Barrett MRAD SMR Fixed Stock Rifle .300 Norma Magnum 26in
The Barrett MRAD SMR Fixed Stock Rifle .300 Norma Magnum 26in is a factory-built single-caliber precision rifle that strips the MRAD platform down to its core accuracy components. Chambered in .300 Norma Magnum with a 26-inch free-float fluted barrel, this fixed-stock variant delivers the same sub-MOA consistency as the original MRAD but in a lighter, simpler package built for competition and tactical use. It ships with one 10-round AICS-pattern magazine and a non-folding stock with adjustable cheek piece and LOP spacers.

Key Features
- Free-Float Fluted Barrel — The 26-inch fluted barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, allowing consistent barrel harmonics for repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at 1,000+ yards.
- Non-Folding Fixed Stock with Adjustable Cheek Piece — Eliminates the hinge joint for a stiffer, more repeatable cheek weld, and the vertical adjustment lets you dial in perfect eye alignment with your scope.
- Length-of-Pull Spacers — Included spacers let you fine-tune LOP from 13.5 to 15.5 inches, so you can shoot prone or from barricades without compromising position.
- Single-Caliber Factory Build — No caliber conversion kits needed; this SMR is purpose-built for .300 Norma Magnum, ensuring headspace, bolt face, and magazine are optimized from the box.
- 10-Round Detachable Magazine — AICS-pattern magazine feeds .300 Norma Magnum reliably, and the steel-reinforced polymer body withstands hard use in competition.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the PRS/NRL shooter who wants a dedicated .300 Norma Magnum rig without the complexity of a multi-caliber system. It’s also ideal for the tactical precision shooter who needs a fixed-stock platform that can take abuse and still print sub-MOA groups in field conditions. If you’re logging rounds at 1,500 yards and want a rifle that’s ready to go out of the box, this is your tool.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guaranteed with match ammunition — verified by multiple independent shooters at 100 yards.
- Pro: Fixed stock eliminates the failure point of a folding hinge, increasing reliability in dirty or cold conditions.
- Con: The fixed stock makes transport in standard cases more difficult; you’ll need a case at least 50 inches long.

The Barrett MRAD SMR outranges both competitors with its .300 Norma Magnum chambering and 26-inch barrel, delivering higher muzzle velocity and flatter trajectory at 1,500 yards. The Geissele and Timney options are lighter and cheaper, but they lack the long-range energy retention of the .300 Norma Magnum.
FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Barrett MRAD SMR .300 Norma Magnum 26in?
Per Barrett specs, the barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 230-grain Berger Hybrid and 225-grain Hornady ELD-Match.
Does the Barrett MRAD SMR accept standard MRAD magazines?
Yes. The SMR uses the same AICS-pattern 10-round magazines as the standard MRAD, so you can swap mags between rifles if you own both.
Can I mount a suppressor on the 26-inch barrel?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, and the free-float handguard has clearance for most .30-caliber suppressors. Just ensure your suppressor is rated for .300 Norma Magnum pressures.
What is the trigger pull weight on the Barrett MRAD SMR?
Per Barrett specs, the trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 lbs. Out of the box, it’s set at 3.5 lbs with a clean, crisp break and minimal overtravel.
