Fierce CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 24in Bolt-Action Rifle

About this product

The Fierce CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 24in Bolt-Action Rifle is a purpose-built, lightweight hunting and long-range rifle that pairs a C3 carbon fiber barrel with a titanium action to achieve a factory 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee. This platform is constructed for shooters who need to carry weight over distance without sacrificing terminal performance at legal hunting ranges and beyond. The core value proposition is titanium-strength and carbon-lightness in a mechanically precise package designed for the field, not just the bench.

What is the Fierce CT Rival FP 7mm PRC used for?

This rifle is engineered for hunters who cover serious ground and demand first-round precision on game at 400-700 yards. The direct answer is: it's a long-range, lightweight hunting and precision field rifle. The 7mm PRC cartridge is optimized for extended-range terminal ballistics with high-BC bullets, and the 24-inch, hand-lapped barrel ensures it can reach out. The carbon fiber construction keeps the system weight manageable for mountain stalks, while the adjustable carbon stock and titanium action provide a stable, durable platform for a single, well-placed shot.

How does the Fierce CT Rival FP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The CT Rival FP is a premium lightweight precision instrument, while something like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a reliable, cost-effective workhorse. Directly: the Fierce is superior in material quality, weight savings, and guaranteed accuracy, while the Stevens wins on affordability and general-purpose durability. The Fierce uses a titanium action and carbon fiber barrel to hit 5.8 lbs unscoped, with a 1/2 MOA guarantee; the Stevens 334 uses a steel action and chrome-moly barrel at nearly 7.1 lbs, with accuracy expectations closer to 1-1.5 MOA. For backcountry elk hunting, the Fierce is the tool. For general-purpose use or budget-conscious buyers, the Stevens makes more sense.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 5.8 pounds (92.8 ounces) without optics, one of its primary selling points for a rifle of this caliber. That's the direct measurement. Its overall length is 44.5 inches with the 24-inch barrel, and the drop at comb is adjustable over a 0.75-inch range via spacers. The magazine capacity is 3+1 rounds of 7mm PRC, which is standard for a flush-fit, hinged floorplate design on a long-action magnum cartridge meant for precision, not volume.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the casual plinker, the budget-focused first-time rifle buyer, or someone who wants a ultra-compact brush gun. The direct answer is: avoid this if your shots are consistently under 200 yards or your budget can't support a $2,600 rifle plus a $1,500+ optic and premium ammunition. The 7mm PRC round averages $3.50-$5.00 per round, and the rifle's precision-focused design is wasted on close-range work. For those scenarios, a compact shotgun like the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact 20ga or an affordable centerfire rifle is a far better investment.

What's in the box?

You receive the complete rifle, one 3-round steel magazine (loaded to 3+1 capacity), the radial titanium muzzle brake installed, a set of three comb-height adjustment spacers, and the factory test target showing the 1/2 MOA or better group fired with proof ammunition. That's the full kit. Fierce does not include a hard case; they ship in a heavy-duty cardboard box with dense foam inserts, expecting the end user to provide their own transport and storage solution appropriate for a firearm of this value.

Is the Fierce CT Rival FP worth it at $2,599?

For the specialized backcountry hunter or precision shooter who values every ounce and demands sub-MOA reliability, yes, the $2,599 price is justified. The direct verdict: if your use-case aligns, it's worth the premium over a $600 rifle. The cost buys you materials (titanium, carbon fiber) and processes (hand-lapping) that directly translate to a 1.3-pound weight savings and a demonstrable accuracy guarantee you cannot get from a mainstream production rifle. If you are not hiking miles into wilderness or regularly shooting beyond 400 yards, nearly any other rifle, including our Stevens 334 in .243 Win, will serve you as well for a fraction of the cost.
