Description
Carrying a 7mm Rem Mag ten miles into elk country used to mean accepting a heavy rifle or a whippy lightweight that strung shots when the barrel warmed up. The Fierce Carbon Rival XP splits that difference the right way. Its C3 carbon fiber barrel wraps a match grade, hand lapped stainless liner in high modulus carbon, so you get the stiffness and heat management of a heavier tube at a fraction of the weight. In this 22 inch long action configuration the rifle comes in around 6.5 pounds bare, which is the kind of number that makes sense when you spend more time hiking than shooting.
Inside the Carbon Rival XP Action
The stainless steel Fierce dual-lug action runs a 70 degree bolt throw, giving your hand plenty of clearance under big objective scopes and keeping cycling quick when a follow-up matters. Precision cut raceways keep lockup tight and bolt travel smooth, and a simple two-position safety sits right where your thumb expects it. Feeding comes from a 3+1 drop-box magazine that detaches cleanly for fast reloads in the field. The trigger is a genuine Bix'n Andy match unit, adjustable from roughly 1 to 3 pounds, and it breaks the way a trigger at this level should.
Built for the Backcountry, Backed by Half MOA
Fierce guarantees half MOA accuracy at 100 yards, and the rest of the rifle is set up to help you hold up your end. The C3 carbon Rival stock features an adjustable comb so you can dial your cheek weld to your optic, a vertical palm swell grip for consistent hand placement, and an integral Picatinny rail up front for a bipod. A solid carbon bedding system ties the action to the stock without the flex you find in cheaper synthetics, and the included radial titanium muzzle brake takes real bite out of the 7mm Rem Mag's recoil. The Blackout finish keeps things clean and low glare, and Fierce stands behind the whole package with a limited lifetime warranty. For hunters who want magnum reach without magnum weight, this one checks the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy is the Carbon Rival XP in 7mm Rem Mag, and is it manageable to shoot?
This long action 22 inch build runs right around 6.5 pounds before optics, which puts it firmly in mountain rifle territory. The included radial titanium muzzle brake does a lot of work taming the 7mm Rem Mag, so recoil is noticeably softer than you'd expect from a rifle this light. Most folks find it very comfortable off a bipod or pack.
Does the Fierce Carbon Rival XP come with an accuracy guarantee?
Yes, Fierce backs this rifle with a half MOA guarantee at 100 yards using quality ammunition. The C3 carbon fiber barrel with its hand lapped match grade liner, the solid carbon bedding system, and the Bix'n Andy trigger are the main reasons it can make that promise. Fierce also covers the rifle with a limited lifetime warranty.
Is the trigger on the Carbon Rival XP adjustable?
It ships with a genuine Bix'n Andy match grade trigger that adjusts from roughly 1 to 3 pounds. That's a serious upgrade over the factory triggers on most production hunting rifles and one of the standout features at this price point. It breaks clean with minimal creep right out of the box.
Can I mount a bipod and adjust the stock fit on this rifle?
The C3 carbon stock has an integral Picatinny rail on the forend for direct bipod attachment, no swivel stud adapters needed. The comb is adjustable, so you can raise your cheek weld to line up with larger scopes, and the vertical palm swell grip keeps your trigger hand positioned consistently shot to shot.
