Description
Backcountry rifles usually force a trade: go light and give up features, or keep the adjustability and pay for it in pack weight. The MTN Reaper 2.0 is Fierce's answer to that problem, and it's the lightest folding chassis rifle they build. A dual-lug titanium action sits in an ultra-light magnesium chassis, wrapped up with a C3 carbon fiber stock, carbon M-LOK handguard, and a hand-lapped C3 carbon fiber barrel. The whole package starts around 5.8 pounds, which is remarkable for a chassis gun with this much adjustability, and Fierce backs it with a .5 MOA accuracy guarantee.
What the MTN Reaper 2.0 Gets Right
The 2.0 update brought real improvements over the earlier MTN Reaper, not just a new name. The folding stock was redesigned for smoother, more durable operation, and the push-button adjustable cheekpiece picked up added carbon fiber reinforcement. The stock folds to protect the bolt handle on the pack in, and a built-in ARCA rail lets you drop the rifle straight onto a compatible tripod head without extra hardware. QD flush cups handle sling duty, even with the stock folded. The trigger is a TriggerTech Primary Pro set at 2.5 pounds from the factory and adjustable from 1.5 to 4, and it's one of the better factory triggers you'll find on a production hunting rifle.
An 18 Inch .308 Built for the Mountain
This configuration runs an 18 inch match grade carbon fiber barrel in .308 Winchester with a 1:10 twist, threaded 5/8×24 for a suppressor or brake. The shorter tube keeps the rifle compact and quick to maneuver in timber or off a tripod, and .308 gives up very little at practical hunting distances while keeping ammo easy to find anywhere. Feeding comes from a 3+1 detachable dropbox magazine, and a simple two-position safety keeps operation intuitive with gloves on. Finished in grey Cerakote over the titanium receiver, this is a genuinely handsome rifle that's built in Utah and meant to earn its keep in rough country, not sit in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's different about the MTN Reaper 2.0 compared to the original MTN Reaper?
The 2.0 is the current generation of the platform with an all-new folding stock design built for smoother, more durable operation, plus a push-button adjustable cheekpiece reinforced with additional carbon fiber. The core recipe carries over: titanium action, magnesium chassis, and a carbon fiber barrel. If you see one with a different looking buttstock, it's likely the earlier version.
Is the MTN Reaper 2.0 suppressor ready?
Yes. The 18 inch match grade carbon fiber barrel comes threaded 5/8×24, so it accepts most common .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. The shorter barrel length also keeps overall length manageable once a can is mounted, which is a big part of why the 18 inch .308 configuration is so popular.
How does the MTN Reaper 2.0 mount to a tripod?
The chassis has a built-in ARCA rail that clamps directly into a compatible tripod head, so no extra adapter plate is needed. That's a real advantage for western hunters who shoot off tripods in open country. QD flush cups are also built in for sling attachment, and a sling can stay on the rifle even with the stock folded.
Is .308 Win with an 18 inch barrel enough for big game?
Absolutely. The .308 was designed to burn its powder efficiently, so it loses relatively little velocity in an 18 inch tube compared to longer barrels. It remains a proven choice for deer, antelope, and elk at practical hunting distances, and the 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common hunting bullet weights. Paired with the .5 MOA guarantee, this rifle will outshoot most of us.
