The Fierce Firearms CT Rival XP is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm PRC, built on a titanium dual-lug action with a 20-inch C3 carbon fiber barrel. The combination keeps total weight down while the carbon fiber barrel's hand-lapped liner holds the rifle to Fierce's half-MOA or better guarantee.

Detailed Features
Titanium Dual-Lug Action
The titanium action cuts weight compared to a steel receiver without giving up durability. Dual lugs provide solid lock-up under the pressures of a hard-hitting PRC cartridge.
Smooth Bolt Operation
The 70-degree bolt throw gives adequate scope clearance even with tall rings, and the bolt cycles cleanly with no rough spots.
Precision Machining
Precision-cut raceways are held to tight tolerances throughout, which contributes to consistent headspace and lock-up across the action's service life.
Customizable Trigger
The match-grade Bix'n Andy trigger adjusts from 1 lb to 3 lbs, letting shooters tune break weight to their preference or to the task at hand.
Drop Box Magazine
The drop box magazine design allows quick reloads without the fumble of a fixed or detachable flush-fit magazine.
Barrel Performance
The C3 carbon fiber barrel has a hand-lapped liner. Fierce guarantees half-MOA accuracy or better, and the 20-inch length keeps overall rifle length manageable for backcountry use.
Stock Design
The C3 stock has an adjustable cheek piece and vertical palm swell grip. Both help lock in a consistent head position and firing grip across different shooting positions.
Target Audience
This rifle fits hunters who prioritize carry weight on long backcountry trips, and precision rifle competitors who want a light, accurate platform in the 7mm PRC cartridge. The adjustable features accommodate different shooters without a trip to a gunsmith.
Usage Scenarios
- Hunting Expeditions: The 7mm PRC handles a wide range of game effectively, and the rifle's weight makes multi-day pack hunts more manageable.
- Competitive Shooting: The Bix'n Andy trigger and guaranteed sub-half-MOA accuracy are practical advantages in precision rifle competition.
- Field Applications: The titanium and carbon fiber construction hold up across temperature and moisture extremes common in field use.
