Compared to similar sniper rifles, the MRAD has better modularity and versatility. The manufacturer has provided for the ability to use a rifle with other calibers. So, the barrel of the rifle is quick-detachable and is fixed with only 2 screws. Replacing some elements of the rifle bolt box is also easy. Thus, with a minimum investment of time and small manipulations, the rifle can be used with cartridges of 7, 62x51 NATO (.308 Win) or 300 Win Mag.
The ergonomic performance of MRAD is also excellent. The buttstock on the rifle is foldable, allows the possibility of choosing 1 of 5 positions of the butt pad length, as well as choosing the height of the cheek.
