Description
Fierce Firearms built its reputation on rifles that shoot better than they have any right to for the weight, and the Twisted Rival XP in 7mm Rem Mag is a good example of why. The heart of the rifle is a stainless steel Fierce dual-lug action with precision-cut raceways and a short 70 degree bolt throw, so you can run the bolt fast without banging your knuckles on a big scope. The 22 inch twisted flute barrel is match grade and hand lapped, and Fierce stands behind it with a half MOA accuracy guarantee. That's not marketing fluff, it's a real promise on paper, and this platform has earned a loyal following among western hunters because it delivers.
What Sets the Twisted Rival XP Apart
The trigger alone would justify a hard look. Fierce ships this rifle with a Bix'n Andy match grade trigger that adjusts from 1 to 3 pounds, which is the kind of component you normally see on custom builds. The XP update also brought two features hunters kept asking for: a drop box detachable magazine for quick loading and unloading in the field, and an adjustable comb so you can dial your cheek weld to match your scope height. A stainless radial muzzle brake comes installed to take the sting out of the 7mm Rem Mag, which makes a noticeable difference when you're spotting your own impacts.
A 7mm Rem Mag Built to Carry
The C3 Carbon Rival stock keeps the whole package light without feeling like a toy. The vertical palm swell grip and high negative comb make it a natural crossover between a hunting stock and a precision stock, and the integral Picatinny rail up front gives you a solid bipod mount. A carbon bedding system ties the action to the stock for consistency shot after shot. Finished in Tungsten gray Cerakote over Phantom camo, it holds 3+1 rounds and carries a two-position safety. For elk, mule deer, or antelope at real distances, this is a rifle you can trust when the shot finally presents itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fierce Twisted Rival XP come with an accuracy guarantee?
Yes, Fierce backs the Twisted Rival XP with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, which is one of the strongest promises in the production rifle world. Keep in mind the guarantee applies to the original purchaser, so register your rifle and test it with quality ammo early on. Most owners find it groups well under an inch at 100 yards with loads the barrel likes.
How heavy is the recoil on this 7mm Rem Mag, and can I run a suppressor instead of the brake?
The included stainless radial muzzle brake does a solid job of taming the 7mm Rem Mag, bringing felt recoil down closer to something like a .308 in a heavier rifle. The brake threads onto the barrel, so you can remove it and attach a suppressor with the correct thread pitch or an adapter. Just be ready for noticeably sharper recoil if you shoot with the muzzle bare.
Is the Twisted Rival XP light enough for backcountry hunting?
It is. The steel-barreled Rival platform runs in the mid six pound range before optics thanks to the C3 carbon fiber stock, which is very manageable for mountain hunts. It costs less than the carbon-barrel Fierce models while giving up very little, and plenty of hunters prefer the steel barrel for its durability and heat handling.
What kind of trigger does the Twisted Rival XP use?
This model ships with a Bix'n Andy match grade trigger, a genuinely premium unit you'd normally find on custom rifles. It adjusts from 1 to 3 pounds so you can set it light for precision work or a bit heavier for cold-weather hunting with gloves. The break is crisp and clean right out of the box.
