Barrett MRAD SMR (Multi-role Adaptive Design Single Mission Rifle) is 10+1 bolt action semi-automatic precision rifle. This gun derives from the standard MRAD but uses a fixed stock. This shortens the gun’s overall length by .9” and drops weight about two pounds!

MRAD SMR covers .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmore, .338 Lapua Magnum (LM), .338 Norma Magnum (NM), .300 NM, .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC), and .300 Winchester Magnum (WM). All are available in matte black, FDE and tungsten gray. These colors swathe receiver, handguard and stock’s metal bits while the rest remains black.

The MRAD is ultra-modern whose designers used a clean-slate approach. It seems each nook and cranny was examined to see what is necessary and what isn’t. It’s sculpted from one end to the other. The front has a two-chamber muzzle brake. The match grade barrel is fluted along its length. The flutes end with pointed arches. The fluting adds surface area for heat dissipation and decreases weight.

The handguard is simply an extension of the upper receiver, which Barrett terms a monolithic upper receiver. It’s made of 7000-series aluminum. Regardless of barrel length, the MRAD has a full-length 21.75” Picatinny top rail and M-LOK ovals along the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock surfaces. You get a 7-slot accessory rail to attach to them. The handguard is also perforated by weight saving ovoid lightening cuts on the diagonal surfaces.

The precise MK-22 bolt movement is housed in a polymer guide, and the 45-degree throw is via a spherical bolt knob. The two-position safety is ambidextrous, meaning it can be installed on either side.

The lower receiver (grip) has a part-waffle pattern around the relief cut mag well that matches the waffle pattern on the magazines. The trigger guard is oversized. The two-stage trigger is fully adjustable. The ambidextrous paddle mag release is nestled between the magwell and the trigger guard. The trigger group is designed for easy removal for easy maintenance. The M4/M16-type pistol grip is black, textured on both sides and horizontally serrated in front and back. It also has a storage compartment.

The stock shares the same aesthetic in color and style as the receiver/grip/handguard. It is highly skeletonized and has both an adjustable black polymer cheek riser and adjustable length of pull thick black rubber butt pad. Barrett infused this gun with small touches like the numbers engraved at the cheek rest riser posts. They make it easy to remember and return to your favorite setting. The cheek rest is reversible with two different cheek profiles.

While there is plenty to soak in with the gun’s engineering and architecture, the overall effect is feature rich, intuitive and functional.

The .308 is the smallest and lightest of the bunch. You can get it with either a 17” or a 24” barrel. Overall length is 39.5” and 46.5” respectively and weight is 10.6 pounds or 12.0 pounds respectively. The 6.5 Creedmore has a 24” barrel which matches the .308 24” in overall length and weight. All three of these options have 1:8” twist ratios.

The .338 LM, .338 NM, .300 NM, .300 PRC, and .300 WM, have 26” barrels, 48.5” overall lengths and weigh 12.3 pounds. The .300 NM, .300 PRC, and .300 WM also have 1:8” twist ratios while the .338 LM and .338 NM have slightly slower 1:9.4” twists.

Each model features a 10-round waffle-pattern magazine. Barrett is located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and is ISO 9001:2015 Certified. Barrett MRAD SMRs are Made in USA.
