The Barrett MRAD rifle’s user changeable barrel system is just one example of this hardworking gun’s modularity. The precision grade barrel can be removed by simply unscrewing two bolts using a standard Torx wrench. Besides reducing maintenance and logistical burdens, This unique design paves the way for future caliber interchangeability and serviceability at the user level.
The Barrett MRAD also boasts Barrett’s new trigger module that is easily accessed for maintenance, adjustment, and replacement. This match grade trigger is drop fire proof and combat ready. The thumb operated safety can be configured for left or right hand operation. The ambidextrous magazine release can be used intuitively while retaining a firing grip and cheek weld.
Integrated into the Barrett MRAD rifle’s 7000 series aluminum upper receiver is a Picatinny M1913 rail with 20 MOA taper. At 21.75 inches, the rail offers plenty of space for in line night vision devices. Configurable side and bottom rails allow for mounting a number of other accessories.
The Barrett MRAD rifle’s stock is foldable for enhanced portability yet locks in as solid as a fixed stock rifle, creating a rigid platform for consistent firing. When folded, the stock latches around the bolt handle for added security during transport. Because the stock folds to the bolt handle side of the action, the rifle is the same width overall, folded or extended. Made of a temperature resistant polymer, the adjustable cheek piece also offers a consistent rifle to user contact point. The rifle’s length of pull can be set to five different positions with the push of a single button. From its multi-positional quick-detach sling sockets to the interchangeable barrels. Every detail of the Barrett MRAD has been carefully designed to create one thing: a high-performance rifle you can truly make your own.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
