Fierce Firearms Twisted Rival FP .300 PRC 20in
About this product
The Fierce Firearms Twisted Rival FP .300 PRC 20in is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy from a lightweight, field-ready platform. Built around a match-grade twisted/fluted barrel and carbon fiber chassis, this rifle represents the current industry standard for hunters and long-range competitors who refuse to compromise between weight and precision. The $1,999 price point positions it against premium factory rifles like the Christensen Arms MPR but with Fierce's signature attention to bedding and barrel harmonics.
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rival FP used for?
This rifle is built for extending ethical shot distances on large game and competing in PRS-style matches where weight and balance matter. The 20-inch barrel provides optimal velocity retention for the .300 PRC cartridge while maintaining maneuverability in tight hunting blinds or vehicles. I've found it particularly effective for elk and bear hunting where shots often occur between 300-600 yards.
How does the Twisted Rival FP compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Twisted Rival FP delivers significantly better long-range ballistics and precision than budget rifles like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, but costs nearly four times as much. Where the Stevens might shoot 1.5-2 MOA groups with factory ammo, the Fierce consistently prints sub-MOA groups thanks to its hand-lapped barrel and carbon bedding system. For serious long-range work, the Fierce is objectively better; for casual range use, the Stevens represents better value.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.2 pounds unscoped and measures 40.5 inches overall length with the 20-inch barrel. The carbon fiber stock contributes significantly to the lightweight design, coming in nearly 2 pounds lighter than comparable walnut-stocked rifles. The 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most shooters comfortably without requiring adjustment.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't appreciate its precision capabilities. The .300 PRC cartridge costs $3-5 per round versus $1-1.50 for .308 Winchester, making practice expensive. If you're primarily shooting at ranges under 200 yards or don't reload, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with radial muzzle brake installed, one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, and basic warranty documentation. Unlike some competitors, Fierce includes the muzzle device rather than charging extra. The box includes protective foam cutouts but no optic mounts or cleaning kits.
Is the Twisted Rival FP worth it at $1,999?
At $1,999, this rifle delivers exceptional value for serious long-range shooters who understand precision rifle economics. The carbon fiber stock alone would cost $800-1,200 as an aftermarket upgrade, while the match-grade barrel represents another $600-900 in value. For hunters needing first-round cold-bore accuracy at extreme distances, this is one of the best factory options available.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, the Twisted Rival FP uses standard AICS pattern magazines. The rifle ships with one 3-round magazine but accepts all aftermarket AICS .300 PRC magazines from brands like Accuracy International and Magpul. Magazine cost ranges from $80-150 depending on capacity and manufacturer.
- Does it work with suppressors?
- The rifle accepts suppressors with minimal modification. The 5/8x24 threaded barrel accommodates most .30 caliber suppressors, though you'll need to remove the radial brake first. Expect 1-2 inch point of impact shift when switching between suppressed and unsuppressed firing.
- How long does shipping take?
- Most orders ship within 3 business days via FedEx Ground. Delivery typically takes 5-7 business days continental US. FFL requirements add 1-2 days for background check processing depending on your local dealer's efficiency.
- Can I return it if there are accuracy issues?
- Fierce Firearms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition. If the rifle fails to meet this standard, they'll inspect and repair or replace it within 30 days. You must provide three 3-shot groups using premium ammunition like Hornady ELD-M or Federal Gold Medal Berger.
- Does this work with standard scope mounts?
- The action uses Remington 700 footprint, so most aftermarket rails and rings will fit perfectly. I recommend 20 MOA bases from Seekins Precision or Nightforce for long-range applications. Mount height typically requires medium or high rings for 50mm objective lenses.
