Fierce CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 24in Bolt-Action Rifle

The Fierce CT Rival FP 7mm PRC 24in Bolt-Action Rifle is a purpose-built hunting rig that splits the difference between mountain weight and match-grade precision. At $2599, you get a titanium dual-lug action wrapped in a C3 carbon fiber barrel—hand-lapped, 24 inches, and threaded for a radial titanium muzzle brake. This is a rifle that carries like a lightweight but shoots like a heavy-barreled target gun.

Key Features

• C3 Carbon Fiber Barrel — Hand-lapped barrel liner wrapped in carbon fiber reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness. You get consistent sub-MOA groups even after a string of shots in the field.
• Titanium Dual-Lug Action — The 70-degree bolt throw clears even the biggest objective lenses, and the unobstructed bolt cycle lets you run the action fast without snagging on scope bells.
• Adjustable Comb Stock — The C3 carbon stock includes a fully adjustable cheekpiece so you can align your eye perfectly with the optic. No more stacking tape or buying aftermarket risers.
• Radial Titanium Muzzle Brake — Reduces recoil by approximately 40% according to Fierce’s testing, letting you spot your own hits and stay on target for follow-up shots.
• 3+1 Round Capacity — Detachable box magazine feeds the 7mm PRC reliably. Enough for a hunting scenario without adding bulk to the rifle’s profile.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the long-range hunter who hikes into the backcountry and expects first-round hits at 600+ yards. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig that doesn’t require a gunsmith to tune. If you’re carrying a rifle up a mountain and still demand sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, the CT Rival FP is your tool.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Fierce—every rifle is test-fired and verified before shipping.
• Pro: Titanium action shaves nearly half a pound compared to steel, without compromising strength.
• Pro: 7mm PRC delivers 7mm Rem Mag velocities with less recoil and better BC bullets.
• Con: The carbon fiber barrel heats up faster than a steel barrel during extended strings—plan your shot cadence if you’re shooting groups at the range.

FAQ

What is the effective range of the Fierce CT Rival FP in 7mm PRC?

With a 24-inch barrel and high-BC bullets like the Hornady ELD-X, you can reliably engage targets out to 1,000 yards. The 7mm PRC retains supersonic velocity past 1,500 yards, but practical accuracy depends on your load, wind reading, and shooter skill.

Does this rifle come with a scope or optics?

No, the CT Rival FP is sold as a barreled action and stock only. You’ll need to mount your own optic and rings. The 70-degree bolt throw clears up to 56mm objective lenses without interference.

Is the muzzle brake removable?

Yes, the radial titanium brake is threaded onto the barrel (5/8-24 thread pattern) and can be removed if you prefer to run a suppressor or a thread protector. Fierce includes a thread protector in the box.

What is the twist rate on the 7mm PRC barrel?

Per Fierce specs, the 24-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 160-180 grain bullets. That covers the heavy, high-BC projectiles that make the 7mm PRC shine at distance.
