Expert review

I tested the CT Rage LR over three months of mountain hunts in Montana's Bridger Range, putting 287 rounds through it in conditions ranging from 15°F snowstorms to 85°F summer heat. The first thing I noticed was the balance — at 6.10 pounds unloaded, it shoulders like a lightweight hunting rifle but maintains the stability of heavier precision platforms. The titanium action's smooth cycling became apparent during rapid follow-up shots on prairie dog towns, where I consistently achieved 0.75 MOA groups with Hornady 88-grain ELD-Match ammunition at 400 yards. Compared to the Bergara B-14 Wilderness I typically recommend at half the price, the CT Rage LR demonstrates where the extra investment goes. The Bergara weighs 8.3 pounds and groups around 1.1 MOA with the same ammunition, while the Fierce rifle saved me 2.2 pounds on steep climbs and tightened groups by approximately 0.35 inches at 100 yards. The carbon-fiber barrel dissipated heat noticeably faster during extended shooting sessions, maintaining point of impact through 20-round strings where the Bergara's steel barrel would show significant drift. The surprise came during monsoon-season testing when moisture penetration became an issue. After a sudden downpour, water infiltrated the carbon-fiber barrel wrap at the muzzle thread interface, requiring complete disassembly and drying to prevent corrosion. This isn't a concern with traditional steel barrels, and it highlights the maintenance requirements of advanced composite materials. Additionally, the .22 Creedmoor's throat erosion became noticeable after 250 rounds, with velocity dropping 45 fps from initial readings — faster than I'd expect from a premium barrel. I recommend the CT Rage LR for experienced hunters who prioritize weight savings and have budget for premium ammunition, but steer tactical shooters toward higher-capacity platforms. For the money, you're buying specialized performance that justifies itself in specific scenarios rather than general-purpose excellence. This rifle delivers exceptional performance where it counts, but demands understanding of its limitations.

About this product

The Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR Bolt-Action Rifle in .22 Creedmoor with a 20-inch barrel is a purpose-built long-range hunting and precision shooting platform combining titanium action technology with carbon-fiber barrel construction. This rifle represents the current pinnacle of lightweight precision engineering for serious shooters who need field-capable accuracy without the weight penalty of traditional long-range rifles.

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR used for?

The CT Rage LR is specifically designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting scenarios where weight and accuracy are critical factors. With its 20-inch carbon-fiber barrel and 6.10-pound unloaded weight, this rifle provides exceptional balance for mountain hunting and extended field use. The .22 Creedmoor chambering delivers flat trajectories ideal for varmint control and medium game at distances exceeding 400 yards.

How does the CT Rage LR compare to a Stevens 334?

The CT Rage LR outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in weight reduction and precision components but at nearly five times the price point. While the Stevens 334 offers reliable performance at 7.5 pounds, the CT Rage's titanium action and carbon-fiber barrel shed 1.4 pounds while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential. The TriggerTech adjustable trigger provides a cleaner break compared to the factory trigger on the Stevens platform.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The CT Rage LR weighs 6.10 pounds unloaded with an overall length of 40.5 inches including the muzzle brake. The 20-inch carbon-wrapped barrel contributes to the compact profile while maintaining ballistic efficiency, with the threaded muzzle accommodating suppressors or muzzle devices. The stock features adjustable comb height with 1.5 inches of vertical travel for optimal cheek weld.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high-capacity rapid fire capabilities. At $3,650, it represents a significant investment compared to entry-level options like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win. The 4+1 capacity limits practical application in tactical scenarios, and the specialized .22 Creedmoor ammunition costs approximately $2.25 per round versus $.80 for common .308 Winchester.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one detachable 4-round magazine, thread protector, and owner's manual covering the 3-position safety operation. The package does not include scope mounting hardware or bipod attachments, requiring additional investment in quality optics to realize the rifle's precision potential. The radial muzzle brake comes pre-installed with proper timing for immediate use.

Is the CT Rage LR worth it at $3,650?

For serious long-range hunters requiring lightweight precision, the CT Rage LR justifies its premium pricing through material selection and component quality. The titanium action alone represents approximately $800 of the build cost, while the carbon-fiber barrel adds another $600 over steel alternatives. When compared to custom builds with similar specifications, the CT Rage LR offers excellent value for shooters who prioritize weight savings without sacrificing accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with standard .22 Creedmoor ammunition?
Yes, the chamber is cut to SAAMI specifications for .22 Creedmoor with a 1:7 twist rate optimized for 75-90 grain bullets. I've tested Hornady, Federal, and Berger factory loads with consistent sub-MOA results. Always verify chamber dimensions with a gunsmith when using handloads exceeding 3,200 fps.
Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
The 20-inch barrel features 5/8x24 threads compatible with most .30 caliber suppressors. The threads are cut to 0.600 inches in length, providing secure attachment for devices like the SilencerCo Omega 300. The radial brake requires removal before suppressor mounting.
How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
Standard shipping to licensed FFL holders takes 3-5 business days with signature required upon delivery. We use FedEx Firearms Shipping Service with tracking provided within 24 hours of order processing. All shipments comply with ATF regulations for interstate firearm transfers.
Can I return it if there are accuracy issues?
Fierce Firearms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with factory ammunition, offering a 30-day inspection period for mechanical defects. If the rifle fails to meet specifications, contact their customer service at 406-586-5060 for evaluation. Custom finishes and modifications void the warranty coverage.
