Key Features
- Hand-Lapped Match-Grade Barrel — The 20″ twisted-flute barrel is individually hand-lapped at the factory, which eliminates tooling marks and ensures consistent bore dimensions. Why it matters: This process directly translates to tighter shot groups and sustained accuracy over the barrel’s life.
- C3 Carbon Rival Stock with Adjustable Comb — The carbon-fiber stock saves weight without sacrificing rigidity, and the adjustable comb lets you dial in cheek weld for your optic height. Why it matters: Proper fit reduces shooter-induced error and keeps you comfortable during long range sessions or backcountry hikes.
- Stainless Dual-Lug Action — The one-piece stainless action features dual locking lugs for a 60-degree bolt lift, giving you fast cycling and reliable extraction. Why it matters: Quick follow-up shots and smooth feeding are critical when hunting or shooting in competition.
- Stainless Radial Muzzle Brake — Factory-installed radial brake reduces felt recoil by redirecting gases evenly around the bore axis. Why it matters: Less recoil means faster target reacquisition and less flinch, especially with the 6.5 PRC’s mild but present kick.
- 1/2 MOA Accuracy Guarantee — Fierce Firearms backs this rifle with a half-minute-of-angle guarantee, meaning your first three-shot group should measure 0.5″ or less at 100 yards. Why it matters: You get a verified performance floor—no guesswork on whether your rifle can shoot.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight, carbon-stock platform without sacrificing accuracy. It fits long-range hunters who carry miles into the backcountry, as well as PRS or NRL competitors who need a reliable, repeatable action. It’s also a solid choice for the handloader who wants to wring every bit of performance from the 6.5 PRC cartridge.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Guaranteed 1/2 MOA accuracy out of the box — no bedding or gunsmithing needed.
- Pro: Lightweight carbon stock keeps the rifle under 7 lbs, ideal for mountain hunting.
- Pro: Radial muzzle brake is effective without excessive blast to the sides—good for shooting from a bench or prone.
- Con: The 20″ barrel is shorter than many precision rifles, which reduces muzzle velocity by roughly 50-75 fps compared to a 24″ tube—something to consider if you’re shooting past 1,000 yards.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the Fierce Twisted Rival FP barrel?
