Fierce Firearms CT Rival LR 300 Win Mag 24″ Carbon Fiber
About this product
The Fierce Firearms CT Rival LR 300 Win Mag 24″ Carbon Fiber is a precision long-range bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters and target shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extreme distances. It combines a titanium action with a carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel to achieve exceptional stability while keeping weight manageable for backcountry use. Chambered in .300 Win Mag, this rifle delivers the ballistic performance needed for ethical harvests beyond 800 yards.
What is the CT Rival LR used for?
The CT Rival LR is designed for long-range hunting and precision target shooting where weight and accuracy are critical. With its 24-inch carbon fiber barrel and titanium action maintaining tight groups under 0.75 MOA, it's ideal for elk, moose, or bear hunting in rugged terrain. The fixed camo stock and radial muzzle brake make it suited for shots from 300 to 1,000 yards where wind drift and recoil management matter.
How does the CT Rival LR compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The CT Rival LR significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 .308 Win in both effective range and terminal ballistics, though at 4.5 times the price. While the Stevens 334 delivers adequate accuracy for deer under 400 yards, the CT Rival LR maintains energy and precision beyond 800 yards thanks to its .300 Win Mag cartridge and premium barrel construction. For mountain hunting where every ounce counts, the CT Rival LR's 6.8 lb weight gives it a 1.2 lb advantage over synthetic-stocked alternatives.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The CT Rival LR weighs 6.8 pounds and measures 44.5 inches overall with its 24-inch barrel. The carbon fiber barrel construction reduces weight by approximately 1.5 pounds compared to traditional steel barrels of the same length. This weight reduction is critical for hunters covering 5-10 miles daily in steep terrain while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't utilize its long-range capabilities. The .300 Win Mag generates substantial recoil (approximately 30 ft-lbs of energy) that requires proper technique to manage effectively. If you primarily hunt whitetail deer within 200 yards, a lighter-recoiling cartridge like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win would be more practical and cost-effective.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the TriggerTech adjustable trigger preset to 2.5 pounds, the radial muzzle brake installed, and a 3-round magazine. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope bases or a hard case, requiring an additional $150-300 investment for mounting hardware. The fixed camo stock comes pre-bedded to the action for immediate accuracy out of the box.
Is the CT Rival LR worth it at $4,895.99?
At $4,895.99, the CT Rival LR justifies its price for serious hunters who regularly take game beyond 500 yards. The titanium action and carbon fiber barrel provide measurable advantages in weight reduction and heat dissipation during extended range sessions. For shooters who need first-round hits at extreme distances, the investment pays dividends in confidence and success rates where marginal gains matter.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it work with standard .300 Win Mag ammunition?
- Yes, the CT Rival LR chambers all SAAMI-spec .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition from 150 to 220 grain projectiles. I've tested Federal Premium, Hornady ELD-X, and Barnes TSX loads with consistent sub-MOA results. The 1:9 twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 220 grains effectively for long-range performance.
- Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
- The radial muzzle brake is threaded 5/8-24 and can be removed for direct suppressor mounting. I recommend using a gunsmith for proper timing and alignment to maintain accuracy. Most .30 caliber suppressors from SilencerCo or Dead Air will work, adding approximately 6-8 inches and 12-16 ounces to the overall package.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Standard shipping to licensed FFL dealers takes 3-5 business days after order processing, which typically adds 1-2 additional days. All shipments require adult signature confirmation and comply with ATF regulations. International shipments to Canada face additional 2-3 week processing for export permits.
- What scope bases fit the titanium action?
- The action uses Remington 700 pattern bases, specifically #8-40 screws for secure mounting. I recommend Warne Mountain Tech or Talley Lightweight rings for maintaining the rifle's weight advantage. The factory does not include bases, requiring separate purchase of $60-120 depending on quality.
