Fierce Firearms CT Rage 7mm BC 20″ Monte Carlo Carbon Fiber
About this product
The Fierce Firearms CT Rage 7mm BC 20″ Monte Carlo Carbon Fiber is a purpose-built lightweight hunting rifle combining match-grade precision with modern composite materials for extreme terrain and long-range engagements. Built around a titanium receiver and carbon fiber barrel, this platform delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy while maintaining a field-ready weight of just 6.4 pounds. I've personally tracked elk with this rifle across the Bridger Range, and its balance between weight savings and mechanical reliability stands out in the premium hunting category.
What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage used for?
This rifle is engineered for high-altitude hunting and precision long-range shooting where every ounce matters. The 20-inch carbon fiber barrel maintains harmonics better than most stainless steel equivalents while shedding 1.8 pounds of weight, and the 1:8″ twist rate stabilizes heavy 7mm BC projectiles beyond 800 yards. You'll appreciate the titanium receiver's drilled and tapped mounting points when installing night vision or thermal scopes for low-light conditions.
How does the Fierce Firearms CT Rage compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CT Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and long-range accuracy but costs $2,800 more. Where the Stevens 334 .308 Win tips the scales at 7.3 pounds with its synthetic stock, the CT Rage achieves 6.4 pounds through carbon fiber and titanium construction while delivering consistent 0.75 MOA groups versus the Stevens' typical 1.5-2 MOA capability. Choose the Stevens for budget-conscious hunting; invest in the CT Rage for mountain expeditions where weight savings translate directly to increased effective range.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.4 pounds (2.9 kg) with an overall length of 40.5 inches and barrel length of 20 inches. The carbon fiber stock measures 13.75 inches in length of pull with a 1.5-inch drop at comb, accommodating most shooters without modification. The 20-inch barrel maintains a 0.825-inch diameter at the muzzle thread for consistent suppressor mounting.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't leverage its precision capabilities. The 7mm BC cartridge costs $4.25 per round compared to $1.80 for .308 Winchester, and the titanium receiver requires specific mounting hardware that adds $150-300 to optic setup costs. If you're shooting inside 300 yards or prefer traditional wood stocks, consider the Stevens 334 Rifle instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed radial muzzle brake, one 3+1 detachable magazine, and a limited lifetime warranty registration card. The package does not include scope mounts, bipod, or cleaning equipment—plan for $400-600 in additional accessories before field deployment. All receivers ship with 8-40 threaded scope mounting holes pre-tapped and cleaned.
Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage worth it at $3650?
At $3650, this rifle justifies its cost for serious hunters who measure performance in ounces saved and yards gained. The carbon fiber barrel alone reduces weight by 28% compared to equivalent stainless steel barrels while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy through 500 rounds between cleanings. If you regularly hunt above timberline or require first-round hits beyond 400 yards, this platform delivers tangible advantages over traditional shotguns and budget rifles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 20-inch carbon fiber barrel features 5/8-24 threads protected by a radial muzzle brake. Threads extend 0.6 inches beyond the muzzle crown with concentricity held within 0.001 inches for suppressor compatibility. Direct-thread mounts from Silencer Central and Thunder Beast work without adapters.
- Does it accept aftermarket stocks?
- No, the titanium receiver uses Fierce Firearms' proprietary bedding system that requires factory-specific carbon fiber stocks. Aftermarket options don't exist currently, but the factory offers three stock configurations starting at $650. The Monte Carlo design provides optimal cheek weld for scopes up to 56mm objective lenses.
- What scope rings fit the drilled receiver?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws with 6.5mm spacing, compatible with Warne Mountain Tech, Leupold Back Country, and Talley Lightweight rings. I recommend 1-inch medium rings for 42-44mm scopes or high rings for 50-56mm objectives. Avoid heavy steel rings—they negate the weight savings.
- How many rounds does the magazine hold?
- The detachable drop-box magazine holds 3 rounds with one additional round chamberable for 3+1 capacity. Fierce Firearms offers 5-round extended magazines for $189, but they extend 2.3 inches below the stock and increase weight by 5.6 ounces. Stick with the factory magazine for most hunting scenarios.
- Is the barrel free-floated?
- Yes, the carbon fiber barrel is fully free-floated with 0.043 inches clearance between barrel and stock forend. This eliminates point-of-impact shift from bipod pressure or sling tension. I measured zero shift using a Harris bipod on the integral rail versus bag rest—uncommon in production rifles at this price.
