NIOA is a huge Australian defense contractor providing Sig, Benelli, and Barrett firearms to the Australian military.
The MRAD started out as a scout/backpacking gun….then reality set in when I got a bead on the NF BEAST for 40% off and couldn’t resist. It’s 1 MOA with 175 grain IMI M118LR Razer Core, 0.7 MOA with 175 grain Hornady TAP AMAX, and just over 0.5 MOA with 175 grain Black Hills Gold Medal Match. All from a bench to remove my shitty ass shooting now that my eyesight is fading, my back hurts, and I have arthritis.
The 107A1 doesn’t get much better than 1 MOA with the 750 grain AMAX; more like 1.5 - 2 MOA with surplus stuff or XM33C American Eagle stuff. However it is set up purely to punch through engines and APCs…

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
Don't trust this Australian company out there .
This actually saddens me. First of all, I hate that Barrett is now owned by a foreign company. Let's face it Australia is not a bastion of 2A rights. So you have to figure that any Australian defense company is going to be toeing the Australian Government line, in order to keep their defense contracts.
Second of all, I hate that the Barrett family is no longer in the firearms business. They were one of the few that told California to shove it and they stopped selling their weapons to state and local LE agencies, there. They even went so far as to refuse to service the weapons they'd already sold there. And made the LE agencies actually fly individuals to Tennessee to pick up their weapons. That was clear signal to the state that they were no longer welcome to do business with Barrett. I highly doubt that is going to be the case going forward.
Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club allows up to and including .50BMG. I’m in the process of regaining my full membership (was full until ‘13 when I moved). Once I’m past probationary in a couple of months I can host guests. Anyone headed that way can PM me. I’m going to try to start shooting the IDPA patches there too if those dates bring anyone out to the club.
