About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms Reaper MT — 7mm Remington Magnum, 22″ Barrel? It is a purpose-built mountain hunting and long-range precision rifle that prioritizes a lightweight carbon-fiber composite construction—weighing just 6.2 pounds unloaded—paired with a match-grade 22-inch threaded carbon barrel and a tunable Rival action to deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy in demanding backcountry terrain. This platform was engineered for shooters who must cover vertical feet with their rifle and still make a first-round hit at 500+ yards, incorporating an adjustable folding stock and ambidextrous controls for practical field use beyond the bench.
What is the Fierce Firearms Reaper MT used for?
The Reaper MT is used for mountain hunting and extended-range precision shooting where every ounce matters. The 6.2-pound weight, achieved through extensive use of carbon fiber in the stock, forearm, and pistol grip, directly translates to less fatigue during long stalks and backpack hunts for species like elk or mule deer. Its 1:8.5 twist, 22-inch carbon-wrapped barrel stabilizes long, high-BC 7mm Rem Mag projectiles like the 175-grain ELD-X, making it capable of ethical terminal performance beyond 600 yards when paired with proper optics and shooter skill.
How does the Fierce Reaper MT compare to the Stevens 334?
The Fierce Reaper MT provides superior out-of-the-box precision and a 4.6-pound weight advantage over the budget-friendly Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 is a reliable, 8.8-pound entry-level hunting tool, the Reaper MT's match-grade barrel, tunable Trigger Tech trigger, and rigid carbon-fiber bedding system are engineered for repeatable sub-MOA groups; the 334 is built to a 2-3 MOA price point and standard for its class. You're paying for lab-grade consistency and weight savings that directly affect your physical performance in the field, not just a functional firearm.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle has an unloaded weight of 6.2 pounds (99.2 ounces) and an overall length of 42.5 inches with the stock extended, collapsing to 32 inches when folded. The 22-inch barrel has a 5/8-24 thread pitch, accepting standard muzzle devices and suppressors, while the action length is a standard long action to properly accommodate the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge's 2.850-inch COAL. This compact, sub-7-pound package is the result of strategic material selection, not simply shortening components at the expense of ballistic performance.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the budget-conscious first-time hunter or someone who primarily shoots from a bench at 100-yard ranges. At $3,399, it commands a premium for materials and precision that a novice may not fully utilize, and its lightweight construction transmits more recoil impulse—manageable with the included Nix muzzle brake, but still notable compared to a heavier rifle. If your primary need is a low-cost, general-purpose deer rifle or a plinker, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win; if you prioritize weight savings and long-range capability above all else, this is your tool.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, a 3-round detachable box magazine, the installed Nix muzzle brake, and the manufacturer's documentation including a test target. The rifle ships in a fitted hard case with foam cutouts specific to the folded configuration. Notably, no optic, rings, or bipod are included—this is a bare rifle platform requiring the shooter to select and mount approximately $1,000-$3,000 in supporting optics and accessories to realize its full potential.
Is the Fierce Reaper MT worth it at $3,399?
Yes, but only if your specific use case justifies the investment in advanced composites and match-grade components for backcountry long-range work. The price buys you a 6.2-pound rifle capable of consistent 0.75 MOA groups with factory ammunition, a level of performance and portability not found in factory rifles under $2,000. For the mountain hunter covering 3,000 vertical feet in a day or the precision shooter needing a packable rifle for extended courses, the weight savings and accuracy directly impact success; for occasional range use or timber hunting, the cost is difficult to justify.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.2 lbs (99.2 oz) — critical for mountain hunting where every pound matters
- 22-inch match-grade carbon barrel with 5/8-24 threads for suppressors or brakes
- Sub-MOA guaranteed accuracy with factory ammunition, verified by test target
- Adjustable folding stock reduces packed length to 32 inches for transport
Trade-offs
- Premium $3,399 price reflects advanced materials, not beginner-friendly cost
- Lightweight construction increases perceived recoil versus 8+ lb rifles
- No optic, rings, bipod, or sling included — requires significant additional investment
- 3+1 magazine capacity is standard but less than some chassis systems offer

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the 22-inch carbon barrel has a 5/8-24 thread pitch, which is the standard for .30-caliber and most 7mm suppressor mounts. You can direct-thread most common rifle suppressors or use a muzzle device from companies like Dead Air, SilencerCo, or OSS that interfaces with this thread pattern. Always verify alignment with an alignment rod before firing.
- What optics base does it use?
- The Fierce Rival action uses a Remington 700 long action footprint, which is the industry standard. This means it accepts any Picatinny rail or scope base designed for a Remington 700 long action, available from dozens of manufacturers like Nightforce, Seekins Precision, or Warne. I recommend a 20 MOA cantilevered rail for maximizing long-range elevation adjustment.
- Can the folding stock be locked open?
- Yes, the adjustable folder includes a positive lock mechanism in both the fully extended and folded positions. This is a mechanical lock, not a friction detent, preventing accidental collapse during recoil or transport. The lock release is a lever on the stock's hinge, requiring deliberate manipulation to unlock.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- Processing and shipping typically take 3-5 business days from order verification to departure from our warehouse. Transit time then depends on your FFL's location, usually adding 2-7 business days via FedEx or UPS. You must provide your chosen FFL's information before shipment, and they will conduct the required 4473 background check upon arrival.
