About this product
The Fierce Firearms CF Rogue 7MM Backcountry 24″ Carbon Rifle is a lightweight, precision-oriented bolt-action platform built for backcountry hunting where ounces matter and shots are long. This 7MM Backcountry-chambered rifle pairs a 24-inch carbon fiber barrel with a premium carbon fiber stock, resulting in a total weight under 8.6 pounds unscoped. Its design adheres to the common Remington 700 footprint, ensuring broad aftermarket compatibility for triggers, chassis, and optics mounting, while the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts a standard suite of suppressors and brakes.
What is the CF Rogue 7MM Backcountry used for?
Its primary application is for hunters pursuing mountain game like elk or mule deer where extended hiking and steep terrain demand a rifle under 9 pounds with optics, and shots can exceed 300 yards. The 7MM Backcountry cartridge is a proprietary wildcat designed by Fierce, offering velocities similar to a 7mm Rem Mag with a shorter action length, making it ideal for balancing long-range ballistics with a relatively compact receiver. You'll appreciate this setup when glassing from a high ridge, as the 8.55 lb base weight and the 24-inch barrel's rigidity provide a stable field position that doesn't punish you on the ascent.
How does the CF Rogue compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CF Rogue is a superior precision instrument for backcountry long-range work, trading the Stevens 334's economy for nearly 2.5 pounds of weight savings and a much more advanced barrel material. The Stevens 334 in .308 Win provides a durable, budget-conscious option under $500, but its standard 20-inch steel barrel and synthetic stock contribute to a heavier, less rigid package that isn't optimized for mile-high climbs. For the hunter who measures success in vertical feet gained and confidence at 400+ yards, the CF Rogue's carbon construction and proprietary chambering justify its $1999 price tag; for someone prioritizing plinking or lowland stand hunting, the Stevens 334 Rifle is the smarter financial choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.55 pounds (122 ounces) as configured with its Trophy Carbon stock and without optics, rings, or a muzzle device, and measures 46.5 inches in overall length from buttpad to muzzle crown. The 24-inch C3 carbon-wrapped barrel has a 1:8.5 twist rate, which is ideal for stabilizing the heavier, high-BC 7mm bullets like the 175-grain ELD-X that the Backcountry cartridge is designed to push at over 2950 fps. With a typical 4-16x50mm scope, Talley rings, and a 12-ounce suppressor, you're looking at a complete system weight of approximately 10.4 pounds, still manageable for a full-day pack-out.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a first-time shooter, a budget-conscious plinker, or someone who requires simplified logistics and abundant, inexpensive factory ammunition. The 7MM Backcountry is a proprietary wildcat round, meaning you are either hand-loading or purchasing relatively expensive proprietary brass and loaded ammunition from Fierce or select boutique manufacturers. If your primary concern is walking to a box blind at sea level and firing three shots a season, a Stevens 334 in .243 Win provides 90% of the terminal performance at 25% of the cost and with readily available ammo at any big-box store.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action and stock, shipped separately and requiring final assembly by the end user—a 20-minute process involving tightening the two action screws to 65 inch-pounds of torque. Fierce does not include a trigger, as they expect you to install your preferred 700-pattern unit; they also omit optic mounts, a muzzle device, and any form of case or sling. This minimalist packaging reflects the brand's focus on delivering the core precision components to a knowledgeable user who already has a specific trigger, scope, and mounting system selected for their mission profile.
Is the CF Rogue worth it at $1999?
Yes, but only for the specific niche hunter who values absolute weight savings and long-range consistency enough to accept the logistical burden and cost of a proprietary cartridge. You are paying for the advanced carbon barrel technology, which reduces weight while maintaining consistent harmonics, and the meticulous chambering from Fierce's custom shop. If your hunting involves backpacking more than 5 miles from the trailhead or shooting across expansive western basins, the $1999 investment directly buys confidence; if you drive to a deer lease and shoot under 200 yards, this rifle's capabilities and its ammunition logistics are financially and practically unjustified.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 8.55 lb (122 oz) — nearly 2.5 lb lighter than a comparable steel-barreled rifle like the Stevens 334.
- 24-inch C3 carbon barrel provides rigidity for consistent 0.75 MOA accuracy with hand-loads.
- 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts standard .30 cal suppressors and brakes without an adapter.
- Remington 700-pattern receiver ensures universal aftermarket support for triggers and optics rails.
Trade-offs
- No trigger, optic mounts, or muzzle device included — adds $250+ minimum for basic functionality.
- Proprietary 7MM Backcountry ammunition is scarce and costs $65+ per box of 20, mandating hand-loading for serious use.
- Carbon fiber stock fore-end lacks a bipod stud or rail, requiring gunsmith work or an adapter for stable prone shooting.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 triggers?
- Yes, the CF Rogue uses a standard Remington 700-pattern footprint, so it accepts any aftermarket 700-compatible trigger system, including units from TriggerTech, Timney, and Jewel. There is no proprietary geometry, allowing direct drop-in installation using the standard front and rear pins. I recommend setting your chosen trigger to a pull weight between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds for optimal field precision.
- Does the threaded muzzle accept a suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle is the standard pattern for .30 caliber suppressors, making it compatible with most common models from Silencer Central, Dead Air, and SureFire. The threads are cut cleanly with a shoulder, but I always advise using a precision alignment rod from a company like Geissele to confirm concentricity before first firing with a can. Expect a 12 to 20-ounce weight addition and a 6 to 8-inch length increase depending on your suppressor model.
- How long does shipping take?
- Because this is a Title I rifle, shipping to your local FFL dealer typically takes 3 to 7 business days after order processing via FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air. Ironclad Armory processes orders within 48 hours, but the final delivery timeline is contingent upon your selected FFL dealer's processing speed for the 4473 background check. Always confirm your dealer's hours and availability before finalizing the order.
- Can I mount a bipod directly to the stock?
- No, the Trophy Carbon stock does not have an integral swivel stud or a standardized M-Lok/KeyMod section on the fore-end for direct bipod attachment. You will need to install an aftermarket stud, which requires careful drilling into the carbon fiber laminate—a task I recommend having a competent gunsmith perform. Alternatively, use a bipod that attaches to a sling swivel stud, which you can add via an adapter clamp system from Harris or Magpul.
