About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms Reaper H-Tac 7MM BC 24″ Bolt Action Rifle? It's a lightweight precision hunting rifle chambered in 7MM Backcountry, built on a Remington 700-pattern action with a 24-inch carbon fiber barrel and aluminum chassis. The design balances minimal weight for backcountry mobility with the mechanical accuracy demanded by serious hunters. At 6.1 pounds unloaded, it's specifically engineered for extended carries in rugged terrain where every ounce matters.
What is the Fierce Firearms Reaper H-Tac used for?
The Reaper H-Tac is built for backcountry hunting and precision field shooting where weight and accuracy are critical. With its 24-inch barrel and 1:8 twist rate, it stabilizes long, heavy 7MM Backcountry bullets for consistent performance at extended ranges typical of western mountain hunting. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes, making it suitable for both suppressed hunting and long-range target work.
How does the Fierce Firearms Reaper H-Tac compare to the Stevens 334?
The Reaper H-Tac outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and precision features at a significantly higher price point. While the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds in .308 Win configuration, the Reaper H-Tac achieves 6.1 pounds through carbon fiber construction, making it 1.2 pounds lighter for mountain hunting. The Reaper's chassis system and premium barrel also provide better ergonomics and accuracy potential than the budget-oriented Stevens platform.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.1 pounds (97.6 ounces) and measures 46.25 inches in overall length with the 24-inch barrel. The carbon fiber barrel has a 0.750-inch diameter at the muzzle, tapering to accommodate standard suppressor mounts. The aluminum chassis adds rigidity while maintaining the lightweight profile crucial for extended backcountry carries.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious hunters or those needing high-capacity quick follow-up shots. At $2,499, it's priced beyond entry-level options like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, and the 3+1 capacity limits rapid engagement compared to semi-automatic platforms. Traditional hunters preferring wood stocks may also find the tactical chassis aesthetic unsuitable for classic hunting scenarios.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS-pattern magazine and basic documentation, but no optic mounts or accessories. The package weighs approximately 8.5 pounds shipped, with the factory cardboard box providing minimal protection beyond transit requirements. Serious hunters should budget for quality optics and mounting systems separately.
Is the Fierce Firearms Reaper H-Tac worth it at $2,499?
At $2,499, the Reaper H-Tac delivers premium performance for serious backcountry hunters who value weight savings and accuracy. The carbon fiber barrel and chassis construction justify the price for hunters covering miles of elevation gain, where saving 1-2 pounds significantly impacts endurance. For occasional range use or guided hunts with vehicle access, less expensive options provide adequate performance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Remington 700 accessories?
- Yes, the receiver follows Remington 700 footprint specifications, accepting most aftermarket triggers, stocks, and scope bases designed for that pattern. However, the proprietary chassis system requires specific bottom metal for magazine compatibility. We recommend confirming fitment with manufacturers like Timney or Jewell for aftermarket triggers.
- Does the threaded muzzle accept suppressors?
- The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accommodates most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes without issue. We've tested it with Silencerco Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad models with proper alignment. Always verify thread engagement and use appropriate mounting systems specific to your suppressor model.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms shipping typically takes 7-10 business days after FFL verification is complete, plus additional time for your local FFL to process the transfer. Expect 2-3 days for order processing before shipment, with tracking provided via UPS or FedEx. Rural locations may experience additional transit time.
- Can I return it if there are issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects, but firearms require FFL-to-FFL shipping at customer expense. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse typically don't qualify for return. All returns must be initiated within the 30-day window and include original packaging. Contact customer service at [email protected] for specific cases.
- Does this work with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the chassis system accepts standard AICS-pattern magazines, including the included 3-round magazine. Most aftermarket AICS magazines from manufacturers like Magpul and Accurate-Mag function reliably, though we recommend testing specific brands for fitment. The magazine well accommodates both polymer and metal AICS pattern magazines without modification.
