Barrett MRAD .300 PRC 26″ Folding Stock Bolt Action Rifle

The Barrett MRAD .300 PRC 26″ Folding Stock Bolt Action Rifle is a modular precision system engineered for shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA performance at extreme distances. Chambered in .300 PRC, this rifle delivers the ballistic advantage needed for 1,500+ yard engagements, with a user-changeable barrel system that lets you adapt to different calibers or barrel wear without returning to the gunsmith. The cold hammer-forged 26-inch barrel, full-length Picatinny rail, and adjustable match-grade trigger make this a turnkey solution for long-range precision shooting.

Key Features

• User-Changeable Barrel System – Swap barrels in minutes with a single Allen wrench, no headspace gauges needed. Why it matters: lets you switch from .300 PRC to .338 Lapua or .308 Win without buying a second rifle.
• Full-Length 20 MOA Picatinny Rail – Machined into the receiver, provides 30+ inches of mounting surface for optics, night vision, or clip-on thermal devices. Why it matters: eliminates the need for a separate rail and gives you built-in elevation for long-range holds.
• Folding Stock with Adjustable Length of Pull – Stock folds to the right for compact transport and adjusts from 13.5″ to 15″ LOP in 0.5″ increments. Why it matters: fits shooters from 5’6″ to 6’4″ and packs into a 36″ case for airline travel.
• Adjustable Match-Grade Trigger – Two-stage trigger adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 lbs with a crisp, over-travel stop. Why it matters: dial in the exact pull weight for your shooting style without sending it to a smith.
• Ambidextrous Controls – Magazine release, bolt handle, and safety selector are reversible for left-handed shooters. Why it matters: no need to order a left-hand model or modify the rifle.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the precision shooter who competes in PRS, ELR matches, or hunts at distances beyond 800 yards. It suits the reloader who wants to tune .300 PRC handloads, the military/LE sniper who needs a multi-caliber platform, and the collector who values Barrett’s engineering pedigree. If you shoot past 1,000 yards regularly, this is your tool.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee from factory, quick barrel swaps, built-in 20 MOA rail, ambidextrous, includes hard case and two 10-round magazines.
• Cons: At $6,770, it’s a significant investment; the folding stock adds some weight vs. fixed stocks; .300 PRC ammo is still less common than .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor.

FAQ

What barrel life can I expect from the .300 PRC barrel?

With proper cleaning and moderate firing schedules, the cold hammer-forged barrel typically delivers 1,500-2,000 rounds before accuracy degrades. Using a barrel cooling device between strings extends life. Per Barrett specs, replacement barrels are available directly from the factory.

Can I shoot .308 Winchester or .338 Lapua Magnum in the same MRAD?

Yes, the MRAD’s interchangeable barrel system allows caliber changes. You need the corresponding bolt head, barrel assembly, and magazine. The .300 PRC uses a .532″ bolt face; .308 uses .473″; .338 Lapua uses .588″. Barrett sells conversion kits.

Is the stock compatible with aftermarket chassis systems?

The MRAD uses a proprietary receiver and stock interface, so standard AR-15 or Remington 700 chassis won’t work. However, Barrett offers optional buttstocks and cheek risers for the MRAD platform. For customization, contact Barrett customer service.

What optics mounting height do I need for the 20 MOA rail?

With a 20 MOA rail, use medium-height rings (1.0″ to 1.26″) for a 50mm objective lens. Lower rings (0.87″) work for 40mm objectives. The rail’s 0° base angle plus 20 MOA forward tilt gives you 26 MILs of total elevation adjustment—enough for 1,500-yard shots with most scopes.

Does the rifle come with a muzzle brake or suppressor mount?

Yes, the MRAD ships with a Barrett-designed muzzle brake that reduces recoil by 30%. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, compatible with most .30-caliber suppressors. Use a direct-thread or QD mount per your suppressor manufacturer’s specs.
