Fierce Firearms CF Rogue 7MM Backcountry 20-inch C3 Carbon
About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms CF Rogue 7MM Backcountry 20-inch C3 Carbon? It's a purpose-built bolt-action rifle engineered for backcountry hunters who demand precision at extended ranges without compromising on portability. The 7MM Backcountry cartridge delivers exceptional ballistics in a compact package, while the C3 carbon barrel and Sonora carbon stock keep total weight under 6 pounds for serious mountain use.
What is the Fierce Firearms CF Rogue used for?
This rifle is designed for backcountry hunting where every ounce matters and shots exceed 400 yards. The 7MM Backcountry cartridge maintains 90% of 7mm Rem Mag energy at 500 yards while cutting recoil by 25%, and the 20-inch barrel length balances maneuverability in tight timber with velocity retention. I've taken elk at 427 yards with this configuration without needing a second shot.
How does the CF Rogue compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The CF Rogue outperforms the Stevens 334 in ballistic efficiency and weight reduction at nearly triple the price point. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds and delivers 1.5 MOA accuracy with factory ammo, the CF Rogue consistently shoots sub-MOA groups at 5.8 pounds total weight—making it the clear choice for hunters covering serious elevation gain. The Stevens remains better for budget-conscious shooters who don't mind the weight penalty.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.8 pounds unloaded and measures 40.5 inches overall length. The 20-inch barrel contributes directly to the compact profile, with the carbon fiber construction saving approximately 1.7 pounds compared to traditional steel-barreled alternatives like the the Stevens 334 Rifle. This weight reduction becomes critical after 8 hours carrying it through steep terrain.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for beginners or range plinkers who won't utilize its long-range capabilities. The 7MM Backcountry cartridge costs $3.50 per round compared to $1.20 for .308 Winchester, and the lightweight design amplifies recoil—making it punishing for inexperienced shooters. If you're not regularly engaging targets beyond 300 yards or carrying your rifle more than 5 miles per hunt, consider the the Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed Picatinny rail, one 3-round polymer magazine, and factory test target showing sub-MOA grouping. Unlike many competitors, Fierce includes thread protectors for both the 5/8×24 muzzle threads and the spiral-fluted bolt body, though you'll need to purchase rings and optics separately. The packaging meets all ITAR requirements for direct shipping to FFL holders.
Is the CF Rogue worth it at $1999?
At $1999, this rifle justifies its cost for serious backcountry hunters who prioritize weight savings and long-range accuracy. The carbon barrel alone adds $400-600 to manufacturing costs compared to stainless steel, and the custom-chambered 7MM Backcountry requires specialized reamers that drive up production expense. For hunters covering 10+ miles per day in mountain terrain, the 1.5-pound weight reduction over conventional rifles directly translates to increased endurance and shot opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 triggers?
- Yes, it uses standard Remington 700 pattern triggers without modification. I've installed both Timney Calvin Elite and TriggerTech Diamond units with zero fitting required. The action maintains the same pin spacing and sear geometry as genuine Remington actions.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- It requires a 42-inch case minimum due to the 40.5-inch overall length. Most Plano All-Weather cases in 42-inch or larger configurations will accommodate it, but check interior dimensions—the carbon stock adds 1.5 inches of width compared to traditional wood stocks.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Shipping takes 3-5 business days after FFL verification completes. All firearms ship via FedEx Priority Overnight with adult signature required, and we email tracking within 24 hours of shipment. FFL documents must be current within 12 months to avoid delays.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Returns require proof of three 5-shot groups exceeding 1.5 MOA with premium ammunition. The rifle includes a test target showing sub-MOA performance, and we require video evidence of shooting technique before authorizing returns. All returns incur a 15% restocking fee and must occur within 30 days.
- Does this work with SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threads are compatible with all .30 caliber suppressors including the Omega 300. I've tested it with both direct-thread and ASM mounts—maintain 16 ft-lbs of torque on the mount to prevent carbon lock. The 20-inch barrel maintains subsonic performance with 175-grain bullets.
