Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival XP .300 PRC 22-inch

The Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival XP .300 PRC 22-inch is a production-ready precision hunting rifle that splits the difference between a mountain rifle and a match gun. The 22-inch C3 carbon-fiber barrel with hand-lapped liner keeps weight low without sacrificing the velocity needed to ring steel at 1,200 yards. The drop-box magazine feeds the .300 PRC rounds smoothly, and the radial titanium muzzle brake cuts recoil so you can spot your own impacts. This rifle carries the Fierce 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, backed by a test target in the box.

Key Features

• C3 Carbon-Fiber Barrel, 22-inch – The hand-lapped liner and carbon wrap cut weight to 6.8 lbs while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent sub-MOA groups. You can carry this rifle up a mountain without feeling the miles.
• Adjustable Comb Stock with Vertical Palm Swell – The comb adjusts for cheek weld height, and the vertical palm swell forces your hand into a natural, repeatable grip. This means your head position stays the same shot after shot, reducing vertical stringing.
• Drop-Box Magazine – The detachable box magazine feeds the .300 PRC cartridge from a compact, flush-fitting design. No hang-ups on the feed ramp, no rim-lock issues.
• Radial Titanium Muzzle Brake – The radial brake vents gas in a 360-degree pattern, reducing felt recoil by roughly 40%. You can stay on the reticle through the recoil impulse and call your misses instantly.
• Stainless Dual-Lug Action, 700-Pattern – The action is machined from stainless steel and accepts Remington 700 triggers and stocks. You get a production rifle that can be upgraded with any aftermarket trigger or chassis on the market.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the long-range hunter who demands match-grade accuracy from a sub-7-pound package. If you are shooting the .300 PRC for elk, mule deer, or steel out to 1,400 yards, the Carbon Rival XP gives you the barrel length to reach velocity without the weight penalty. It also fits the precision hunter who wants a rifle that shoots as well from a bipod as it does from a pack frame.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a 22-inch carbon barrel – you can carry this rifle all day.
• Pro: 1/2 MOA guarantee with test target – Fierce stands behind the accuracy.
• Pro: 700-pattern compatibility – you can swap triggers and stocks easily.
• Con: The radial muzzle brake is loud for the shooter next to you – plan on ear pro for the whole line.
• Con: The drop-box magazine capacity is only 3+1 – you will need to reload more often during a stage.
