Master Your Shot: The Science Behind 1/2 MOA Accuracy

At the heart of the Carbon Rival FP’s extraordinary accuracy lies Fierce Firearms' unwavering commitment to precision engineering and the integration of cutting-edge technology. The 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, a testament to its capabilities, means that under ideal conditions, this rifle is capable of consistently grouping shots within a half-inch at 100 yards. This level of precision is not just impressive; it's a game-changer for ethical hunting and competitive shooting alike.

• Fierce C3 Carbon Fiber Barrel: This is more than just a lightweight component; it's a performance enhancer. The C3 Carbon technology ensures optimal rigidity and heat dissipation, which are crucial for maintaining accuracy shot after shot. Unlike traditional steel barrels that can experience point-of-impact shifts as they heat up, the carbon fiber construction helps stabilize barrel harmonics, leading to consistent performance. Each barrel liner is match-grade and hand-lapped, a meticulous process that removes microscopic imperfections, resulting in a supremely smooth bore for maximum bullet consistency and reduced fouling. The Matrix finish provides an added layer of durability and stealth.
• Fierce Dual-Lug Action: This stainless steel action is the bedrock of the rifle's reliability and precision. The dual-lug design allows for a strong, consistent lock-up, crucial for repeatable accuracy. Paired with a swift 70-degree bolt throw, it ensures rapid and unobstructed cycling, even when operating with an oversized scope, allowing for quick follow-up shots if needed.
• Precision Cut Raceways: The action's raceways are machined to the tightest possible tolerances. This results in incredibly smooth bolt travel, reducing friction and wear, and contributing to the overall consistency and feel of the rifle. The precise fit minimizes any potential for play, directly enhancing accuracy and the tactile experience for the shooter.
• BIX’N ANDY Match Grade Adjustable Trigger: A superior trigger is often cited as the most critical factor for shooting accuracy. The Carbon Rival FP comes equipped with a BIX’N ANDY trigger, renowned for its crisp, clean break and exceptional adjustability, ranging from a light 1 pound to a more robust 3 pounds. This allows shooters to fine-tune the trigger pull to their exact preference, eliminating anticipation and maximizing precise shot placement.

Engineered for Ergonomics and Endurance: The Carbon Rival FP Stock

The rifle's C3 Carbon Rival stock is not merely a platform; it's an ergonomic masterpiece designed for stability, comfort, and adaptability in the field.

• Vertical Palm Swell Pistol Grip: This ergonomic design promotes a natural and comfortable hand position, reducing fatigue during long holds and providing superior control for precise shooting. It allows for a relaxed grip while maintaining optimal trigger finger placement.
• High Negative Comb Cheekpiece with Adjustable Comb: The inclusion of an adjustable comb is a significant upgrade, empowering shooters to achieve perfect eye alignment with their optics. Whether you use a scope with a large objective lens or require a precise cheek weld for consistent accuracy, the adjustable comb ensures optimal head positioning, which is critical for minimizing parallax errors and maintaining a clear sight picture.
• Integral Pic Rail for Bipod Attachment: Located conveniently on the forend, this integrated rail provides a rock-solid attachment point for a bipod, allowing for stable shooting from prone or rested positions. This eliminates the need for clumsy clamp-on adapters, ensuring a secure and reliable setup.
• Solid Carbon Bedding System: The action is meticulously bedded into the carbon stock with a solid carbon bedding system. This creates a stress-free interface between the action and the stock, eliminating any potential for movement that could negatively impact accuracy. It ensures consistent barrel harmonics and shot placement, regardless of environmental conditions or handling.

The Power of 6.5 PRC: Your Long-Range Advantage

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) is a modern, high-performance cartridge that has rapidly gained favor among hunters and long-range shooters for its exceptional ballistics and versatility. When paired with the Carbon Rival FP, it creates a formidable combination.

• Flat Trajectory and High Ballistic Coefficient: The 6.5 PRC propels high-sectional density bullets at impressive velocities, resulting in a remarkably flat trajectory and minimal wind drift. This makes it an ideal choice for ethical long-range hunting, as it simplifies holdovers and reduces the impact of external factors.
• Effective for Medium to Large Game: While renowned for its precision, the 6.5 PRC also delivers ample kinetic energy for humane dispatch of a wide range of game animals, from deer and antelope to elk and moose, within ethical hunting distances.
• Manageable Recoil: Despite its power, the 6.5 PRC produces a manageable recoil impulse, especially when combined with the Carbon Rival FP's lightweight design and ergonomic stock. This allows shooters to maintain focus, quickly reacquire targets, and practice extensively without discomfort.
• 20-inch Barrel Optimization: While some cartridges benefit from longer barrels, the 6.5 PRC performs exceptionally well in a 20-inch configuration, offering a balance of velocity and maneuverability crucial for dynamic hunting scenarios. It maintains impressive downrange energy while making the rifle more compact and easier to handle in dense brush or confined spaces.
