Description
Fierce built its reputation on rifles that shoot way better than their weight suggests, and the Rival XP 2.0 carries that torch. This one is chambered in 7mm PRC, a cartridge that has earned a serious following among Western hunters for good reason. It pushes high BC bullets fast and flat, bucks wind better than most of its peers, and still hits with enough authority for elk at distance. The 22 inch C3 carbon fiber barrel keeps things handy in the timber and manageable on a pack frame without giving up much velocity, and the hand lapped match grade liner is a big part of why Fierce is confident enough to put a 1/2 MOA guarantee behind every rifle.
What Makes the Rival XP 2.0 Different
The heart of this rifle is the Fierce dual-lug stainless steel action with a 70 degree bolt throw. That short throw means fast cycling and plenty of knuckle clearance under a big scope, and the precision cut raceways give it a tight, smooth feel that gets even better with use. The TriggerTech trigger comes set at a crisp 2.5 pounds and adjusts from 1.5 to 4, so you can dial it to your preference without sending it off to a gunsmith. Feeding comes from a detachable drop box magazine, which is a genuinely useful upgrade for loading and unloading in the field.
Built for the Backcountry
The Rival C3 carbon fiber stock wears Kryptek Typhon camo over black metalwork, and it is more than just good looks. You get an adjustable comb for a proper cheek weld behind bigger optics, a vertical palm swell grip that puts your hand in a natural shooting position, and solid carbon bedding to keep that barreled action locked in place shot after shot. A muzzle brake comes included to tame the 7mm PRC's push, which makes spotting your own impacts a whole lot easier. For a do-it-all Western hunting rifle that can reach way out there, this one checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fierce Rival XP 2.0 really come with an accuracy guarantee?
Yes, Fierce backs this rifle with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee out of the box, which applies to the original owner during the first year. That is a three shot group inside roughly half an inch at 100 yards, so pair it with quality ammo and good glass to see what it can do. Independent field reviews have found these rifles routinely group in that range with loads the barrel likes.
Is a 22 inch barrel long enough for 7mm PRC?
It is a smart middle ground. You give up a modest amount of velocity compared to a 24 inch tube, but the 7mm PRC still shoots plenty flat and carries the energy needed for elk sized game at distance. In exchange you get a rifle that is easier to maneuver in timber, on a pack frame, and in a shooting blind, and the included muzzle brake keeps recoil comfortable.
Can I adjust the trigger on the Rival XP 2.0 myself?
Yes. It ships with a TriggerTech trigger factory set at a crisp 2.5 pounds, and it is user adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds. No gunsmith visit needed, just follow the instructions and set it where you like it.
What is the stock like on this Black/Typhon model?
It is Fierce's Rival C3 carbon fiber stock finished in Kryptek Typhon, a gray and black camo pattern that looks sharp against the black metalwork. It features an adjustable comb so you can get a solid cheek weld behind larger scopes, a vertical palm swell grip, and solid carbon bedding for consistent accuracy. It keeps overall weight down, which matters when you are packing it miles into the backcountry.
