R700



The Remington Model 700P is a bolt action sniper rifle in the Model 700 series. Rifles in the Model 700 series come with a 3, 4 or 5-round internal magazine which sometimes includes a floor-plate for quick-unloading, and sometimes is "blind", meaning it has no floor-plate.

The Model 700 is the base for all United States Marine Corps M40A3 sniper rifles. The United States Army's marksmen and snipers currently use the M24 SWS, a variant in the Model 700 series. However, it is being replaced in some roles with the Knight's Armament Company M110 SASS.

In Game
In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ' s multiplayer, the R700 is the fourth sniper rifle to be unlocked. It is much like the M40A3, except it only holds four rounds, has increased damage, and has greater recoil and sway. However, with Stopping Power, they do equal damage in most situations, making the M40A3 far superior if you plan to use Stopping Power as a perk (unless taking out Juggernauts, in which case the R700 is capable of killing them in one hit if shot in the chest or up, and the M40A3 can only kill with a neck or head shot). The Barrett .50 Cal is better regardless of perks (it is actually equal or superior in every way except for reload time), and the Dragunov is better when not using Stopping Power. The R700 is generally regarded as one of the worst weapons in the game.

The R700's sway is set to 6 degrees whereas all other sniper rifles are set to 4 degrees meaning that the R700 will move more if breath isn't held, and it takes longer to steady while a player is holding their breath.

In single-player it is only found in The Sins of the Father.

Trivia
this has made the weapon quite popular amongst players for its unique look.
 * The R700 in Call of Duty 4 uses the Leupold Mark 4 10x40mm LR/T M3 scope and is one of the only two scopes depicted correctly in game, the other being the Barrett .50 Cal.
 * The R700 is the only weapon in the game that when any camouflage is used on the R700 the scope (unless it is an ACOG) also becomes camouflaged,
