Fierce Firearms CT Rival XP 300 Win Mag 22-inch C3 Carbon

About this product

The Fierce Firearms CT Rival XP is a precision-crafted, carbon-fiber bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, engineered for hunters who need to make ethical shots at extreme distances under variable field conditions. This rifle represents a significant investment at $2,750, placing it in a category focused on eliminating mechanical variables rather than offering budget-friendly options. Its 22-inch C3 carbon fiber barrel, titanium receiver, and fully adjustable carbon-fiber stock make it a purpose-built tool for the serious shooter.

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rival XP used for?

This rifle is built for 1,200+ yard game-taking and precision target shooting where weight is a primary logistics concern. The .300 Win Mag chambering provides ample energy for large North American game like elk or moose at extended ranges, while the carbon-fiber construction reduces carried weight to just 6.8 pounds. This weight savings translates directly to steadier off-hand holds after a 4-mile hike at altitude.

How does the CT Rival XP compare to the Stevens 334?

The CT Rival XP is mechanically superior to our entry-level Stevens 334 in .308 Win, but at a significant cost multiplier. The Stevens 334 is a $450 rifle for general-purpose hunting, while the CT Rival XP is a $2,750 system built around a hand-lapped, match-grade barrel liner and titanium action for sub-MOA accuracy. For the budget-conscious shooter who needs a reliable tool, the Stevens 334 is the better value; for the hunter where every fraction of an MOA matters, the Fierce is the clear choice.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds (3.08 kg) without optics, with an overall length of 42.5 inches from buttpad to muzzle with the included radial brake installed. The 22-inch barrel, with its 1:10 twist rate, provides optimal velocity for factory-loaded 180-220 grain .300 Win Mag rounds. The adjustable cheek riser provides 0.75 inches of vertical height adjustment to perfectly align your eye through a high-mount scope.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for a new shooter looking for their first deer rifle or someone on a tight budget. The .300 Winchester Magnum round generates significant recoil and expense per shot, and the rifle's lightweight construction amplifies felt recoil compared to heavier steel equivalents. If your typical shot is under 300 yards, consider a less powerful, more affordable cartridge and a rifle like our Stevens 334 in .243 Win.

What’s in the box?

You receive the rifle fitted with its radial titanium muzzle brake, one 3-round, steel, detachable box magazine (for a total capacity of 3+1), and a set of flush-cup sling studs pre-installed in the stock. Fierce Firearms does not include a scope base, rings, a case, or any other accessories, as they assume purchasers at this price point will be selecting their own premium optics mounting system.

Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rival XP worth it at $2,750?

For the dedicated long-range hunter seeking maximum accuracy with minimum carried weight, the CT Rival XP justifies its price through material quality and performance guarantees. The titanium action is corrosion-resistant and adds strength without mass, while the C3 carbon barrel maintains rigidity for repeatable harmonics. If your needs don't require this specific blend of distance, power, and portability, the cost is difficult to justify against more traditional all-steel rifles priced 40-50% lower.
