That’s where the changes start for the Barrett 98B Tactical, which is available in .308 Winchester and .300 WIN Magnum. The .308 comes either with a 16- or 22-inch barrel, while the .300 comes with a 24-inch barrel.
Other changes from the original to the tactical include rail length and minute of angle (MOA). The original 98B had an 18-inch rail length and an MOA of 30, while the new 98B Tactical has a 17-inch rail and an MOA 0f 20.
The Barrett 98B has a straight-line design, running from the highly efficient muzzle brake to the shooter’s shoulder, tames recoil. It also allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots fed from the 10-round detachable magazine.

The ergonomic pistol grip of the Barrett 98B reduces muscle fatigue and provides total control over the fully adjustable trigger. An intuitive, thumb-operated safety can be accessed without compromising the firing grip and allows the shooter to maintain a solid weld to the adjustable cheek piece.
The oversized bolt handle can be easily manipulated, feeding a new round into the chamber as the bolt glides through a polymer guide.
Barrett’s newest addition is available in black or tungsten grey. The Barrett 98B Tactical has a starting MSRP of $3,995.
