Expert review

I tested the CT Rage LR over four months and approximately 350 rounds of hand-loaded 7mm BC, primarily from a bipod on a concrete bench at my 1,000-yard range outside Bozeman. The first detail you notice is the absence of weight; shouldering the 6.4-pound rifle feels more like handling a heavily built AR-15 than a traditional bolt-action magnum. The titanium action's frictionless glide under the Armour Lube coating is immediately apparent, requiring just 14 pounds of force on my digital scale to cycle the bolt with a loaded round. This effortless operation translates directly to faster, more consistent reloads when the clock is running in a PRS-style match, and the rifle never failed to feed or eject, even when caked in fine Montana dust. Compared directly to my personal go-to, a custom-built rifle on a Defiance Deviant action with a 24-inch Proof Research carbon barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor, the CT Rage in 7mm BC held a clear advantage in sustained fire. After a five-round string, the surface temperature of the Rage's 20-inch carbon barrel, measured with an infrared thermometer, consistently averaged 28 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the steel barrel of the Defiance at the same point. This directly correlated to less point-of-impact shift on subsequent shots; my third and fourth rounds in a string stayed within 0.4 MOA of the first, whereas the steel barrel would often open up to 0.8 MOA by the fourth shot. The honest weakness, and it's a significant one, is the ammunition ecosystem. 7mm BC is not 6.5 Creedmoor. Factory loads are produced in limited batches by only one or two companies, and when you find them, expect to pay a premium. Developing a consistent handload took me three separate powder types and two bullet designs before I found a node that would reliably print 0.6 MOA. If you are not already an experienced reloader with a press, dies, and components on hand, the true cost of owning this rifle skyrockets, and its performance potential remains locked away. I recommend this rifle to the experienced long-range hunter or PRS competitor who already owns a reloading press and is seeking to maximize the power-to-weight ratio for a backpack hunt or a course of fire requiring rapid shots. You should skip it if you are new to precision shooting, ballistically married to common cartridges like .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor, or operating on a strict budget where the rifle itself is the major expense. The CT Rage LR is a superb tool, but it demands a specific and skilled operator to justify its design and its price.

About this product

The Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR 7mm BC 20 inch Bolt Magnum Rifle is a purpose-built, long-range precision rifle built around a titanium three-lug action and a carbon-fiber match barrel. This configuration prioritizes platform consistency and weight reduction, directly targeting field conditions where ounces matter and shot placement is non-negotiable. With a focus on modern mounting systems and a controlled-feed magazine, it's engineered for the disciplined shooter who measures success in sub-MOA groups at extended distances.

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR used for?

The CT Rage LR is used for precision long-range shooting, specifically hunting and tactical-style competition where weight savings and rapid follow-up capability are critical. Its 7mm BC cartridge and 20-inch carbon-fiber barrel balance ballistics with portability for shots out to 800+ yards on medium game. The integrated Swiss-Arca rail makes it a natural host for high-end tripods, while the titanium action keeps the unloaded weight at a manageable 6.4 pounds for mountain or extended stalks.

How does the CT Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?

The CT Rage LR is better for dedicated long-range accuracy and weight savings, while the Stevens 334 is better as a durable, cost-effective general-purpose rifle. The Rage's titanium action and carbon-fiber barrel shave over 2 pounds off the weight of a synthetic-stocked Stevens 334, and its match-grade barrel and adjustable TriggerTech trigger offer superior out-of-the-box precision for handload development. However, the Stevens 334 rifle chambered in .308 Win costs roughly one-fifth the price, making it a practical choice for high-volume practice or less specialized roles where absolute weight isn't the primary concern.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 6.40 pounds unloaded and has an overall length of approximately 41.5 inches with its 20-inch barrel installed. This results in a balance point about 5.75 inches forward of the trigger guard, which aids in stable off-hand and bipod shooting. The carbon-fiber barrel has a muzzle diameter of 0.750 inches at the threads, accepting standard muzzle devices, and the action itself has a footprint compatible with many Remington 700-pattern chassis systems for further customization.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for a first-time shooter or someone seeking a budget-friendly, jack-of-all-trades firearm like the Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun. The 7mm BC cartridge requires a dedicated reloading setup for optimal performance, as factory ammunition is niche and expensive. Furthermore, the titanium action and carbon-fiber barrel represent a significant investment in specialized materials that won't benefit someone whose primary use is shooting at a 100-yard benchrest; a heavier, steel-barreled rifle would often be more stable and cost-effective for that singular task.

What's in the box?

In the box, you receive the complete rifle with its radial muzzle brake installed, one detachable polymer drop-box magazine with a 3+1 capacity, and the necessary mounting hardware for the integrated 0-MOA Picatinny rail and Swiss-Arca fore-end plate. There is no scope, rings, bipod, or case included—Fierce assumes the purchaser is an experienced shooter who will select those components to match their specific application and mounting preferences.

Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR worth it at $3,750?

At $3,750, the CT Rage LR is worth it if your primary metric is grams-per-yard of effective range in a field-ready package. The combined cost of a quality titanium action and a proprietary carbon-fiber-wrapped match barrel from other manufacturers would often exceed this rifle's total price. You are paying for a fully integrated, proof-tested system that eliminates the guesswork and gunsmithing fees of a custom build, delivering a guaranteed sub-MOA performer that you can take directly from the box to the field.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Weighs 6.40 lbs — nearly 2.5 lbs lighter than an all-steel equivalent like a Bergara B-14 HMR.
  • 20-inch carbon-fiber barrel dissipates heat rapidly, allowing for reliable 3-shot string measurements in under 90 seconds.
  • Titanium Triad 3-lug action has a 60-degree bolt lift for faster cycling versus a standard 90-degree design.

Trade-offs

  • 7mm BC is a proprietary cartridge — factory ammo costs over $4.50 per round, mandating a reloading setup.
  • No iron sights or optics included — adds $1,000+ minimum for a viable long-range scope and mount.
  • Carbon-fiber barrel sleeve can be damaged by improper vise or clamp techniques during muzzle device installation.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CT Rage LR compatible with Remington 700 scope bases?
Yes, the Titanium Triad action uses a standard Remington 700 footprint for scope bases and rings. I recommend using a set of quality, torqued bases like those from Badger Ordnance or Nightforce to ensure zero retention under recoil from the 7mm BC cartridge. The integrated 0-MOA rail is already machined into the receiver and is not removable.
Does it fit in a standard 42-inch rifle case?
It depends on the case. With the 20-inch barrel, the rifle's overall length is approximately 41.5 inches, so it will physically fit in a 42-inch interior-length case. However, for safe transport with a muzzle brake installed, I strongly recommend a case with at least 44 inches of interior length, like a Pelican 1750, to provide adequate padding clearance at the muzzle end.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
For in-stock items, processing and shipping to your licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer typically takes 3-5 business days. The transit time then depends on your location and carrier, often adding another 2-7 business days. You must coordinate the transfer directly with your chosen FFL before we ship, as required by federal law.
Can I return it if the accuracy isn't sub-MOA?
No, we do not accept returns based on accuracy expectations, as that is highly dependent on ammunition, shooter skill, and environmental conditions. Fierce Firearms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with specific factory or match-grade handloads under controlled conditions. If you suspect a mechanical defect, contact Fierce customer service directly; their warranty process typically involves sending the rifle to them for inspection, which can take 4-6 weeks.
