Our Assessment: Fierce Firearms is known for modern lightweight precision hunting rifles, and the CT Rival XP reflects that design philosophy with its carbon-fiber stock, carbon-wrapped match grade barrel, Cerakote finish, and field-ready accuracy features. This example is chambered in 7mm-08 Remington, a versatile .308-based cartridge appreciated for manageable recoil, flat trajectory, and strong performance on deer, antelope, and similar medium game. This rifle features a 20″ C3 match-grade carbon barrel threaded 5/8×24, measuring 22″ with the 4-port NIX muzzle brake installed, a 1:8.5″ twist, Smoke Bronze Cerakote finish, Fierce Rival XP carbon fiber stock with adjustable comb, QD sling points, and integrated front Picatinny rail. It is also equipped with a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15×44 CDS-ZL2 side-focus scope with Impact-29 MOA reticle. The lightweight carbon construction, premium Leupold optic, adjustable stock, muzzle brake, and efficient 7mm-08 chambering should appeal to hunters looking for a capable, modern field rifle with long-range utility.
