Fierce Firearms CT Rage 6.5 PRC 22″ Carbon Fiber

About this product

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage 6.5 PRC 22" Carbon Fiber rifle? It is a purpose-built, ultra-lightweight hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, designed around a titanium short action and a carbon fiber-wrapped match-grade barrel. This configuration delivers long-range precision in a package engineered specifically for backcountry mobility and extended glassing-and-walking hunts where every ounce matters.

From my perspective as an armorer, the CT Rage represents a modern approach to mountain rifles, sacrificing nothing in accuracy while aggressively managing weight through material science. The 6.10-pound unloaded weight is not an accident; it’s the result of titanium and carbon fiber working together to create a stable shooting platform you can carry all day.

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage 6.5 PRC 22" Carbon Fiber used for?

The CT Rage is engineered for multi-day mountain hunts and long-range precision shooting in variable terrain where weight savings equal physical endurance. Its core mission is to deliver first-round cold-bore accuracy at ethical hunting distances under field conditions, not on a concrete bench. The 22-inch carbon fiber barrel provides the optimal velocity node for 6.5 PRC while remaining maneuverable in tight timber or from a vehicle window, and the fixed Monte Carlo stock offers a consistent cheek weld for rapid follow-up shots.

How does the Fierce Firearms CT Rage compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?

The CT Rage is a purpose-built precision tool while the Stevens 334 .308 Win is a durable, budget-conscious utility rifle. The CT Rage’s titanium action and carbon fiber barrel make it 2.5 pounds lighter than the Stevens 334, a difference you'll feel after eight miles. For pure long-range ballistic performance and weight savings, the CT Rage is superior; for a reliable, cost-effective rifle for general-purpose hunting under 400 yards, the Stevens 334 is the better value. You're comparing a specialized scalpel to a dependable pocket knife.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle has an unloaded weight of 6.10 pounds (2.77 kg) and an overall length of 41.5 inches from the buttstock to the tip of its 5/8"-24 threaded muzzle. The 22-inch barrel has a diameter of 0.750" at the muzzle, tapering to the carbon fiber wrap. The titanium action has a footprint of 8.2 inches, and the 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 153-grain A-Tip for superior long-range performance. This compact, lightweight form factor allows it to be carried in a standard 42-inch scabbard.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the budget-conscious, casual-range shooter, or anyone whose primary use is inside 300 yards on flat ground. Its $3,399 price justifies its specialized materials, and the 6.5 PRC cartridge’s premium ammunition cost, around $3.50 per round, makes high-volume practice expensive. If your hunting consists of box-stand whitetails, you’ll derive no benefit from its carbon fiber and titanium construction; a rifle like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers 90% of the terminal performance at less than 40% of the cost. It's also a poor NFA host for a short-barreled rifle conversion due to its proprietary barrel nut system.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with the radial muzzle brake pre-installed, a thread protector, and a set of sling swivel studs. It does not include a scope, rings, bipod, or a padded soft case as standard—those are required add-ons to make it field-ready. The factory ships it in a cardboard shipping container with minimal internal foam, which is sufficient for dealer transfer but not for repeated field transport; plan to invest in a quality hard case, like a Pelican Air 1750, immediately. The trigger adjustment tool is included for the Trigger Tech Primary ProCurve.

Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage 6.5 PRC 22" Carbon Fiber worth it at $3,399?

Yes, if your primary metric is ounces saved per dollar while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy for mountain hunting. At its core, you are paying for the labor-intensive marriage of a titanium action to a carbon fiber barrel, a process that adds significant cost over a standard steel/barrel combo. For the hunter covering 5-10 miles daily in steep terrain, the cumulative fatigue reduction over a week justifies the investment. However, if your hunting involves mostly truck-to-stand walking, the weight savings become a luxury, and a more traditional rifle, like a Stevens 334, will save you over $2,000 for similar game-taking capability at moderate ranges.
