The Grot 762N is a Polish semi-automatic designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, developed from the FB MSBS Grot.
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 Dragunov sniper 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 Techniczna (WAT) engineers.[1]
