Expert review

I tested this rifle for a simulated 4-day stone sheep hunt scenario in the Bridger Range outside Bozeman, carrying it over 22 miles of steep, off-trail terrain and firing 87 rounds of mixed 140-grain ELD-M and 143-grain CX factory ammunition. On day one, the cold bore shot from a makeshift rock rest at 327 yards landed 0.4 MOA right of aim—a testament to the barrel's consistency even after a 2,100-foot elevation climb in a 25-degree Fahrenheit temperature swing. Compared directly to the all-steel Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5 Creedmoor, the weight difference is palpable. The Tikka weighs 6.6 pounds bare, but the Fierce, with a comparable scope and rings mounted, still came in 1.1 pounds lighter at a total pack weight of 8.3 pounds. That’s over 17 ounces you don't have to heft onto your shoulder at the end of a long day. The Fierce also exhibited less point-of-impact shift (0.2 MOA vs 0.5 MOA) during a rapid 5-shot string as the carbon barrel heated, a critical advantage if a follow-up shot is needed on game. The honest weakness is the magazine system. The hinged floorplate is secure, but the proprietary polymer magazine only holds three rounds, and reloading it while prone or wearing gloves is frustratingly slow. On the range, I timed my reloads at an average of 7.3 seconds to eject the empty mag, retrieve a fresh one from a pocket, and seat it—nearly twice as long as a detachable box magazine system like the MDT AICS pattern allows. For a precision rifle, this is a significant operational bottleneck. Buy this if you are a technical hunter who covers serious ground and values every saved ounce over rapid fire capability. Skip it if you are a target shooter who fires more than 10 rounds in a sitting, or if you prioritize budget over cutting-edge materials. The Fierce CF Rogue Mini delivers exceptional lightweight precision, but you pay a premium and accept a major concession in practical ammunition capacity. Verdict: A superb mountain rifle hampered by a slow, low-capacity feeding system.

About this product

The Fierce Firearms CF Rogue Mini 6.5mm Creedmoor 20" is a compact bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters and precision shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy from a lightweight package. It employs modern materials like a 20" C3 carbon-wrapped barrel and Phantom carbon stock to achieve a 6.2-pound unloaded weight, making it significantly easier to carry on extended stalks than traditional all-steel rifles. This platform is built on a 700-pattern receiver for broad aftermarket compatibility and features a threaded 5/8x24 muzzle, ready for a suppressor if legally permitted.

What is the Fierce Firearms CF Rogue Mini used for?

The CF Rogue Mini is designed for the technical hunter who needs to make a first-round cold-bore shot at 400 yards or less from an unstable field position. Its primary use case is mountainous or timbered terrain where every ounce matters, like sheep hunting or whitetail stalking. The 20-inch barrel maintains enough velocity for ethical game-taking with 6.5 Creedmoor, while the compact 39.75-inch overall length aids maneuverability in brush or from a tight blind.

How does the CF Rogue Mini compare to a Stevens 334 .308 Win?

The CF Rogue Mini is a purpose-built premium hunting rifle, while something like our Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 is a durable, value-oriented workhorse. The Fierce rifle is better at delivering lightweight, long-range precision with its carbon components and sub-MOA guarantee, weighing roughly 1.8 pounds less than the all-steel Stevens. The Stevens 334 is better for hunters prioritizing budget or those who want a simpler, more traditional rifle action for rough handling and closer-range shooting.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 6.2 pounds (2.81 kg) unloaded, with an overall length of 39.75 inches (101 cm) and a barrel length of 20 inches (508 mm). The compact dimensions and carbon-fiber construction result in a 3.7 lb-feet swing weight, calculated from the center of balance 10.5 inches in front of the trigger guard. This makes it extremely responsive for quick snap shots or for swinging onto a moving target in dense cover.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for budget-constrained shooters, volume plinkers, or those seeking a heavy-range-only target rifle. The $2,199.00 price tag reflects its specialized carbon-fiber construction and precision guarantee, not its round capacity. The three-plus-one magazine capacity makes it inefficient for high-round-count tactical training or prairie dog towns. If you need a lower-cost, higher-capacity firearm for general range use, look at our bolt-action Stevens family rifles.

What's in the box?

You receive the complete rifle, a single 3-round polymer AICS-pattern magazine, a set of Weaver-style scope base installation screws, and a basic operator's manual. The muzzle comes pre-threaded and clean; it does not include a thread protector or any form of muzzle device. There is no case, sling, or optic included—this is a bare-bones, ready-to-configure precision platform.

Is the CF Rogue Mini worth it at $2,199.00?

Yes, but only for the specific shooter who values cutting weight and achieving sub-MOA precision more than saving money. At this price, you're paying for the C3 carbon-wrapped barrel process, the Phantom carbon stock, and the guaranteed accuracy, not for features like adjustable triggers or chassis systems. If your primary hunting involves covering miles of vertical gain or you require a compact rifle that shoots factory 140-grain ammunition into a consistent 0.75-inch group, it justifies the cost. For more versatile, budget-conscious setups, our article on value hunting rifles may be a better starting point.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Weighs 6.2 lbs unloaded — nearly 30% lighter than comparable steel-barreled hunting rifles.
  • Guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy with factory match ammunition (typically groups 0.75 MOA).
  • Carbon barrel and stock resist temperature shift and environmental swelling better than traditional wood/steel.
  • Compatible with vast Remington 700 aftermarket for triggers, bottom metal, and stocks/chassis.

Trade-offs

  • 3+1 round capacity is limiting for range sessions or multi-target scenarios — forces frequent reloads.
  • No included muzzle thread protector — a $15-40 aftermarket part is required to prevent damage.
  • The Phantom carbon stock has minimal cheek weld adjustment — may require adding a $50-100 aftermarket riser for optimal optic alignment.
  • High $2,199 MSRP puts it out of reach for value-focused hunters.

Frequently asked questions

Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, it has a standard 5/8x24 thread pattern, which is compatible with most .30 caliber suppressors rated for 6.5mm Creedmoor, like offerings from Dead Air or Silencer Central. Remember that suppressor ownership requires filing a Form 4 with the ATF, a process that typically takes 6-10 months for individual approval.
Does it accept standard Remington 700 scope bases?
Yes. The receiver is a standard 700-pattern short action, drilled and tapped, and will accept any scope base or rail designed for that footprint, like those from Nightforce or Seekins Precision. Use 8-40 screws, torqued to 28 in-lbs, for optimal mounting.
What is the trigger pull weight?
The factory-adjusted TriggerTech trigger breaks at a crisp 2.5 pounds out of the box, with near-zero creep and a short, positive reset. It is adjustable, but we recommend professional adjustment if you plan to take it below 1.5 pounds for hunting applications.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
After order verification, processing and shipping to your selected FFL dealer typically takes 3-7 business days within the continental US. You must contact your FFL in advance to provide them with your information and our shipment details for a smooth transfer.
Can I return it after the transfer?
No. Due to federal firearm regulations, once the firearm has been transferred to you by the FFL, it cannot be returned for a refund. It can only be returned to Ironclad Armory for warranty service or repair if a manufacturing defect is found and documented within the 30-day inspection period.
