Introduction

The Barrett MRADELR sniper rifle is a new long-range precision weapon introduced by the American company Barrett Firearms in 2023. This rifle is an evolutionary advancement based on the highly successful Barrett MRAD rifle, adapted to fire more powerful cartridges such as the .416 Barrett. The MRADELR is capable of reaching very long ranges, exceeding two thousand meters. It has already been used in long-range precision rifle matches like the "King of Two Miles," where the farthest target is over 3,200 meters away.

Design

The Barrett MRADELR sniper rifle is a manually operated bolt-action rifle. It features a rotary bolt with a removable bolt head, which, along with a detachable barrel, allows for easy caliber changes by the end user. The bolt head has three sets of radial locking lugs that engage the barrel extension. Currently, this rifle is offered in two calibers: the powerful .416 Barrett (10.4x83 millimeters, based on a .50 BMG case) and the somewhat less powerful yet highly efficient .375 EnABELR (9.5x70 millimeters), specifically designed to launch long and heavy VLD bullets with a very high ballistic coefficient.

The rifle is built on a monolithic upper receiver made from aluminum alloy. The lower receiver, along with the magazine housing, trigger unit, pistol grip, and shoulder stock, is attached to the upper receiver by two captive cross-pins. Ammunition is fed from detachable plastic magazines, each holding five rounds in a single stack. Surprisingly, the Barrett MRADELR sniper rifle has a fixed (non-folding) shoulder stock, which makes it somewhat inconvenient to carry in the field due to its length of slightly more than 1.5 meters. The shoulder stock is fitted with a fully adjustable cheek rest and an adjustable recoil pad.

The rifle is designed for use with a variety of high-power telescopic sights, which can be installed on the integral Picatinny rail above the receiver. Other accessories can be attached to the forend using the M-LOK interface.
