The Barrett MRAD SMR .338 Lapua Magnum rifle is the 26-inch, black Cerakote Single Mission Rifle version of Barrett’s MRAD, a fixed-caliber bolt-action repeater chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum (brand part no. 18502). Barrett describes the SMR as a simplified package that shares about 90 percent of its parts with the standard MRAD. The barrel is free-floated in the upper receiver and held with a standard barrel nut, and the stock is fixed rather than folding. Those changes trim nearly 2.5 pounds and an inch of overall length from the standard MRAD, which suits a shooter who wants a dedicated long-range rifle in one caliber.
