Description
If you’re hunting long-range steel or lining up a shot on a mule deer at a thousand yards, the Barrett MRAD SMR .338 Lapua Magnum 26″ FDE Fixed Stock is the tool you want in your hands. This is a factory-configured, single-caliber precision bolt-action that strips away the multi-caliber swapping and leaves you with a straight-up, no-compromise long-range rifle. The fixed-stock design keeps the build rigid, and the 26-inch free-floating fluted barrel is purpose-built for the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. Finished in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) and shipping with a 10-round magazine, this rifle is ready to shoot right out of the box.

Key Features
- Fixed-Stock Design – WHY IT MATTERS: Eliminates the play and potential wobble of folding stocks, giving you a rock-solid platform for consistent cheek weld and repeatable shot placement.
- Free-Floating Fluted 26″ Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the free-floating design ensures the barrel never contacts the stock, improving accuracy shot after shot.
- Adjustable Match-Grade Trigger Module – WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you dial in pull weight and creep to match your shooting style, giving you a crisp break that helps you hold the X-ring.
- Adjustable Cheek Piece & Length-of-Pull Spacers – WHY IT MATTERS: Tailors the fit to your body and shooting position, which is critical for maintaining consistent eye relief and recoil management on a magnum cartridge.
- Right-Hand Configuration – WHY IT MATTERS: Designed for the majority of shooters, with an ergonomic bolt handle and magazine release that fall right where you need them.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who doesn’t flinch at a 1,200-yard pack-out and the precision shooter who demands sub-MOA performance from a production gun. If you’re after elk, mule deer, or steel at extreme distances, the .338 Lapua Magnum gives you the energy and trajectory to make hits count. It’s also a solid choice for law enforcement and military precision marksmen who need a dedicated long-range platform without the complexity of a multi-caliber system.
