Fierce Firearms CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 22″ Bolt Action Rifle
About this product
The Fierce Firearms CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 22″ Bolt Action Rifle is a lightweight precision rifle built with titanium and carbon fiber components for long-range hunting and target shooting. This rifle combines aerospace-grade materials with a dual-lug titanium action to deliver exceptional accuracy while maintaining portability in field conditions. It represents the current pinnacle of carbon-fiber barrel technology paired with a purpose-built titanium receiver.
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rival FP used for?
This rifle is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting where weight reduction matters. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers flat trajectories out to 800+ yards while maintaining terminal energy for ethical takedowns of elk and other large game. At 6.8 pounds unloaded, it won't fatigue you during extended backcountry stalks.
How does the CT Rival FP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CT Rival FP outperforms the Stevens 334 in both weight reduction and accuracy guarantee. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win weighs 7.3 pounds and offers typical 1-1.5 MOA accuracy, the CT Rival FP drops to 6.8 pounds with a 1/2 MOA guarantee and titanium construction that better handles thermal drift during sustained fire.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches overall length. The 22-inch carbon fiber barrel contributes significantly to the weight savings while maintaining stiffness, and the titanium action shaves another 12 ounces compared to steel equivalents. The balance point sits 1.5 inches forward of the action for stable off-hand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high magazine capacity. At $2599, it costs three times more than entry-level bolt actions like the Stevens 334, and the 3+1 capacity limits practical use in tactical scenarios or volume shooting matches.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with mounted radial titanium muzzle brake, one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, and manufacturer test target. The package lacks optics mounting hardware—expect to spend another $150-300 on quality rings and bases. All necessary paperwork and warranty documentation are included.
Is the CT Rival FP worth it at $2599?
Absolutely, if you need maximum accuracy with minimum weight for backcountry hunting. The titanium action and carbon fiber barrel alone justify the premium over conventional rifles, saving you 1.5+ pounds during mountain hunts while maintaining sub-MOA performance. For target shooters who don't hike far, consider whether the weight savings justify the cost versus heavier precision rifles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, the CT Rival FP uses standard AICS pattern magazines. The included magazine holds 3 rounds with 1 additional round able to be loaded directly into the chamber. Aftermarket magazines from Accuracy International, MDT, or Magpul will function properly.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42.5-inch overall length requires a 44-inch or larger hard case for proper protection. Most standard 42-inch cases will be too short—look for cases specifically designed for scoped rifles with additional length clearance.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms typically ship within 3-5 business days after FFL verification completes. All shipments go via UPS or FedEx with adult signature required—allow 7-10 total days from order to delivery at your licensed FFL dealer.
- Can I return it if it doesn't shoot accurately?
- Yes, Fierce Firearms honors their 1/2 MOA guarantee with a return and repair process. You must provide five 3-shot groups using match-grade ammunition—if it exceeds 0.5 MOA average, they'll either tune the rifle or replace it under warranty.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- The radial titanium muzzle brake uses standard 5/8-24 threads, making it compatible with most .30 caliber suppressors. You'll need to remove the brake first—thread protectors and direct-thread suppressors from SilencerCo or Dead Air work perfectly.
