Barrett 98B or MRAD?

[Fritz265]

I'm casually looking for a long-distance bolt action as a range toy. Anybody out there have a 98B or MRAD (338 LM) to share their thoughts?

The MRAD is the better choice of the two if they ever come out with the conversion barrels.

The MRAD is the better choice of the two if they ever come out with the conversion barrels.

The only significant difference between the two is the MRAD's convertability. Since it's new, it's also significantly more expensive than the 98B.

I'm torn, but would love a review if someone has experience with either.

Does it have to be a 338?

What kind of distances are you looking at?
