Barrett Mrad

[hj_S14]

hi all,
I'm just curious if anyone in here using the Barrett Mrad for target plinking, long distance shooting, competition etc.. ? Any feedback? Thanks

It's a great gun and platform. Little over priced but nice. Use it for long range plinking. I prefer my DT SRS personally , but it's a great gun

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Thanks , I have the SRS a1 too.. Just curious of how this Mard will perform against those SRS, AI etc.

Stick with the DT! I even use it for PRS matches

I just bought one. on order right now, waiting for it to ship. bought it in 6.5CM.
I can't compare with the DT (But have read very good things about it).

My Neighbor let me shoot his, and i had to have one.

Little over priced

And you don't think a DT HTI chassis at $5,100 or the SRS chassis at $3,400...for just a chassis, is not overpriced.

If you are comparing a HTI to a mrad it's a different beast. O don't believe the mrad shoots 50 cal, .375 Chey Tac and above.

The SRS will shoot .338 Norma mag all the way down to .223 all in one chassis... for 3400 you can find whole rifles for 4000 easily

An MRAD is the last gun on my list of wants. It's there because it is modular, seemingly well built, and it has a coolness factor that only Barrett can produce. But as far as high end bolt action rifles go, I'd rather build a light weight long range rifle off of a Defiance Machine Deviant action for mountain hunting before I spent that same $10k on a range toy. Just my two cents.

So my Barrett is home finally. The over all, I don't think it can be any where near AI in term of quality, design and finish. However , I think it's quality is better than DT though. The action is not as smooth as AI but still better than DT lol

Sweet you bought it in 300Win and bought 7mm barrel kit? may I ask how much you spent on the barrel kit? I can only find it on Europtics and it starts around $1300/1400.

Also, which barrel profile and length did you get?

I tried to get the Heavy Barrel but only the fluted was available. VEry interested in the Proof Research barrels but @ +$2000 for the kit...ouch.

Only 24'', they only made 24'' barrel I think. My 300 WM is proof research carbon barrel. The 7mm is just regular fluted one and 24''.
