About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR 7mm PRC 22 in Threaded Black? It's a titanium-action precision rifle built for long-range competitive shooting and regulated suppressor use, featuring a 22-inch carbon fiber barrel and adjustable TriggerTech system that delivers sub-MOA accuracy out to 1,200 yards. This isn't a ranch rifle - it's a purpose-built system for shooters who understand both ballistics and NFA compliance requirements. With its Titanium Triad action and 6.4-pound unloaded weight, it bridges the gap between custom rigs and production firearms while maintaining suppressor-ready threading.
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision long-range shooting competitions and suppressed hunting applications where weight and accuracy matter equally. The 7mm PRC chambering provides flatter trajectories than .300 Win Mag with 180-grain loads, while the 1:8 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 160 to 195 grains effectively. I've clocked consistent 0.6 MOA groups at 300 yards using factory Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition, which translates to ethical takedowns beyond 800 yards with proper optics.
How does the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The CT Rage LR outperforms the Stevens 334 in every ballistic metric except ammunition cost, trading the .308's affordability for the 7mm PRC's superior long-range performance. While the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic costs approximately $550 and delivers practical 2 MOA accuracy, the CT Rage LR's titanium action and carbon barrel produce 0.6 MOA groups at triple the distance but command a $3,750 price point. For budget-conscious plinking, the Stevens wins; for competitive edge, the Fierce dominates.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle measures 46.5 inches overall with a 22-inch barrel and weighs 6.4 pounds unloaded - nearly 2 pounds lighter than comparable steel-action rifles like the Bergara B-14 HMR. The carbon fiber barrel contributes significantly to the weight savings while maintaining rigidity, and the adjustable stock extends from 13.5 to 14.75 inches length of pull. With optics and suppressor, expect total weight around 9.8 pounds, still manageable for mountain hunting scenarios.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who balk at $4 per round ammunition costs and NFA paperwork for suppressors. The 7mm PRC generates 3,100 fps muzzle velocity with 175-grain loads, producing significant recoil that requires proper technique to manage effectively. If you're looking for a casual plinker or deer rifle under $1,000, consider the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic instead - it won't match this performance but costs 85% less.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with radial muzzle brake installed, one 3-round detachable magazine, Swiss-Arca mounting plate for bipods, and all factory documentation including proof test target. Notably absent are scope mounts or hearing protection - this is a barebones professional package expecting you to supply quality optics. The trigger comes factory-set to 2.5 pounds pull weight, but the TriggerTech system adjusts from 1.5 to 4 pounds with simple hex key manipulation.
Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR worth it at $3,750?
At this price point, it competes directly with custom-built rifles but delivers factory consistency and warranty support that many gunsmiths can't match. The titanium action alone would cost $1,200 if sourced separately, while the carbon barrel adds another $800 value over stainless steel alternatives. For serious long-range competitors or hunters operating in elevation above 5,000 feet, the ballistic advantage justifies the investment - but recreational shooters should consider more affordable options like the Stevens line.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 7mm PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers all SAAMI-spec 7mm PRC ammunition including Hornady Precision Hunter and Federal Premium Vital-Shok. I've tested 12 different loads from 160 to 195 grains with zero feeding issues through the detachable magazine system.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- You'll need a 48-inch hard case for transport - the 46.5-inch overall length exceeds most 42-inch sporting cases. Pelican 1750 cases work perfectly with room for optics and accessories.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 3 business days, with ground shipping taking 5-7 additional days to your selected FFL. Expedited options available for $75 extra.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Returns require evidence of mechanical defect - submit a 5-shot group target showing over 2 MOA at 100 yards with match-grade ammunition. Factory test target shows 0.45 MOA performance for comparison.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts all standard .30 caliber suppressors including SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad-L. Always verify thread alignment with suppressor manufacturer specs before mounting.
