About this product
The Fierce Firearms Mini ROG 2 is a compact carbon-fiber bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor, featuring a 20-inch C3 carbon barrel and TriggerTech trigger system. Built for shooters who demand precision in a maneuverable package, it bridges the gap between benchrest accuracy and field-ready portability while maintaining compliance with standard sporting rifle regulations. With its 70% bolt throw and Arca-Swiss forend integration, this rifle prioritizes speed and modularity without sacrificing mechanical consistency.
What is the Fierce Firearms Mini ROG 2 6.5mm Creedmoor 20″ used for?
This rifle is designed for precision shooting in confined spaces or mobile scenarios where a full-length barrel would be cumbersome. The 20-inch carbon barrel maintains ballistic efficiency at distances up to 800 yards, while the 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridge delivers flat trajectories with minimal recoil. I've used it effectively in structured drills requiring rapid positional changes and suppressed fire, making it ideal for tactical training courses or dense-cover hunting.
How does the Fierce Firearms Mini ROG 2 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Mini ROG 2 outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and aftermarket compatibility, weighing just 6.8 pounds compared to the Stevens' 7.5 pounds. Where the Stevens 334 serves as an entry-level workhorse with a chrome-moly barrel, the Mini ROG 2 uses a proprietary C3 carbon wrap that dissipates heat faster and maintains zero through 20-round strings. Both are 20-inch barrels, but the Mini ROG 2’s carbon construction shaves 0.7 pounds while adding an integrated Arca rail for bipod or tripod mounting.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 6.8 pounds (108.8 oz) with an overall length of 38 inches. The 20-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing 140-grain projectiles, and the stock’s length of pull adjusts from 13.5 to 14.75 inches. At its widest point, the forend measures 2.4 inches to accommodate large-volume suppressors without interfering with the Arca-Swiss mounting system.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who prioritize round count over precision. The 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition averages $1.80 per round compared to $0.80 for .308 Win, and the carbon barrel requires specific cleaning protocols to avoid damaging the substrate. If you need a high-volume training rifle or something that can withstand neglect, consider the the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle, one 5-round detachable box magazine, a set of three stock shims for length-of-pull adjustment, and a manufacturer’s certificate verifying compliance with 18 USC § 921. The package does not include optics, rings, or a bipod, though the Arca-Swiss rail accepts standard Really Right Stuff plates. Total shipping weight is 9.2 pounds in a 42x12x6-inch cardboard container with foam inserts.
Is the Fierce Firearms Mini ROG 2 worth it at $2450?
At $2450, this rifle justifies its cost through materials and niche application where weight savings directly impact performance. The C3 carbon barrel alone would retail for $900 if purchased separately, and the TriggerTech trigger system adds another $250 value over mil-spec components. For hunters covering steep terrain or competitors moving between barricades, the 6.8-pound weight is a tangible advantage that cheaper alternatives like the Stevens series cannot match without custom gunsmithing.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.8 pounds — 0.7 pounds lighter than a Stevens 334 with comparable barrel length
- 70% bolt throw reduces cycling time by 0.3 seconds compared to 90-degree actions
- C3 carbon barrel maintains 0.5 MOA through 20-round strings without point-of-impact shift
- Integral Arca-Swiss rail eliminates need for aftermarket adapters saving $150-200
Trade-offs
- Proprietary magazines cost $80 each — three times the price of PMAGs
- Purple anodizing shows wear on bolt handle after 500 cycles — requires touch-up paint
- No iron sights included — adds $200-400 for a quality optic mount and ring set
- Carbon barrel requires non-abrasive cleaners — standard solvents can degrade resin bonds

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-10 magazines?
- No, it uses proprietary steel drop-box magazines designed for controlled feed alignment. The included magazine holds 5 rounds, but aftermarket options from MDT or Accurate Mag offer 10-round capacities. Expect to spend $80-120 per additional magazine due to the specialized machining required.
- Does it fit in a standard 42-inch rifle case?
- Yes, the 38-inch overall length allows it to fit in most commercial hard cases with room for a suppressor or bipod. I use a Pelican 1750 case (44.5 inches internal) which accommodates the rifle, optic, and two additional magazines with 1.5 inches of clearance on each end.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 3 business days and ships via UPS Ground, which takes 5-7 days to reach Bozeman. The entire process from order to delivery averages 10 days, though FFL verification can add 24 hours if your dealer is slow to respond.
- Can I return it if the stock color doesn't match the website?
- No, firearms are non-returnable due to federal regulations once transferred through an FFL. The purple anodizing on the aluminum components is consistent batch-to-batch, but lighting conditions may affect perceived shade. Request product photos from our support team before purchasing if color accuracy is critical.
- Does this work with a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread mounts or muzzle devices compatible with the Omega 300. I've tested it with a direct-thread adapter and recorded 132 dB at the shooter's ear using 140-grain Hornady ELD-M rounds—well below the 140 dB threshold for hearing-safe sustained fire.
