About Fierce Firearms
Founded in St. George, Utah, Fierce Firearms has built a reputation for ultralight, high-performance bolt-action rifles favored by backcountry hunters and precision shooters. Every Fierce rifle is built around a carbon fiber barrel wrapped in-house, a carbon fiber or lightweight synthetic stock, and a hand-bedded action — producing a rifle that weighs less than most competitors while shooting tighter groups.
What Sets Fierce Apart
Carbon fiber barrels — Fierce wraps their barrels with carbon fiber over a stainless steel liner. This dramatically reduces weight while actually improving heat dissipation. A carbon-wrapped Fierce barrel runs cooler and stays more consistent shot-to-shot than a comparable stainless profile.
Sub-MOA guarantee — Every Fierce rifle ships with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using quality factory ammunition. Verified at the factory before the rifle ships.
American-made — Designed and built in St. George, Utah. Fierce maintains tight control over manufacturing, which is why their quality consistency is unusually high for a boutique manufacturer.
Fierce Model Guide
Carbon Series
Carbon Rival — Fierce's most popular model. Full carbon treatment — carbon fiber barrel, carbon fiber stock, and a refined chassis system delivering sub-5-pound completed weights in many calibers. Built for hunters who demand maximum performance with minimum pack weight. Available in a wide range of short and long action calibers including 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, .300 Win Mag, and .300 PRC.
Carbon Rogue — The Carbon Rogue is Fierce's compact carbon platform — a shorter, lighter configuration designed for hunters who work in tight terrain or prefer a more maneuverable rifle. Shares the Carbon Rival's full carbon construction in a trimmed-down package.
Mini Carbon Rogue — The smallest Fierce carbon rifle, optimized for youth hunters and shooters who prefer a compact action. Full carbon construction in a platform sized for smaller frames.
Twisted Series
Twisted Rival — Fierce's most accessible model. Carbon fiber barrel on a lightweight synthetic stock with the Fierce carbon fiber chassis system. The entry point into the Fierce lineup without compromising on what matters most — the barrel. Significantly lower price than the full Carbon series while delivering the same barrel quality.
Twisted Rogue — The compact version of the Twisted Rival. Shorter action, lighter overall package, and the same carbon fiber barrel as the full-size Twisted Rival. The right choice for hunters who want Fierce barrel quality in a shorter format.
CT Series
CT Rival / CT Rogue — Fierce's carbon-tenon (CT) series features a carbon tenon barrel system that provides additional stiffness and harmonic consistency. Positioned between the Twisted and full Carbon series in both price and performance. Popular with precision hunters who want improved barrel stiffness over the Twisted series without the full Carbon price premium.
Mountain Series
MTN Reaper — Fierce's dedicated mountain hunting platform. Optimized for backcountry applications where every ounce matters — extended pack-in hunts for elk, mule deer, sheep, and goat. Sub-6-pound completed weights in most calibers with Fierce's full carbon construction and sub-MOA guarantee.
