Expert review
About this product
The Fierce Firearms Twisted Rogue 25 Creedmoor is a purpose-built bolt-action precision rifle combining a 22-inch fluted barrel with a carbon-style stock for hunters and target shooters demanding accuracy under field conditions. Built on the proven Remington 700 pattern, this rifle features a 1-in-7.5" twist rate optimized for modern .25 Creedmoor ammunition and a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility. At 6.9 pounds and 44.5 inches overall, it balances portability with the stability needed for consistent long-range performance.
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rogue 25 Creedmoor used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision hunting and medium-range target shooting where weight and accuracy are critical. The 22-inch fluted barrel provides optimal velocity for the .25 Creedmoor cartridge while reducing overall weight to just 6.9 pounds. The carbon stock and 44.5-inch overall length make it exceptionally manageable in blinds or during extended carry.
How does the Twisted Rogue compare to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win?
The Twisted Rogue outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and precision features, weighing 1.8 pounds less despite having a longer barrel. Where the Stevens 334 serves as an affordable utility rifle, the Twisted Rogue includes spiral-fluted bolt, integral bipod rail, and Cerakote finish as standard—features that would require significant aftermarket investment on the Stevens platform. The .25 Creedmoor chambering also offers flatter trajectory than .308 Winchester beyond 400 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.9 pounds (110.4 oz) with an overall length of 44.5 inches and barrel length of 22 inches. The 1-in-7.5" twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 131 grains effectively, while the 3+1 magazine capacity balances quick reloads with a slim profile. The 5/8×24 thread pattern accommodates most modern muzzle devices without adapter requirements.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high-capacity rapid fire. At $1,750, it commands a significant premium over entry-level options like the Stevens series. The specialized .25 Creedmoor chambering also means ammunition costs approximately $2.25 per round compared to $0.85 for common .308 Winchester—making it expensive for high-volume practice.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round detachable magazine, thread protector, and basic documentation. Unlike some competitors, it does not include optic mounts or bipod—expect to budget an additional $300-600 for a complete field-ready setup. The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, saving approximately 45 minutes of gunsmithing time.
Is the Twisted Rogue worth it at $1,750?
At this price point, the Twisted Rogue delivers exceptional value for serious hunters who prioritize weight savings and out-of-the-box precision. The carbon stock and fluted barrel alone represent nearly $800 in premium features compared to synthetic-stocked alternatives. For shooters who value ounces saved during mountain hunts or competition advantages, the investment justifies itself within the first season of use.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Remington 700 accessories?
- Yes, the action follows Remington 700 footprint specifications, allowing direct compatibility with most aftermarket triggers, stocks, and scope bases designed for the 700 pattern. The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped with 6-48 threads for immediate mounting without modification.
- Does it come with a thread protector?
- Yes, a stainless steel 5/8×24 thread protector is included in the box. For suppressor use, I recommend replacing it with a precision-matched muzzle device from manufacturers like SilencerCo or Dead Air to maintain alignment within 0.001" tolerance.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments typically process within 3-5 business days after verification, with transit time of 2-3 additional days to Montana addresses. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature requirement and tracking provided within 24 hours of shipment.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects, with Fierce Firearms providing a lifetime warranty on the action and barrel. For issues requiring repair, expect a 10-14 day turnaround at their factory in Utah before return shipping.
- Does this work with AICS pattern magazines?
- The Twisted Rogue uses proprietary magazine design rather than AICS pattern, limiting aftermarket options. Replacement magazines cost approximately $85 each through Fierce Firearms directly, compared to $60 for standard AICS patterns available from multiple manufacturers.
