The Barrett MRAD SMR Rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor (Barrett part no. 18522) is the Single Mission Rifle member of the award-winning MRAD family, built around a fixed caliber and a fixed stock. This version carries a 24-inch barrel and a Tungsten Grey Cerakote finish. The bolt rides in an enclosed polymer bolt guide for smooth, reliable operation in harsh environments, and the 10-round magazine keeps the rifle fed through a long string. It is aimed at precision shooters who want a dedicated 6.5mm Creedmoor rifle from Barrett without the multi-caliber changeover.
