The Barrett MRAD folding stock rifle in .308 Win with two 10-round magazines and a 17” fluted barrel in black finish is a precision platform engineered for shooters who demand repeatable sub-MOA accuracy across multiple calibers. This is the barrett mrad folding stock rifle .308 win 10rd magazine(2) 17” fluted barrel black finish — a modular, combat-proven system built around a monolithic 7000-series aluminum upper receiver with a full-length Picatinny top rail that includes a built-in taper for long-range elevation adjustments. At $6,770, it’s an investment in a rifle that transitions from the range to duty without compromise.

Key Features
- User-Changeable Barrel System — Why it matters: Loosen two screws and swap barrels in under two minutes without losing zero. You can switch between .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua, and more using the same receiver, saving thousands over buying separate rifles.
- Monolithic 7000-Series Aluminum Upper — Why it matters: One-piece construction eliminates receiver-to-handguard shift, keeping your optic and barrel indexed perfectly even after hard use. The integrated 20 MOA taper in the top rail gives you maximum elevation travel for 1,000+ yard shots.
- 17” Fluted Barrel — Why it matters: Fluting reduces weight by roughly 0.4 lbs while increasing surface area for faster cooling during strings of fire. The shorter length keeps the rifle balanced for suppressed use or tight confines without sacrificing velocity.
- Folding Stock with Adjustable Cheek Riser — Why it matters: The stock folds to the right for compact transport or storage, and the cheek piece adjusts for consistent eye alignment with high-mounted optics. The rubber buttpad reduces felt recoil on extended range sessions.
- Full-Length M1913 Picatinny Handguard — Why it matters: Slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock let you mount bipods, night vision, lasers, or rail sections exactly where you need them. The rigid interface maintains zero on accessories under recoil.
Who It’s For
The MRAD is for the precision rifle shooter who treats every shot as a data point. You’re the guy who logs DOPE in a Kestrel, checks barrel torque before each match, and wants one platform to cover .308 Win for tactical matches and .338 Lapua for ELR work. It’s also for the professional who needs a rifle that survives helicopter insertions, desert heat, and sub-freezing temps without hiccups.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee from Barrett; quick-caliber swap without tools; folding stock for compact carry; 10-round AICS-pattern magazines included (two); built-in 20 MOA rail taper; cold-hammer-forged barrel for long barrel life.
Cons: At 12.5 lbs, it’s heavy for a .308 — expect to run a bipod or bag for positional work. The price point puts it out of reach for casual shooters, but you’re paying for a battle-proven system used by military units worldwide.

FAQ
What magazines does the Barrett MRAD .308 use?
It uses AICS-pattern (Accuracy International Chassis System) magazines. The rifle ships with two 10-round magazines, and you can also use Magpul PMAG 7.62 AC or similar AICS-compatible magazines.
Can I change the barrel caliber on the MRAD myself?
Yes. Loosen the two barrel clamp screws, slide out the old barrel, insert the new one, and re-torque to 65 in-lbs per Barrett specs. No headspace gauges needed — the barrel extension pre-headspaces each caliber.
Is the MRAD accurate enough for competition?
Barrett guarantees sub-MOA with match ammunition. Many PRS shooters run the MRAD in .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor, and it’s used by U.S. SOCOM for precision engagements out to 1,500 meters.
Does the folding stock hold zero?
Yes. The hinge mechanism is machined from steel with a positive lockup. After folding and unfolding, point-of-impact shift is negligible — typically under 0.2 MOA according to Barrett testing.
What barrel twist rate does the .308 have?
The 17” fluted barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for 168–175 grain match bullets commonly used in .308 Win for long-range accuracy.
