Barrett Firearms MRAD .300 Norma Magnum 26" 11-Round Folding Stock Rifle

The Barrett 18484 MRAD in 300 Norma Mag represents a purpose-built precision rifle engineered for law enforcement marksmen, military designated marksmen, and long-range tactical professionals who demand uncompromising accuracy at extended distances. Chambered in the hard-hitting 300 Norma Magnum cartridge, this modular semi-automatic rifle delivers superior ballistic performance beyond 1,500 yards while maintaining the ergonomic controls and handling characteristics operators expect in high-stakes field environments. With a 26-inch barrel, 10+1 magazine capacity, and side-folding stock configuration, the MRAD balances portability with the sustained firepower required for precision engagement missions.

Built on a monolithic upper receiver machined from 7000-series aluminum, the MRAD features a full-length M1913 Picatinny rail system with integrated taper compensation for consistent long-range ballistics and minimal zero shift under optic mounting stress. The rigid receiver construction eliminates the deflection and POI shift common in two-piece systems, critical when engaging targets in demanding tactical environments. The side-folding stock design reduces overall length for vehicular transport and breaching scenarios while maintaining a rigid, full-length recoil impulse path, and the Magpul grip provides textured, ergonomic control during high-stress shooting sequences. At 43.5 pounds fully configured, the system maintains sufficient mass to manage 300 Norma Mag recoil while remaining portable for ruck-march and rapid deployment operations.

This rifle excels for precision marksmen in law enforcement tactical units, military sniper teams, and serious long-range hunters seeking sub-MOA accuracy at distance. The modular design accepts a wide range of precision optics, suppressors, and accessories via the Picatinny system, enabling rapid configuration for specific mission requirements—from surveillance overwatch to precision engagement in contested terrain. The 10+1 capacity provides sufficient rounds for engagement flexibility without excessive weight penalty. Proper setup requires quality optic selection rated for magnum caliber recoil, quality ammunition for consistency, and familiarity with 300 Norma Mag ballistics to maximize the platform's formidable capability at distance.
