About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms Rogue XP 6.5 PRC 22″ Carbon Threaded Barrel? The Ironclad Armory Fierce Firearms Rogue XP is a precision bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC featuring a 22-inch carbon fiber match-grade threaded barrel and radial muzzle brake. This rifle delivers exceptional accuracy while maintaining field-portable weight under 7 pounds. Designed for hunters and long-range shooters who demand consistency without sacrificing mobility.
What is the Fierce Firearms Rogue XP used for?
This rifle excels as a hunting and precision shooting platform where 600+ yard engagements require both accuracy and portability. The 22-inch carbon barrel provides optimal velocity for the 6.5 PRC cartridge while reducing weight to 6.5 pounds. I've found it performs exceptionally on mountain hunts where every ounce matters but shot placement cannot be compromised.
How does the Fierce Firearms Rogue XP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Rogue XP delivers superior precision and weight reduction compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds with its 20-inch steel barrel, the Rogue XP's carbon barrel drops weight to 6.5 pounds while maintaining tighter groupings at distance. The Stevens offers budget-friendly reliability, but the Rogue XP provides match-grade performance for serious hunters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle measures 42.5 inches overall with a 22-inch barrel and weighs exactly 6.5 pounds. The carbon fiber barrel construction shaves 1.8 pounds compared to traditional steel barrels of similar length. This weight reduction makes it significantly more maneuverable in dense terrain while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent sub-MOA accuracy.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high magazine capacity. At $2,150, it commands a premium over entry-level options like the Stevens 334. The 3+1 capacity limits rapid follow-up shots, making it unsuitable for tactical applications requiring higher volume fire.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with one 3-round detachable magazine, radial muzzle brake installed, and factory test target showing sub-MOA performance. The package includes all mounting hardware for optics but does not include rings or bases. I recommend purchasing quality mounts separately to match your optic's requirements.
Is the Fierce Firearms Rogue XP worth it at $2150?
Absolutely, for shooters who require precision accuracy in a portable package. The carbon barrel technology alone justifies the premium over traditional rifles, providing match-grade performance at hunting rifle weights. When you consider the cost of aftermarket upgrades to achieve similar performance, the Rogue XP represents solid value for serious hunters and precision shooters.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6.5 PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers all SAAMI-spec 6.5 PRC ammunition without modification. I've tested Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X and Federal Premium 135gr Berger Hybrids with excellent results. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 120gr to 156gr effectively.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 42.5-inch overall length fits most 44-inch rifle cases. I transport mine in a Pelican 1750 case with room for optics and accessories. The threaded barrel requires 1/2 inch additional clearance for muzzle device protection.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for in-stock items via FedEx. All firearms ship to your local FFL dealer where you'll complete the transfer. We recommend contacting your FFL beforehand to ensure they accept shipments from online retailers.
- Can I return it if it doesn't meet accuracy expectations?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired rifles in original condition. Once fired, rifles can only be returned for manufacturing defects verified by our armorers. I recommend testing with factory match ammunition first, as handloads may void accuracy guarantees.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts most .30 caliber suppressors including SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Sandman models. I've personally run mine with a SilencerCo Harvester 300 and achieved 1.2 MOA groups suppressed. Always check suppressor manufacturer specifications for caliber compatibility.
