Core Components and Their Impact on Performance

Every element of the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rival XP is chosen for its contribution to accuracy, durability, and user comfort. Let's delve into the specifics that set this rifle apart:

• The Fierce Dual-Lug Stainless Steel Action: At the heart of any precision rifle is its action, and the Fierce Dual-Lug system is a masterpiece of engineering. Machined from high-grade stainless steel, this action features a 70-degree bolt throw, which provides a key advantage: an unobstructed bolt cycle, even when shooting with an oversized scope. This ensures rapid and smooth follow-up shots without snagging or interference. Precision-cut raceways guarantee the tightest machined tolerances for superior accuracy and secure lock-up, translating directly into consistent shot placement. The 2-position safety is intuitively placed and easily manipulated, offering peace of mind in the field. This action is the bedrock of the rifle's inherent precision, providing a stable and consistent platform for every shot.
• The Bix'N Andy Match-Grade Adjustable Trigger: A truly exceptional rifle demands an equally exceptional trigger, and the Bix'N Andy trigger in the Twisted Rival XP delivers. Renowned in the precision shooting world, this match-grade trigger is adjustable from a crisp 1 to 3 pounds, allowing shooters to fine-tune the pull to their exact preference. A lighter, creep-free trigger pull minimizes shooter-induced error, enabling more precise shot execution, especially critical at longer distances. This level of adjustability and crispness empowers the shooter to break the shot cleanly, enhancing accuracy and confidence with every squeeze. For many, a premium trigger is the single most significant upgrade to a rifle's practical accuracy, and the Bix'N Andy certainly lives up to that reputation.
• The Twisted Flute, Match-Grade Steel Barrel: The Twisted Rival XP proudly features a 24-inch match-grade steel barrel with distinctive twisted fluting. While some ultra-light rifles opt for carbon fiber-wrapped barrels, the traditional steel barrel on this model is for those who appreciate classic rigidity and heat dissipation characteristics, combined with a weight reduction strategy that doesn't compromise structural integrity. The twisted flutes not only reduce overall weight but also increase the barrel's surface area, aiding in faster cooling during extended shooting sessions. Each barrel is hand-lapped, a meticulous process that polishes the bore's internal surface, eliminating microscopic imperfections for superior accuracy and easier cleaning. The Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish on the barrel provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals, ensuring the rifle maintains its appearance and performance even in the harshest hunting conditions.
• Integrated Radial Muzzle Brake: Included as a standard feature, the stainless steel radial muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil. For a magnum cartridge like the 7mm SAUM, managing recoil is crucial for comfortable shooting, faster follow-up shots, and maintaining target acquisition. The radial design dissipates gases evenly, pushing the rifle forward and minimizing muzzle rise, allowing the shooter to stay on target and observe bullet impact. This enhances the overall shooting experience, particularly for extended practice sessions or when taking critical shots from less stable positions.
• The C3 Carbon Rival Stock with Adjustable Comb: The true innovation in lightweight design is evident in the C3 Carbon Rival stock. Crafted from advanced carbon fiber, this stock offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, contributing significantly to the rifle's overall light profile, making it a dream to carry on long treks. The stock features a vertical palm swell pistol grip, which promotes a natural, comfortable, and consistent hand placement for enhanced control and trigger discipline. The high negative comb cheekpiece, now adjustable, allows shooters to achieve perfect eye alignment with their scope, a crucial factor for repeatable accuracy across various shooting positions and optical setups. An integral Picatinny rail is built into the forend for easy attachment of a bipod, ensuring stable shooting from prone or rested positions. Furthermore, the solid carbon bedding system ensures a rock-solid, stress-free interface between the action and the stock, maximizing accuracy potential by eliminating flex and movement. The Phantom Camo finish provides excellent concealment in diverse environments, blending seamlessly with natural surroundings.

The Power of the 7mm SAUM Cartridge

Why choose the 7mm SAUM (Short Action Ultra Magnum) for your hunting endeavors? This cartridge is celebrated for its ballistic efficiency and formidable terminal performance, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of medium to large game. The 7mm SAUM offers:

• Flat Trajectory: Known for its high velocity, the 7mm SAUM delivers a remarkably flat trajectory, simplifying holdovers at extended ranges. This characteristic is invaluable when hunting in open country or across canyons where precise range estimation might be challenging.
• Energy and Knockdown Power: With a reputation for delivering substantial energy on target, the 7mm SAUM ensures clean, ethical kills on game like deer, elk, and bear. Its ability to effectively transfer energy helps to quickly dispatch animals, reducing tracking distances.
• Moderate Recoil for a Magnum: While it is a magnum cartridge, the 7mm SAUM generally produces less felt recoil than many other magnum calibers, especially when paired with an effective muzzle brake like the one on the Twisted Rival XP. This makes it more pleasant to shoot during practice and more manageable in the field, contributing to better accuracy.
• Excellent Bullet Selection: The 7mm caliber offers a broad array of high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets, from lighter, faster options for deer to heavier, tougher bullets designed for elk and moose. This versatility allows hunters to tailor their ammunition choice to the specific game and conditions.

Unwavering Confidence: The 1/2 MOA Accuracy Guarantee

Fierce Firearms stands behind the precision of the Twisted Rival XP with an impressive 1/2 MOA Accuracy Guarantee. What does this mean for the shooter? It means that, with proper ammunition and shooting technique, the rifle is guaranteed to produce groups where all shots fall within a circle half an inch in diameter at 100 yards. This level of precision is typically found in custom-built, competition-grade rifles and provides immense confidence for critical long-range shots. For a hunting rifle, sub-MOA accuracy is not just a luxury; it's an ethical imperative, ensuring clean and humane harvests. This guarantee signals the meticulous attention to detail and rigorous testing applied to every Twisted Rival XP rifle.
