Key Features
- Hand-Lapped Match Grade Carbon Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The hand-lapped process ensures consistent bore dimensions and minimal friction, delivering sub-MOA accuracy with factory ammunition and giving you confidence on long-range shots.
- 70-Degree Bolt Throw with 2-Lug Action – WHY IT MATTERS: A short 70-degree lift clears low-mounted scopes and allows faster follow-up shots without breaking your cheek weld, critical when a bull elk steps out at last light.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser Carbon Fiber Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The fully adjustable cheek piece lets you dial in perfect eye alignment with any optic, eliminating parallax error and improving consistency from prone to standing positions.
- Ergo Palmswell Grip – WHY IT MATTERS: The palm swell fills your hand naturally, reducing fatigue during long hikes and providing a secure, repeatable hold that translates into tighter groups on the range and in the field.
- Detachable Magazine Box – WHY IT MATTERS: Reloads are quick and safe with the detachable box magazine, and it allows you to unload without cycling rounds through the chamber—a real advantage in camp or at the truck.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the backcountry hunter who demands both weight savings and precision. Whether you’re chasing mule deer in the Rockies, pronghorn on the plains, or elk in steep timber, the Carbon Rival FP gives you a rifle that carries like a featherweight and shoots like a heavy custom. It also suits the long-range target shooter who wants a portable platform for steel out to 1,000 yards.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, lightweight at 6.5 lbs, includes a titanium muzzle brake for recoil reduction, adjustable stock fits a wide range of shooters, smooth 70-degree bolt lift.
- Cons: The carbon fiber stock may feel narrow for shooters with larger hands; aftermarket stock options are limited due to the proprietary inlet pattern.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate for the 7mm PRC?
The Fierce Carbon Rival FP in 7mm PRC uses a 1:8″ twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 140 to 180 grains effectively for long-range hunting and target work.
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700-style bases. You’ll need to purchase bases and rings separately. Fierce recommends Talley or Leupold mounts for a low, solid setup.
Can I use this rifle for elk hunting?
Absolutely. The 7mm PRC with a 175-grain bullet delivers energy comparable to the .300 Win Mag at typical hunting ranges, making it a top choice for elk, moose, and bear.
Is the titanium muzzle brake removable?
Yes, the brake is threaded onto the barrel and can be removed if you prefer to run a suppressor or a thread protector. Note that removing the brake will increase felt recoil.
