Unable to access the SVD's technical data, Yugoslavia developed its own precision rifle in the 1970s. The result is the M76, based on the Kalashnikov mechanism. This M76 uses the 8mm Mauser Mauser, as the country had inherited large stocks from the Second World War.

In the 1980s, there was a desire to modernize the rifle and, above all, to change the cartridge to something more standardized in the area, the 7.62x54mmR. Development was to take several years, as it was not easy to design a semiautomatic weapon in this caliber, since the 7.62x54mm has a bead at the base which can make feeding complicated.

By 1991, the weapon was ready for adoption, and looked very much like the M76. Firstly, the stock and handguard are made of wood, and the breech housing is machined as on the M76. It wasn't until the 2010s that the stock and handguard were made of polymer, and the breech housing of pressed steel.
