Description

Barrett MRAD 338 Lapua Bolt-Action Rifle

The Barrett MRAD 338 Lapua delivers uncompromising long-range accuracy in a modular bolt-action platform built for serious precision shooters. Chambered in.338 Lapua Magnum, this rifle pairs a heavy-contour 26-inch barrel with a 2-port muzzle brake to tame recoil and keep the sight picture steady through every follow-up shot. The Cerakote-finished receiver and barrel resist corrosion and wear in harsh field conditions, while the black finish keeps the profile low and tactical. Feeding from a 10-round detachable box magazine, the MRAD gives shooters ample capacity for extended range sessions or field engagements without frequent reloading.

Barrett engineered the MRAD as a fully modular system, and this configuration showcases that versatility with a folding adjustable stock, adjustable cheek rest, and a Magpul MOE pistol grip for a customizable, ergonomic fit. The stock folds for compact transport and storage, then locks back into a rigid, repeatable position for shooting, so zero retention is never a concern. An adjustable cheek rest lets shooters align their eye consistently with the optic regardless of scope height, improving cheek weld and reducing parallax error shot after shot. The package ships complete with one 10-round magazine and hard case.

Key Features and Benefits

The 26-inch barrel on the Barrett MRAD 338 Lapua is engineered to extract maximum velocity and consistency from the.338 Lapua Magnum cartridge, a caliber trusted by long-range competitors and professional marksmen for its flat trajectory and retained energy at extended distances. The 2-port muzzle brake vents propellant gases to significantly reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing shooters to spot their own impacts through the scope and get back on target faster for rapid follow-up shots. This barrel and brake combination turns a hard-hitting magnum caliber into a rifle that shooters can comfortably run all day.

Every point of contact on the Barrett MRAD has been designed for adaptability, starting with the folding adjustable stock that lets shooters dial in length of pull to match their build and shooting position. The adjustable cheek rest raises and lowers independently, so the same rifle maintains a proper cheek weld whether it is topped with a low-profile scope or a taller optic with extra mounting height. A Magpul MOE grip rounds out the ergonomics package with an aggressive, comfortable texture that stays secure even with gloved hands or in wet conditions.

Durability matters as much as accuracy in a rifle meant for demanding environments, and the Barrett MRAD answers with a Cerakote finish applied to the metal surfaces for superior resistance to rust, abrasion, and chemical exposure compared to standard bluing or paint. The black finish also cuts down on glare in the field, keeping the rifle’s profile low whether shooters are on a bench, in a blind, or moving through varied terrain. A 10-round detachable magazine offers generous capacity, and the included hard case protects the rifle and its folding stock during transport and storage.
