BARRETT - MRAD PRECISION RIFLE

This is one rifle you may never see coming because it has capabilities of taking accurate shots at over 1000 yards.  The rifle is a staple in Barrett's lineup of long range rifles and is quickly becoming one of the most sought after firearms on the market. 

The MRAD has a foldable stock that adjusts for comfort, a standard M1913 rail system to allow for optics or accessories, and a front loading barrel to allow caliber changes by the operator.  The rifle is capable of firing .338 Lapua, .300 Win Mag, and .308 rounds.  With the ability to cover the most common long distance calibers this can quickly become your all in one rifle for law enforcement, sport shooting, and hunting.

The pistol grip design and safety are right in check with the AR15 platform and feel great if you are spending extended time behind the trigger.  The gun weighs in at 14.8 lbs and is overall 46.9 inches long when the .338 barrel is installed.  The rifles magazine holds ten rounds and with the bi-pod installed the rifle feels incredibly stable.
