Description
The Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival XP 2.0 is built for the hunter who refuses to choose between a light pack and a tack-driving rifle. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 20-inch barrel, this one wears a handsome Bronze Cerakote finish paired with a Sonora camo C3 carbon-fiber stock, so it looks as good in the truck as it does on the mountain. The .308 is about as versatile as cartridges come, with widely available match and hunting loads that cover everything from whitetail and mule deer to elk inside reasonable ranges.
The heart of this rifle is Fierce's C3 carbon-fiber barrel with a Matrix finish and a match-grade, hand-lapped liner. That carbon wrap keeps weight down and helps shed heat, while the Fierce dual-lug stainless action runs a 70-degree bolt throw that clears even oversized scopes with no knuckle-busting. Precision-cut raceways and tight machined tolerances are what let Fierce back the gun with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, which is a real step beyond the sub-MOA promise you see on most production rifles.
Where this rifle earns its keep is the details. You get a match-grade adjustable trigger that breaks clean in the 1 to 3 pound range, a drop-box magazine, and a two-position safety. The C3 Carbon Rival stock features a vertical palm-swell grip, a high-negative comb with an adjustable cheekpiece, and a solid carbon bedding system for repeatable shot-to-shot consistency. There's also an integral pic rail molded in for easy bipod mounting, plus a radial titanium muzzle brake included in the box to tame recoil.
This is a serious tool for backcountry hunters and precision shooters who want one rifle that carries light, shoots flat, and doesn't beat them up. It ships ready to mount your optic and head to the range. Every Fierce rifle is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, so you can buy once and shoot it for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Carbon Rival XP?
Fierce backs this rifle with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, which means it's built to shoot half-inch groups at 100 yards with quality ammo. That's tighter than the sub-MOA promise most production rifles carry. As always, results depend on finding the load your barrel likes and doing your part behind the trigger.
Does it come with a muzzle brake?
Yes, a radial titanium muzzle brake is included in the box. It threads onto the barrel and does a nice job knocking down felt recoil, which is welcome on a rifle this light. If you'd rather run a suppressor down the road, the threaded muzzle makes that an easy swap.
How much does the .308 Carbon Rival XP weigh?
The Carbon Rival XP 2.0 platform is built around a lightweight C3 carbon-fiber barrel and carbon stock, with bare rifle weights in the low-to-mid 6 pound range depending on configuration. That makes it an excellent choice for backcountry hunters counting every ounce. Keep in mind that adding an optic, rings, and a brake will bump the carry weight up some.
What is the .308 Carbon Rival XP best suited for?
It's a true do-it-all hunting rifle. The .308 Winchester handles deer, antelope, hogs, and elk at sensible ranges, and ammo is available just about everywhere. Between the light weight, adjustable comb, and match trigger, it works just as well punching paper or ringing steel at the range as it does in the field.
Does the Carbon Rival XP have an adjustable trigger and comb?
It does. The match-grade trigger is user-adjustable between roughly 1 and 3 pounds so you can dial in a pull weight you like. The C3 Carbon Rival stock also features a high-negative comb with an adjustable cheekpiece, letting you set proper eye alignment behind your scope for a consistent cheek weld.
