Precision bolt-action rifles remain the benchmark for repeatable long-range accuracy and mission-focused reliability. For operators and serious precision shooters who value a slim, service-ready package without sacrificing sub-MOA performance, this rifle is built to deliver.

BARRETT MRAD SMR is designed with both precision and modularity in mind while streamlining the platform for single-mission use. The SMR features a monolithic upper receiver machined from 7000‑series aluminum and a full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail with a built-in taper for long-range optics. The SMR model maintains the MRAD’s performance hallmark — .75 MOA accuracy — in a simplified package that uses 90 percent parts commonality with the original system. Because the SMR is set for a single caliber and has a fixed (non-folding) stock, the rifle is 2.5 lbs lighter and slimmer than the multi-caliber MRAD. Shop this product

Design highlights for tactical application

The monolithic upper receiver provides a single, rigid platform for barrel, rail, and action alignment — a critical factor when dialing for precision at extended ranges. The full-length M1913 Picatinny rail with taper lets you mount long-range optics with consistent cant and zero retention. The SMR’s fixed stock reduces moving parts and contributes to the 2.5 lb weight savings versus the convertible MRAD, improving handling in field carry and reducing torque during transitions.

Modularity where it matters

Although the SMR lacks the original MRAD’s interchangeable barrel capability, it retains high parts commonality (about 90%), simplifying logistics and maintenance. For units or shooters committed to a single mission profile and caliber, the SMR’s streamlined configuration reduces complexity without sacrificing the core MRAD ergonomics and controls.

Accuracy and field performance

.75 MOA accuracy places the BARRETT MRAD SMR in the upper tier of factory-ready precision rifles. The built-in rail taper and machined receiver contribute to repeatable harmonics and point-of-impact consistency — advantages when targets are at extended ranges and follow-up shots matter. The fixed stock and lighter overall weight make the rifle quicker to shoulder and less prone to unexpected shifts during deployment.
