offset the costs incurred such as new machinery installation, staff training etc.
So my perception is that a local product is being developed (as seen in videos of BW20S improvement as well pics of Klass 786 in Sniper School) while more urgent requirements are being countered through one time imports of VSK100, Sar 15T etc.
