Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR 6.5 PRC 24-inch Bolt-Action, 4+1
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs approximately 6.8 lbs — over 2 lbs lighter than a comparable steel-barreled precision rifle.
- Titanium action provides a 30-40% weight reduction versus steel while maintaining necessary stiffness.
- 24-inch carbon fiber barrel stabilizes point of impact during rapid fire better than a standard sporter contour.
- Integrated 1913 Picatinny rail on forend allows direct bipod attachment without an adapter.
Trade-offs
- No scope base included — adds $80-$150 and requires specific torque wrench for proper installation.
- 6.5 PRC factory ammunition costs $2.75-$4.50 per round, making practice sessions expensive.
- The lightweight build transmits more felt recoil than a heavier rifle, which can affect shooter comfort during long range sessions.

About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR 6.5 PRC 24-inch Bolt-Action? It's a dedicated long-range precision rifle built around a titanium action and a 24-inch, match-grade carbon fiber barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC, designed to provide a stable, lightweight platform for consistent sub-MOA performance at extended distances. This rifle prioritizes weight reduction and mechanical rigidity for the hunter or precision shooter who covers ground. The 4+1 capacity from a detachable AICS-pattern magazine and industry-standard accessory mounting make it a purpose-built tool, not a project gun.
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR used for?
The CT Rage LR is built for long-range steel target shooting and ethical hunting on open terrain like the plains of Montana or the mountains of Colorado. Its 6.5 PRC cartridge, paired with the 24-inch barrel, is optimized to push 140-156 grain bullets at velocities high enough to maintain energy and a flat trajectory well past 800 yards. The lightweight titanium action and carbon fiber barrel keep the system weight manageable for stalking, while the threaded muzzle and integrated rail provide ready options for a suppressor or a heavy, high-magnification optic.
How does the Fierce CT Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CT Rage LR is a completely different class of rifle, built for precision rather than utility. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a dependable, budget-conscious hunting rifle, the CT Rage LR's titanium action and carbon fiber barrel shave over 2 pounds of weight and provide far greater stiffness for consistent accuracy. The Stevens wins on cost and simplicity for whitetail hunting under 300 yards, but the Fierce is superior for extreme range work where component quality, weight savings, and inherent mechanical precision dictate success.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
With an empty magazine and no optic, the CT Rage LR weighs approximately 6.8 pounds, a critical figure for a rifle you'll shoulder for miles in the backcountry. Its overall length is 44.5 inches from the buttpad to the end of the 24-inch barrel, or roughly 42 inches with the included radial brake installed. The barrel's 1:8-inch twist rate is the standard for stabilizing the heavy, high-BC 6.5mm projectiles this rifle is meant to fire, and the action is milled from a single billet of 6AL-4V titanium for strength without excess mass.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the first-time shooter or someone looking for a casual plinker. The 6.5 PRC cartridge is expensive, generates significant recoil for its caliber, and demands careful hand-loading or premium factory ammunition to realize its potential. If your typical shooting is inside 200 yards at a flat-range, you're paying for capability you won't use—a rifle like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win is a more practical and economical choice. It's also not ideal for dense timber hunting where quick shots and short barrels are paramount; this is an open-country instrument.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with the carbon fiber barrel and titanium action mated to the adjustable composite stock, one AICS-pattern 4-round detachable magazine, the factory-installed three-position safety, and the threaded radial muzzle brake. Documentation includes a basic owner's manual and a test-target showing the rifle's capability, typically a sub-1 MOA group at 100 yards. The rifle ships in a fitted hard case. You will need to supply your own optic, rings, ammunition, and a proper torque wrench for mounting.
Is the Fierce CT Rage LR worth it at $3,750?
At $3,750, this rifle is a justifiable investment for a serious long-range shooter who values performance-per-ounce and refuses to compromise on materials. You are paying for the titanium action, which is both lighter and more rigid than a standard steel action, and the carbon-wrapped barrel that dissipates heat quickly and resists point-of-impact shift during strings of fire. Compared to custom-building a rifle of similar spec, this is a turnkey solution that saves time and often money. For the shooter who measures success in tenths of an MOA and pounds on their pack, the cost aligns with the capability.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes. The 24-inch carbon fiber barrel is threaded 5/8"-24 at the muzzle, which is the standard thread pitch for .30 caliber and 6.5mm suppressors. The included radial brake can be removed using a 1-inch wrench, and we recommend using a suppressor alignment rod from a vendor like Midwest Industries or Grizzly Industrial before your first shot with a can attached.
- What type of scope rail does it use?
- The action is drilled and tapped for a Remington 700 short-action footprint scope base. The integral Picatinny rail on the forend is for mounting accessories like a bipod or night vision clip-on. You must purchase and properly torque a separate scope base, such as a 20 MOA cant model from Warne or Seekins Precision, to the action's receiver before mounting your optic.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- For in-stock items, processing and shipping to your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder typically takes 3-5 business days. Transit time via UPS or FedEx varies by location. You must coordinate the transfer directly with your receiving FFL dealer, who will conduct the mandatory background check. We do not ship to residential addresses.
- Can I use standard AICS magazines with it?
- Yes. The CT Rage LR uses the ubiquitous Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) pattern detachable box magazines. The included magazine is a 4-round polymer model, but most aftermarket metal or polymer AICS magazines in .308 Winchester/6.5 Creedmoor dimensions will function, though you must verify feed lip compatibility with the longer 6.5 PRC cartridge overall length.
