Introducing the Barrett MRAD

Introducing the Barrett MRAD

Barrett was at the 2013 SHOT Show in Las Vegas for the release of its new Barrett MRAD rifle, which stands for Multi-Role Adaptive Design. The MRAD was developed on a re-engineered platform that steps away from the traditional sporting-type bolt-action rifle. Instead, it was created specifically for combat and long-range tactical purposes.

The bolt on the MRAD is completely encased in the receiver and rides at all times in a polymer guide so that the bolt never leaves the receiver. With the capability of changing uppers or barrel configurations, Barrett plans on making components available in .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Win. Mag. and .308. The MRAD comes with a 10-round magazine and has an MSRP of $6,000.

Accuracy testing a rifle begins with building a good shooting position. Too often, shooters so focused on shooting and what's happening at the target that they never learn how to create a solid shooting foundation. Without that foundation, we introduce accuracy-degrading variables into our marksmanship. Here are some rifle accuracy testing tips to get you headed in the right direction.

A guide on how to pair .223 and 5.56 NATO rifle barrel twist rates with bullet weights. Conventional wisdom says slower twist rates wouldn't properly-stabilize a heavy bullet. On the other hand, faster rates could over-stabilize lighter bullets. This is correct in theory, however, modern ballisticians have all but debunked the over-stabilization theory. All things being equal, it is better to have too much twist than not enough.

At 4.6 pounds, the T-Bolt weighs less that what it weighed on introduction in 1965, thanks to the slender and weatherproof composite stock. Combine the stock with the fast-cycling action, and the T-Bolt promises to remain a favorite in the rimfire world. T-Bolt models can vary from year to year, so if the Speed appeals to you, act sooner rather than later.
