How do you unlock the R700?

The R700 unlocks at Level 34 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is a powerful bolt-action sniper with strong head, neck and upper-torso multipliers. It can produce reliable one-shot kills without Stopping Power, but carries only four rounds and has more recoil and sway than the M40A3. It rewards confident first-shot accuracy over repeated attempts. Its camo track finishes at Red Tiger (150 headshots with this weapon).

How does the R700 play in COD4?

RoleHigh-power bolt-action sniper
StrengthsStrong upper-body multipliers provide reliable one-shot potential; High penetration supports shots through light cover
TradeoffsOnly four rounds before reloading; More recoil and 50% more scope sway than the other sniper rifles
Useful setupThe default scope is best for deliberate long-range shots and breath control; ACOG Scope unlocks at 100 kills and shortens the sight picture, but does not remove the R700's sway or limited capacity
Camo tipHold breath early and make the first shot count; the four-round magazine and bolt cycle punish speculative shots. Favor stationary upper-body and head angles.
Compared withIt has stronger base one-shot zones than the M40A3, but the M40A3 carries an extra round and is much steadier.

Every camo-eligible weapon earns Digital (25 headshots), Blue Tiger (75 headshots), Red Tiger (150 headshots) in order — headshots are cumulative, so one grind clears the whole ladder.
