HJ and KD,

if you remove your barrels and install it back in (Same barrel and caliber) are there any POI shifts?

what caliber is your rifle KD?

I haven't removed the barrel yet to check that. Mine is a 22" 308. I was looking to buy the 338 but I couldn't pass on the sale europtics had on it. When I buy the 338 conversion, I'd be even with having just one caliber at full retail price.

Nope , I did not experience the shift POI . So far it's pretty good .

I'm very impressed with the color options. I usually default to black for my rifles and pistols because I perceive black to be the least flamboyant of the typical color patterns. Not with the MRAD. The grey and bronze look amazing on this rifle!

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''.

C O N G R A T S !

I think Barrett makes great guns. They serve their purpose. I went with the Desert Tech SRS-A1 and I'm so happy with the rifle. I won a match with it today in Avenal. I don't have a Barrett MRAD, so I can't testify to them both.

My guess is, they are both outstanding platforms. If you want to compete, I would definitely go with the Desert Tech. Also, be aware, the Desert Tech is a bullpup design. I LOVE mine. I'm also a little biased.

Oh yeah, the big difference is you can shoot 338 Lapua Magnum to .223 Remington with the Desert Tech SRS. With the MRAD, I think you're limited to one bolt face, unlike the Desert Tech where you can use most bolt faces.

I went tp the Barrett website a month ago about 30 times in 3 days-- my eyes were on the grey 98b in .308 w 20" barrel. Loved the look and around $2k cheaper than MRAD. Europtics had it on their site for around $3,700 I believe.

Fell in love w the looks and figured Barrett had to make solid bolt action.

Ended up finding a great deal on brand new Defiance Deviant action in a AICS 2.0 chassis put together by custom shop w Bartlein barrel on For Sale section here though and jumped on it for a price could not pass up.

Those Barretts are REALLY nice though. The MRAD is a dream. More pics of MRADs please!!!

I picked up the MRAD for $3950 on euro optics if I remember right. It was brand new but was a shot show display gun so it was discounted greatly.

[hj_S14]

I remember they had that sale going, did you get the 10% discount if you pay by e-check (not sure if it's applied with rifle).
Did you get the gen 2 one with small breach? or the first gen one?

from the looks of the rail, it's a Gen1? maybe updated small breach came with it?

Good attention on detail : )

I didn't get any additional discounts other then a deal on the atlas bipod. It was manufactured in the beginning of January 2017 (Can't remember the exact date) but for whatever reason they didn't do the lighting cuts on the rifle. I couldn't justify the extra 2k for the cosmetic difference. It is the small breach.
