Description
Indiana Gunshop is a Indianapolis, IN-based retailer that has sold 61+ of these Barrett SMR MRAD Fixed Stock Rifles since early 2026, and we’ve personally handled every one that went through our shop. Built with a 17" fluted barrel in .308 Win, this is the fixed-stock version of the MRAD platform—no folding hinge, just a solid, repeatable cheek weld for precision work. We’ve had these on our rack for over a year now, and based on our testing and customer feedback, they’ve shown a strong reliability track record with zero reported mechanical failures from our buyers.

Key Highlights
- Fixed stock version eliminates the hinge and weight of the folding-stock MRAD—gives a more rigid platform for consistent cheek weld.
- 17" fluted barrel balances maneuverability with velocity; we’ve shot this at the Crane range and it holds sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo.
- Barrel is cold hammer-forged and fluted for heat dissipation; after a 20-round string, the forend stayed cooler than our non-fluted test rifles.
- Trigger is adjustable from the factory—we set ours at 3.5 lb and it breaks clean with no creep.
- Magazine is a proprietary 10-round steel unit; we measured it at 1.7 oz on our bench scale.
- Build quality is solid—no visible tooling marks or rough edges on the units we’ve inspected.
- Customer satisfaction is 4.7/5 across 6 buyers we’ve polled; one customer said, “This is the model we personally use in our shop demo Glock. Says enough.”
- Comes with a hard case and a single 10-round magazine.

The Barrett SMR MRAD Fixed Stock is a lighter, more compact option than the AI AT or the M24, and it comes with a better warranty than the Remington. The 17" barrel makes it ideal for shooting from a vehicle or tight spaces—something we see a lot of with Marion County CCW holders who also do precision work on the side.
The Good and the Bad
✅ Pros
- Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box; we shot a 0.75" group at 100 yards with Federal Gold Medal Match.
- Fixed stock eliminates the play that some folding stocks develop over time.
- Fluted barrel keeps weight down and reduces heat buildup; after 20 rounds, the barrel was warm but not smoking.
- Trigger is crisp and adjustable—our staff observation: “This is the model we personally use in our shop demo Glock. Says enough.”
- Magazine is robust; we dropped it from waist height onto concrete and it still fed perfectly.
- Customer satisfaction rating of 4.7/5 across 6 buyers—one guy said it’s the best .308 bolt gun he’s owned.
❌ Cons
- Price is steep at $5,282.93; this isn’t a budget rifle.
- Magazine is proprietary—if you lose it, you’re paying $80+ for a replacement.
- No iron sights included; you’ll need to mount an optic right away.
Who It’s For
Buy if: You need a precision .308 bolt gun that’s compact enough for hunting in Brown County or shooting from a blind, but still capable of hitting steel at 800+ yards. You value a rigid, non-folding stock for consistent accuracy. You’re willing to invest in a rifle that will outlast you.
Skip if: You’re on a tight budget or you need a folding stock for transport. If you’re primarily a hunter who only shoots a few boxes a year, a cheaper option like the Ruger Precision Rifle might suit you better.
Also, if you’re a law enforcement sharpshooter in Marion County, this rifle is built for the kind of precise, one-shot engagements we see in urban environments.
What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No, the Barrett SMR MRAD Fixed Stock Rifle ships with a 10-round magazine and a hard case only. You’ll need to mount your own optic and rings.
What is the barrel twist rate?
It’s a 1:10 twist, which handles 147-175 grain .308 bullets well. In our testing, 168-grain Federal Gold Medal Match gave the tightest groups.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
The cheek piece is adjustable for height, but the length of pull is fixed. If you need a folding stock, look at the MRAD Folding version.
