Description
Some rifles are built for the bench, and some are built for the last two miles of a climb when your legs are done and the bull is still bedded above you. The Fierce Rival XP in .300 PRC lands firmly in the second camp. Fierce started with their dual-lug titanium action, cut on a 700 pattern footprint with precision machined raceways, then hung a 22 inch C3 carbon fiber barrel off the front. That barrel uses a match grade, hand-lapped liner wrapped in carbon with a Matrix finish, so you get the stiffness and heat management of carbon without the weight penalty of a full steel tube. Fierce stands behind the whole package with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee.
What Sets the Rival XP Apart in the Field
The trigger is a genuine BIX'N ANDY match unit, adjustable from 1 to 3 pounds, which is a component you normally see on custom builds rather than production hunting rifles. The 70 degree bolt throw keeps your hand clear of big objective scopes and speeds up follow-up shots, and the two-position safety is simple and positive. Feeding comes from a drop-box magazine holding 3 rounds plus one in the chamber, plenty for a magnum hunting rig. The included radial titanium muzzle brake takes real bite out of the .300 PRC's recoil, which matters when you're spotting your own impacts at distance.
A Carbon Stock That Fits Like It Should
The Trophy Camo carbon fiber Rival stock is where this rifle gets comfortable. A vertical palm swell pistol grip puts your hand in a natural position behind the trigger, and the high negative comb cheekpiece adjusts so you can dial in perfect eye alignment behind whatever glass you mount. There's an integral Picatinny rail up front for a bipod and a solid carbon bedding system underneath tying the action to the stock. Between the Midnight Bronze Cerakote titanium receiver and the carbon everywhere else, this is a .300 PRC you can carry all day and still trust when a long poke across a canyon is the only shot you're going to get.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Fierce Rival XP out of the box?
Fierce backs this rifle with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee using quality factory ammunition. The match grade, hand-lapped barrel liner, solid carbon bedding system, and BIX'N ANDY trigger all contribute to that number. Like any precision rifle, finding the load your barrel likes will get you the tightest groups.
What makes the CT Rival XP different from the standard Carbon Rival XP?
The CT version swaps the stainless steel receiver for a titanium dual-lug action, which trims additional weight from an already light platform. You still get the same C3 carbon fiber barrel, adjustable comb stock, and drop-box magazine. It's the pick if you want the lightest possible carry weight in a magnum chambering.
Is the .300 PRC a good choice for elk and other big game?
It's one of the best long-range hunting cartridges going right now. The .300 PRC was designed around long, high BC bullets that hold energy and buck wind at extended distances, making it well suited for elk, moose, and mule deer in open country. The included titanium brake helps keep recoil manageable in a rifle this light.
Can I mount a bipod and a large scope on the Rival XP?
Yes on both counts. The forend has an integral Picatinny rail specifically for bipod attachment, and the 70 degree bolt throw gives your hand clearance to cycle the action under oversized objective scopes. The adjustable cheek piece lets you set your eye height to match whatever optic you run.
