Description

Barrett MRAD 300 Norma Mag Bolt-Action Rifle

The Barrett MRAD 300 Norma Mag is a precision bolt-action rifle built by Barrett Firearms for long-range shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and modularity in a single platform. Chambered in the powerful 300 Norma Mag cartridge, this rifle pairs a fluted 26-inch barrel with a 1:8-inch twist rate to stabilize heavy, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets at extended distances. The 7075-T6 aluminum receiver keeps the action light without sacrificing rigidity, while the optic-ready sight system allows shooters to mount their preferred long-range glass. Every component is engineered to work together as a complete system.

Beyond raw ballistics, this rifle is defined by its user-focused ergonomics. The side-folding stock with an adjustable comb allows the shooter to customize cheek weld and length of pull for a consistent, repeatable position behind the optic, while also folding down for compact transport and storage. A Magpul pistol grip provides a secure, familiar interface that shooters already trust from other tactical platforms. The Geissele SSA two-stage trigger delivers a crisp, predictable break that supports precise shot placement, and the manual thumb safety offers straightforward, intuitive operation in the field. Weighing roughly 14.5 pounds, it balances stability with portability.

Key Features and Benefits

The heart of this rifle’s long-range performance is its precision-machined barrel system. A fluted 26-inch barrel reduces weight and aids heat dissipation during sustained strings of fire, while the 1:8-inch twist rate stabilizes the heaviest, most aerodynamic 300 Norma Mag projectiles for consistent accuracy well beyond typical engagement distances. The bolt-action design itself is prized among precision shooters for its inherent mechanical accuracy, smooth cycling, and reliability under harsh field conditions. Combined with a 10+1 round capacity, shooters get ample ammunition without needing to reload as frequently during extended range sessions or field engagements, keeping focus on the target.

Materials and construction further set this rifle apart from typical bolt guns. The receiver is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, a high-strength alloy widely used in aerospace applications, which sheds unnecessary weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for repeatable point-of-impact after folding and unfolding the stock. The barrel’s blued and black metal finish resists corrosion and wear across repeated range trips and field deployments, and the black stock finish provides a low-visibility, non-reflective profile suited to tactical and hunting environments alike. An overall length of 49.40 inches keeps the rifle maneuverable, while the folding stock shortens that footprint considerably for transport and storage.

Every design decision on this rifle supports one goal: hits at distance, shot after shot. The adjustable comb lets shooters achieve consistent eye alignment behind any riflescope, which is critical for maintaining zero and repeatability from position to position. Right-hand operation and manual thumb safety keep the manual of arms simple and fast under pressure, so shooters can stay focused on wind calls and target acquisition rather than fighting the rifle. Whether used for long-range competition, professional applications, or serious precision hunting, this platform is built to deliver dependable, repeatable performance round after round without unnecessary complexity or compromise in the field.

Barrett MRAD 300 Norma Mag Specifications

These specifications reflect a rifle purpose-built for serious long-range work.
