What is the Zastava ZR7762XR?
The ZR7762XR is the latest variant and furniture upgrade to the standard and very popular M70 rifle from Zastava USA. From when I first got to see the rifle in person, I noticed that this rifle has been built around the expectations of the modern American shooter. After watching an interview with Ranko of Zastava Arms by James Reeves of TFB (Youtube video here), Ranko explains that Zastava’s idea of this rifle is to appeal to the new shooting market, confirming my initial reaction to the rifle.
The ZR7762XR sports a custom full length MLOK handguard, a folding Magpul stock, Magpul grip, and a custom scope mount that lines up perfectly with the handguard. Zastava put a lot of though into this rifle and the craftmanship really shows.

How much does the ZR7762XR weigh?
Adding additional material to the handguard does come at the expense of adding additional weight the rifle. The ZR7762XR weights in about 9lb 5oz. Fortunately, it is not too much heavier than a standard M70.
