Description
There are lightweight hunting rifles, and then there are rifles like the CT Rival FP that refuse to trade accuracy for the weight savings. Fierce built this one around a titanium dual-lug action with precision-cut raceways and a fast 70 degree bolt throw, which means smooth cycling with plenty of clearance even when you have a big objective scope mounted low. Out front sits a 22 inch C3 carbon fiber barrel with a match grade, hand-lapped liner and a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the 7mm PRC was designed to launch. Fierce backs the whole package with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, the kind of promise usually reserved for full custom builds.
Why the CT Rival FP Earns Its Spot in the Truck
The FP version of the Rival adds an adjustable comb to the C3 carbon stock, so you can dial your cheek weld to match your scope height instead of craning your neck all season. The vertical palm swell pistol grip puts your hand in a natural position behind the trigger, and that trigger happens to be a Bix'n Andy match unit adjustable from 1 to 3 pounds. Pair that with a solid carbon bedding system and an integral Picatinny rail up front for a bipod, and you have a rifle that is just as comfortable stretching out on steel as it is settled over a pack waiting on a bull to step out.
Shooting the Fierce Rival FP in 7mm PRC
The 7mm PRC has become a favorite among western hunters for good reason, delivering flat trajectories and serious downrange energy without brutal recoil. The included radial titanium muzzle brake tames what recoil there is, making follow-up shots and load development sessions a lot more pleasant. Feeding comes from a hinged floorplate with 3+1 capacity, so there is no detachable magazine to lose in the snow. Add the two-position safety and tight machining tolerances throughout, and the CT Rival FP is the kind of rifle you buy once and hunt with for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CT Rival FP different from the CT Rival XP?
The biggest difference is the stock. The FP model adds an adjustable comb to the C3 Carbon Rival stock, letting you fine-tune your cheek weld to your scope height for a more consistent head position behind the optic. It is a feature precision-minded hunters tend to appreciate once they have run larger scopes with taller mounts.
Does the Fierce CT Rival FP really come with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee?
Yes, Fierce backs this rifle with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning it is built to shoot groups of roughly half an inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. That level of precision is usually custom-shop territory. The match grade, hand-lapped carbon fiber barrel and solid carbon bedding system are a big part of how they get there.
Is the trigger on the CT Rival FP adjustable?
It is. The rifle ships with a Bix'n Andy match grade trigger that adjusts from about 1 to 3 pounds. That gives you a crisp, light break for precision work at distance or a slightly heavier pull if you prefer more margin with cold hands in the field.
Does this rifle use a detachable magazine?
No, the CT Rival FP feeds from a hinged floorplate with a 3+1 capacity. Plenty of hunters prefer this setup since there is no magazine to rattle, lose, or fumble with, and the rifle keeps a clean, snag-free profile for carrying through timber or packing in tight country.
