About this product
What is the Fierce Twisted Rival XP .300 PRC 24″ Bolt Rifle? It's a purpose-built long-range precision rifle engineered for hunters and competitive shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances. This rifle combines a carbon fiber stock with a stainless steel action to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining manageable weight.
What is the Fierce Twisted Rival XP used for?
The Twisted Rival XP is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting applications where first-round hits matter. With its 24-inch barrel and 1:9" twist rate, it stabilizes heavy .300 PRC projectiles effectively out to 1,200 yards. The adjustable comb stock ensures consistent cheek weld with high-magnification optics.
How does the Fierce Twisted Rival XP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Twisted Rival XP outperforms the Stevens 334 in long-range precision but costs significantly more. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers reliable performance at 600 yards for $650, the Fierce rifle delivers sub-MOA groups at 1,000+ yards and weighs 1.4 pounds less at 6.6 lbs total.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.6 pounds and measures 44.5 inches overall length. The 24-inch barrel contributes to the length while the carbon fiber stock keeps weight down. The balance point sits 3.5 inches forward of the trigger guard, making it comfortable for extended carrying during hunts.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high magazine capacity. At $2,150, it's nearly triple the price of entry-level precision rifles like the Stevens 334. The 3+1 capacity limits rapid engagement scenarios, making it unsuitable for tactical applications requiring higher round counts.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round drop-box magazine and basic documentation. Unlike some competitors, it doesn't include a muzzle device or scope mounting hardware. The trigger comes factory-set at 2.75 pounds pull weight, which is ideal for precision work but may require adjustment for hunting applications.
Is the Fierce Twisted Rival XP worth it at $2150?
Yes, if you require guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy and lightweight construction for backcountry hunting. The carbon fiber stock and precision-machined action justify the premium over synthetic-stock rifles. For most recreational shooters, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win provides adequate performance at one-third the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 PRC ammunition?
- Yes, the Twisted Rival XP chambers and cycles all SAAMI-spec .300 PRC ammunition. I've tested it with Hornady ELD-X 225 grain and Berger 230 grain hybrids without feeding issues. The 1:9" twist rate optimally stabilizes bullets from 190 to 250 grains.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits standard 46-inch rifle cases with room to spare. The overall length is 44.5 inches, allowing space for optics and accessories. I recommend Pelican 1750 cases for maximum protection during transport to remote hunting locations.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for continental US addresses. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature required. FFL paperwork adds 1-2 business days to processing time before shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Yes, Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days if the rifle fails to meet its sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. You must provide 5-shot groups at 100 yards using match-grade ammunition. Return shipping costs $75 and requires FFL-to-FFL transfer.
- Does this work with suppressor mounts?
- Yes, the 24-inch barrel features 5/8x24 threads compatible with most .30 cal suppressors. I've mounted SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Sandman-S models without alignment issues. Thread protector included but muzzle device sold separately.
