The Barrett MRAD .338 Lapua 26″ FDE Folding Stock 10rd is a precision bolt-action rifle built for long-range accuracy and field adaptability. Chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, it features a user-changeable barrel system, a folding stock, and a full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail with an MOA taper for optics.

Key Features
- User-Changeable Barrel System — why it matters: You can swap between .338 Lapua, .300 Norma, and other calibers in minutes with no tools, letting one rifle handle multiple missions or range sessions.
- Folding, Adjustable Stock — why it matters: The stock folds to reduce overall length for transport or storage, and tool-less adjustments let you dial in length of pull and cheek height for a custom fit.
- Ambidextrous Controls — why it matters: Left- and right-handed shooters can operate the bolt release, magazine release, and safety without changing grip, making it a true universal platform.
- Adjustable Match-Grade Trigger Module — why it matters: You can set trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 4.5 pounds without a gunsmith, ensuring a crisp, consistent break for precision shots at long distances.
- Full-Length M1913 Picatinny Top Rail with MOA Taper — why it matters: The 20 MOA rail gives you extra elevation adjustment for long-range optics, and the continuous rail allows mounting night vision or clip-on devices forward of the scope.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the serious long-range shooter — whether you’re a competitive precision rifle shooter, a hunter who needs to reach out past 1,000 yards, or a professional operator who demands a reliable, adaptable platform. The MRAD is also a strong choice for new shooters who want to invest in one rifle that can grow with them, thanks to the caliber-change capability.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Barrett; the monolithic receiver keeps zero consistent even after barrel swaps.
- Pro: Quick-change barrel system saves time and money compared to buying separate rifles for different calibers.
- Pro: Ambidextrous design means it works for any shooter without modification.
- Con: At 14.1 pounds unloaded, it’s on the heavier side for a hunting rifle, though the folding stock helps with carry.

FAQ
Is the Barrett MRAD .338 Lapua 26″ FDE Folding Stock 10rd legal to own in my state?
This rifle is a bolt-action firearm, so it follows standard state and federal laws for long guns. Check your local regulations on magazine capacity and caliber restrictions. We ship to all 50 states, but we’ll verify compliance before sending.
Can I use this rifle for hunting?
Yes. The .338 Lapua Magnum is legal for big game in most states, though some restrict magazine capacity to 5 rounds for hunting. The 10-round magazine is fine for target shooting; you can also buy 5-round mags separately.
How do I change the barrel on the Barrett MRAD?
No tools needed. Unload the rifle, open the bolt, press the barrel release button, rotate the barrel 90 degrees, and pull it forward. Insert the new barrel, rotate back, and you’re set. Barrett sells caliber conversion kits for .300 Norma and .308 Win.
What is the effective range of the .338 Lapua in this rifle?
With quality match ammunition, the MRAD .338 Lapua is capable of consistent hits on man-sized targets out to 1,500 meters. The 26-inch barrel gives you optimal velocity for the round.
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No, the rifle is sold as a barreled action with stock. The full-length Picatinny rail is ready for your preferred optic. We recommend a scope with at least 20 MOA of internal adjustment to take advantage of the rail’s taper.
