About the Barrett MRAD ELR
The Barrett MRAD ELR (MRADELR) is a bolt-action, extreme long range precision sniper rifle chambered in the powerful .416 Barrett cartridge. Built on Barrett's Multi-Role Adaptive Design (MRAD) platform, it pairs a 36-inch match-grade, hand-lapped stainless steel barrel with a modular upper receiver and user-changeable barrel system, allowing shooters to tailor the rifle for extreme distance engagements. Features include a 60-degree bolt throw for rapid cycling, tool-less quick-change firing pin and bolt head, an adjustable single-stage trigger module, an extended top rail with built-in elevation, a high-efficiency three-port muzzle brake, and a fixed stock with push-button height adjustment and a locking polymer cheek piece. The .416 Barrett chambering makes the MRAD ELR capable of reaching well beyond typical sniper engagement ranges.
The .416 Barrett was developed by Chris Barrett as a high-ballistic-coefficient necked-down offshoot of the .50 BMG case, giving the MRAD ELR flat trajectories and wind resistance suited to precision shooting at distances measured in kilometers rather than meters.
