Product Summary
Barrett MRAD SMR Bolt Action Rifle 300 Winchester Magnum 26″ Barrel (1)-10Rd Mag Fixed Stock Grey Polymer Finish
Designed with both precision and modularity in mind, the MRAD is equally at home on the range or on duty. Its monolithic upper receiver is machined from 7000-series aluminum, including a full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail with built-in taper for long range precision. The MRAD SMR (Single Mission Rifle) features the same performance as the original MRAD, along with .75 MOA accuracy, but in a simplified package utilizing 90 percent parts commonality. The SMR name indicates that the rifle is set for a single caliber, lacking the interchangeable barrel capability of the original MRAD. Additinally the stock is fixed (non-folding). This leads to a slimmer rifle package that is 2.5 lbs lighter than the original MRAD.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.The 300 Winchester Magnum, introduced in 1963, was the last of Winchester’s family of (nominally) 30-06-length belted magnums based on the shortened 300 H&H case. It followed the 458, 264, and 338 Winchester Magnums, but has an unusually short neck to maximize powder capacity. Initial reception was mixed; critics faulted the short neck, and it was caught up in Winchester’s unpopular post-1964 manufacturing shift. It took time, but the 300 Winchester Magnum has not just survived but prospered. Today it is the world’s most popular cartridge that wears a “magnum” suffix. It is manufactured by all ammunition manufacturers, chambered by all riflemakers who have a suitable platform, and often employed by military snipers in the Special Operations community. Though not the fastest “fast 30-caliber” it is fast, accurate, incredibly available, and well-suited to virtually all non-dangerous game hunting throughout the world. — Craig Boddington
