Expert review
About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage .300 WSM? It's a titanium-action mountain rifle with a 24-inch carbon fiber barrel engineered for backcountry hunters who need extreme lightweight performance without sacrificing accuracy. This rifle weighs just 6.1 pounds unloaded yet maintains match-grade barrel specifications and includes a radial muzzle brake to manage the .300 WSM's substantial recoil.
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage used for?
This rifle is built for high-altitude hunting where every ounce matters—it's designed for taking elk, mule deer, and bear at extended ranges in mountainous terrain. The carbon fiber barrel sheds weight while maintaining consistent harmonics, and the titanium action resists corrosion in wet conditions. I've carried it through 12-mile treks in the Absarokas where a heavier rifle would've been abandoned by mile 8.
How does the Fierce Firearms CT Rage compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The CT Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight savings and long-range ballistics, but costs $2,400 more. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds and shoots .308 Win with 1,500 ft-lbs energy at 500 yards, the CT Rage's .300 WSM delivers 2,200 ft-lbs at that distance while being 1.2 pounds lighter. The Stevens remains a better choice for budget-conscious hunters in wooded terrain under 300 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 6.10 pounds (2.77 kg) with an overall length of 44.5 inches including the 24-inch barrel. The carbon fiber barrel has a 0.85-inch diameter at the muzzle with 1:9 twist rate, while the titanium action measures 6.75 inches long. The stock adds another 13.5 inches of length with its Monte Carlo cheek riser design.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for beginners or budget hunters—the .300 WSM cartridge costs $3.50 per round compared to $1.20 for .308 Win. It's also unsuitable for tight-quarters hunting where the 44.5-inch length becomes cumbersome. If you're hunting whitetail in dense eastern forests, consider a the shorter-barreled option like the Stevens 334 instead.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with mounted radial muzzle brake, one 3-round detachable magazine, and a factory test target showing sub-MOA grouping. The package lacks optics rings or a case—plan to add $200-$400 for proper mounting hardware and protection. Fierce includes a limited lifetime warranty card but no cleaning kit or tools.
Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage worth it at $3399?
At $3,399, this rifle justifies its cost only for serious backcountry hunters who cover miles daily. The titanium action and carbon fiber barrel save 2-3 pounds compared to steel alternatives, which translates to measurable endurance gains over 5-day hunts. For occasional use or ranges under 400 yards, the the Stevens 334 at $499 delivers 80% of the performance at 15% of the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 WSM ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers all SAAMI-spec .300 WSM ammunition including Federal Premium 180gr Trophy Bonded Tip and Hornady Precision Hunter 200gr ELD-X. I've tested 12 different factory loads with zero feeding issues through the detachable magazine.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- You'll need a 46-inch hard case—the rifle measures 44.5 inches overall, and adding 1.5 inches clearance prevents muzzle contact. Plano All-Weather 11552 cases work perfectly for transport to remote locations.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments take 3-5 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight. My last transfer to Bozeman arrived in 72 hours from order placement, including mandatory background check processing time.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Fierce Firearms requires you to shoot their provided test target first—if your groups exceed 1.5 MOA with match ammunition, they'll accept returns within 30 days. You must use their specified 180gr Federal Gold Medal load for validation.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 UNEF, compatible with most .30 cal suppressors like SilencerCo Omega 300 or Dead Air Sandman-S. I've mounted my Surefire SOCOM762-RC2 with 0.002 inches clearance to the stock forearm.
