Grot 762N is a semi-automatic designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. The MSBS-7.62N project began in the end of 2015 when Polish Military of Defence announced analytical works for the replacement program of their SVD Dragunov marksman rifle and supplement the bolt-action TRG-22 and Tor sniper rifles currently in service. It was led by the team of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom and Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna (WAT) engineers. The MSBS-7.62N has two different configurations; one with a 508 mm (20 in) barrel with a fixed adjustable stock and the other with 406 mm (16 in) barrel with the MSBS Grot C's adjustable side-folding stock. Both configurations are part of the MSBS family and some of the parts of the rifle, such as the stock, handguard, pistol grip, and trigger are interchangeable between 5.56m and 7.62m models. The MSBS-7.62N is designed as a semi-automatic rifle but project engineers declared that a fully automatic configuration can be developed if required. In September, 2019 the MSBS-7.62N was officially announced at MSPO 2019. On February 24, 2023, Mariusz Błaszczak, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Ministry of National Defence, approved a contract for the supply of 250 sets of MSBS Grot 762N semi-automatic sniper rifles cal. 7.62x51 mm for the Polish Armed Forces.
