The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
No one that I know of is making custom barrels. Bugholes and a couple other shops are spinning custom barrels from your barrel makers kit or donor extension. You supply the barrel you want customized along with the extension and barrel nut, and they put it all together for you. Once I shoot out...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Gun is 300 Norma Mag. Shot some Berger 245 hybrids and I was much happier with the results. Groups were shot from a bipod and rear bag at 100m. Average group size for six groups was .445 MOA, all measured with Ballistic-X. I was getting about 1-1.5 MOA from the Hornady 225 ELD-M. I need to play...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Nope...it's a MARS. I have experience with the Raptar, and I'm not a fan. The user interface is clunky and the overall construction is not as robust as it should be; think metal and plastic together, and guess which one gives first. The user experience with the MARS is much better. I've not...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Got the TRG bipod installed after getting an Area 419 arca, clamp, and pic adapter. Gun is an “EJ” prefix in 300NM right now. I've only played with Hornady 225 ELD-M moving at 2,900fps, and the results were just okay. I have some Berger 215s I need to get shot soon, and I'm hoping for better...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
If it's been asked, I apologize. I tried a search, but didn't turn up an answer. I picked up my MRAD in 300 Norma today, and I'm tickled pink. I also purchased a NOS 24" 338 Lapua barrel last week. The 338 barrel extension is not slotted, so not large breach, right? The bolt pin that slides...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
@Swatdude1 You had a chance to mess around with the new bipod? Any initial thoughts or final verdict? I have an Area 419 Mk22 arca rail on the way, so the FC-5 G2 ARCA might be a viable option. I'm picking up my MRAD from the dealer today.- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Those Barrett bag riders are continually out of stock. Was hoping someone knew of a place that had them. I ended up getting a 300NM in FDE; ordered it in January 2022, so just over a year ago. In anticipation, I bought a 338LM conversion kit on Gunjoker (I have a bunch of 338LM ammo). As for a...- Big Worm

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
What all comes with a new MRAD from Barrett? I have one shipping to me sometime this week, and I'm already drunk shopping for accessories. It comes in a pelican case, right? I have a conversion kit on order and was thinking of picking up a few mags, unless it comes with a few already. P.S...- Big Worm

280 ai
I'm building a .280AI repeater on a Terminus Zeus action. Most of my shooting with probably be within 140-168gr range, but I'd also like to experiment with some high-BC heavy loads. For you guys with a DBM .280AI, what's your COAL and what length mags are you running with 190gr bullets (Berger...- Big Worm

Night Vision B.E. Meyers KIJI IR Laser
Seems simple, but if you're spotting through a dedicated spotting optic or on another gun and trying to illum for a shooter or spot trace, you need adjustments. It's the same reason PEQs, DBALs, etc have adjustable illuminators. I get your point about 180MOA being enough to cover whatever I'm...- Big Worm

Night Vision B.E. Meyers KIJI IR Laser
True. I would be using the 3 deg for long range work on various long guns. If mounted to the hand guard, then the lack of adjustment presents serious shortcomings. However, if mounted in parallel to the optic i.e. on a scope ring accessory rail, then the need for adjustment should be negated, as...- Big Worm

Night Vision B.E. Meyers KIJI IR Laser
Has anyone figured out a good quality adjustable mount for the KIJI? Looks like a good product, but the lack of adjustment makes this a non-starter for me until they release a new version.- Big Worm
