For the dedicated hunter who demands the pinnacle of precision, a lightweight profile, and uncompromising reliability in the most challenging environments, the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival FP rifle chambered in 7mm PRC stands as an extraordinary feat of engineering. This isn't just a hunting rifle; it's a meticulously crafted instrument designed to elevate your success in the field, ensuring every shot counts.

Are you a serious backcountry hunter pushing the limits of terrain and distance? Do you frequently ask, "What's the best lightweight rifle for extreme mountain hunting?" or "How can I achieve sub-half-MOA accuracy with a hunting rifle?" The Fierce Carbon Rival FP answers these questions with a resounding "yes." Its design philosophy centers around delivering high-end performance without the burden of excessive weight, making it the ideal companion for arduous treks and critical long-range shots.

Why Choose the Fierce Carbon Rival FP? Unpacking its Core Advantages

The updated Carbon Rival FP integrates Fierce Firearms' renowned C3 Carbon technology with a suite of premium components, setting a new standard for bolt-action rifles. It's built for those who understand that success in the wild often hinges on the quality and capabilities of their equipment.

1. Unmatched Lightweight Design for Demanding Hunts:
One of the most significant advantages of the Carbon Rival FP is its exceptionally light build, achieved through the innovative use of carbon fiber. For hunters tackling steep ascents, navigating dense timber, or covering vast distances, every ounce saved is a critical advantage. This rifle dramatically reduces fatigue, allowing you to maintain focus and steadiness when that fleeting shot opportunity finally arises. It’s the perfect answer for situations where you need to trek for miles before settling in for a precision shot.

2. Superior Accuracy Guarantee: Consistent Sub-MOA Performance:
At the heart of the Carbon Rival FP's appeal is Fierce Firearms' industry-leading 1/2 MOA Accuracy Guarantee. What does this mean for you? It means you can expect groups of 0.5 inches or smaller at 100 yards, provided you use match-grade ammunition and proper shooting technique. This level of precision is typically reserved for custom-built competition rifles, yet Fierce delivers it in a rugged, field-ready package. This assurance builds immense confidence, transforming your ethical shot potential and expanding your effective range.

3. The Power of 7mm PRC: A Modern Hunting Cartridge:
Chambered in 7mm PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), this rifle taps into one of the most exciting and capable new cartridges for long-range hunting. The 7mm PRC offers exceptional ballistics, combining high muzzle velocities with heavy-for-caliber, high-ballistic-coefficient (BC) projectiles. This translates to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and superior energy delivery at extended ranges. It’s an ideal choice for a wide range of game, from deer and elk to larger African plains game, offering potent performance with reduced recoil compared to some magnum calibers. The 1:8" twist rate of the barrel is specifically optimized to stabilize these modern, high-performance bullets, ensuring they fly true.

Deep Dive into the Carbon Rival FP's Engineering Excellence

Every component of the Fierce Carbon Rival FP has been selected and integrated to contribute to its overall performance and user experience.

The Revolutionary C3 Carbon Technology

The "C3" in Carbon Rival FP refers to Fierce's proprietary C3 Carbon technology, a cornerstone of this rifle's lightweight and accuracy.

• C3 Carbon Fiber Barrel: This rifle features a 20-inch C3 Carbon Fiber barrel with a match-grade steel liner. The carbon fiber wrap reduces overall barrel weight significantly compared to traditional all-steel barrels, without sacrificing stiffness or accuracy. Carbon fiber also dissipates heat more efficiently than steel, helping to maintain accuracy during rapid firing or extended shooting sessions. Each barrel liner is hand-lapped, ensuring an ultra-smooth bore for minimal friction, enhanced bullet stability, and easier cleaning. The Matrix finish on the barrel provides excellent durability and a sleek, non-reflective appearance.
• C3 Carbon Rival Stock: The rifle is equipped with a C3 Carbon Rival stock, specifically designed for ergonomic comfort and repeatable shooting. Its lightweight carbon fiber construction contributes to the rifle's overall agile feel.
  • Adjustable Comb/Cheek Piece: A critical feature for precision shooters, the adjustable comb allows you to fine-tune your cheek weld for perfect eye alignment with your scope. This ensures consistent sight pictures, reduces parallax errors, and significantly improves shooting comfort and accuracy, especially at long range.
  • Vertical Palm Swell Pistol Grip: This ergonomic grip promotes a natural and relaxed hand position, crucial for trigger control and reducing muscle fatigue during extended periods of holding or aiming.
  • High Negative Comb Cheekpiece: This design helps to mitigate felt recoil by directing energy away from the shooter's face, making the powerful 7mm PRC cartridge more comfortable to shoot.
  • Integral Pic Rail for Bipod Attachment: Located on the forend, this integrated rail provides a rock-solid attachment point for a bipod, ensuring stable shooting positions in various terrains.
  • Solid Carbon Bedding System: The action is bedded directly into the carbon stock with a solid carbon bedding system, creating a perfect, stress-free union between the action and the stock. This rigidity is paramount for consistent accuracy, eliminating any potential movement that could compromise shot placement.

The Heart of the Rifle: Fierce Dual-Lug Action

The action is the foundation of any rifle's accuracy and reliability. The Fierce Carbon Rival FP utilizes a STAINLESS STEEL Fierce Dual-Lug action, known for its robust construction and smooth operation.

• 70-Degree Bolt Throw: This allows for rapid cycling of the bolt, even when using oversized scopes, as the bolt handle clears the eyepiece easily. This swift operation is vital for quick follow-up shots in hunting scenarios.
• Unobstructed Bolt Cycle: The design ensures that the bolt can be cycled smoothly and freely, without interference from a large scope, a common issue with some rifle designs.
• Precision Cut Raceways: The raceways within the action are cut with extreme precision, providing a smooth, non-binding path for the bolt. This meticulous machining contributes to the rifle's tightest machined tolerances, which are critical for superior accuracy and secure lock-up.
• 2-Position Safety: A simple yet effective 2-position safety provides a clear and intuitive mechanism for safe handling in the field.

The Trigger: The Gateway to Precision

A match-grade trigger is non-negotiable for serious precision shooting. The Carbon Rival FP boasts an Adj BIXN ANDY trigger, renowned for its crisp break and adjustability.

• Match Grade Adjustable Trigger: This trigger can be precisely adjusted from 1 to 3 pounds of pull weight. A light, crisp trigger with no creep allows for a clean break, minimizing shooter-induced movement and maximizing your ability to place shots exactly where intended. This is a significant factor in achieving the rifle's 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee.

Additional Features for Enhanced Field Performance

• Hinged Floor Plate: This classic design allows for easy and safe unloading of the magazine without having to cycle each round through the action, making field operations more convenient.
• Radial Muzzle Brake: The included stainless steel radial muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing you to stay on target for faster follow-up shots and improved comfort during extended shooting sessions. The 5/8"x24 thread pattern also allows for easy interchangeability with other muzzle devices or suppressors if desired.
• Smoked Bronze Cerakote Receiver Finish: The steel receiver is finished with Smoked Bronze Cerakote, a highly durable ceramic-based finish that provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals. This ensures the rifle maintains its appearance and integrity even in harsh weather conditions.

Who Will Benefit Most from the Fierce Carbon Rival FP?

This rifle is specifically designed for:

• Serious Big Game Hunters: Especially those pursuing elk, moose, or other large game across vast, open landscapes or steep terrain where long-range shots are common.
• Mountain Hunters: The lightweight design is a game-changer for hunts requiring extensive hiking and climbing.
• Precision Shooters: Individuals who prioritize sub-MOA accuracy and demand the highest level of performance from their equipment.
