CZ-700 Sniper Rifle Czechs Military

 The CZ-700 sniper rifle comes in a kit with a normal barrel and a silenced barrel, to be used with subsonic ammunition.  The standard barrel is 25.6 inches, and the silenced barrel is 17.7 inches plus the length of the silencer.  The butt plate and cheek rest are adjustable, and the trigger is adjustable for pull, length of travel, and lateral positioning. The stock of the CZ-100 is made from molded plastic-based composites, and includes an adjustable cheekpiece and a buttplate adjustable for length of pull and height.
 

The stock is of the thumbhole-type.  The standard CZ-700 feeds from a 10-round box magazine, but  an insert can be placed into the magazine well,  turning the CZ-700 into a single-shot rifle (normally done only for training purposes).  The CZ-700 has a scope mount atop the receiver for use with most Russian and European telescopic sights.  Optional features include backup iron sights with anti-glare shields and a flash suppressor.

CZ-700 and CZ-700M1 Sniper Rifle

 The Czechs replaced the CZ-700 a few years ago with the CZ-700M1.  This is virtually identical to the CZ-700, but  uses wood furniture instead of synthetics.  This was done primarily as a cost-cutting move and to ease manufacturing, but  also makes the CZ-700M1 heavier than the CZ-700.  The woods used for the CZ-700M1 are generally of the best quality available, and are laminated and weatherproofed.  The CZ-700M1 otherwise has the same firing characteristics for game purposes.

 The CZ-700 was pressed into service use by the Czech military when the Twilight  War began.  Typical
use was with special operations troops to enable them to use captured NATO ammunition, though assassins throughout the Pact liked its ability to use subsonic ammunition.  The CZ-700M1 does not  exist as such in the Twilight  2000 timeline, though late in the war many CZ-700s were in fact made with wooden furniture.

 This CZ-700 sniper rifle was originally produced for export, but  Czech and Slovakian forces began to use small numbers of it after they joined NATO.  It was developed from a civilian competition rifle commonly used in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but  the civilian rifle was heavily modified before it became the CZ-700.
