The Barrett MRAD in .308 Winchester with a 17-inch compact barrel is the shortest, lightest MRAD configuration — a precision sniper rifle designed for operations in urban environments and vehicle-mounted sniper teams where full-length rifles are impractical. The 17-inch barrel sacrifices approximately 200 fps of muzzle velocity compared to a 24-inch configuration but delivers all of the MRAD's modularity and accuracy in a package that fits in a standard rifle bag.
