A MSR700 rifle is a bolt action rifle. It is a two-handed weapon and can be attached to the back of a character to reduce encumbrance.
Usage
The MSR700 Rifle is a bolt action rifle, utilizing an internal 3 round magazine using .223 Rounds as ammo. This means that the rifle does not need any magazines to function, unlike the other rifles. It can only hit one target at a time but can pierce through targets. The rifle will need to be racked after reloading. Should the rifle jam on the player, press X to rack it and un-jam the rifle.
The MSR700's small magazine capacity of 3 and reload time make it ill-suited for fast-paced or close-quarters combat. However, given enough distance and a small number of zombies, it can be a surprisingly decent weapon, as its .223 rounds can pack a punch and one-shot most zombies. Much like its bigger brother M16 Assault Rifle, MSR700 can also pierce zombies.
However, this is not a rifle for low-level aiming especially with its low magazine size and base hit chance of 25%, and should be used by a level 4+ aiming skill player.

Drive-by shooting
All guns have the ability to shoot from vehicles. First press V, which opens the vehicle radial menu and open your window. Aim and fire. Drivers and passengers are all able to use this ability at the cost of reduced accuracy while the vehicle is moving. The driver cannot control the vehicle while aiming, it's recommended to cruise at a safe speed and make sure there are no obstacles that can cause a crash while you're driving and shooting.

Condition

Location
The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.

Buildings
The MSR700 Rifle can be found in most homes (notably in wardrobes/closets) and gun shops.
Trivia
- Although not visually similar, MSR700 may be based on the Remington Model 700, which is chambered in a wide variety of rounds including .223 rounds, and often comes with 3-round internal magazines.
- Unlike what can be expected from .223 round rifles in real life, Project Zomboid's MSR700 rifle does not accept 5.56mm rounds.
