Fierce Firearms Carbon Mini Rogue 2.0 308 Win 16" Rifle

A 16" 308 barrel is a deliberate choice. It is about as short as a centerfire rifle barrel goes without paperwork, and it drops the rifle to a length you can actually swing in a blind, a stand, or the cab of a truck. Fierce chambers the Carbon Mini Rogue 2.0 this way for hunters who spend their season in cover rather than on open ridges. Velocity loss against a longer tube is real but modest with 308, and inside the ranges most timber shots happen it changes nothing on the animal.

The Mini Rogue is the short action member of the Fierce Rogue family, and the Carbon name refers to the carbon fiber work that keeps the weight low. The 2.0 marks the second generation of the design. What comes out the other side is a bolt gun that carries like a lever gun, which is a rare thing to say. It also makes an easy rifle to hand to a smaller framed or younger hunter, since the short barrel and light build keep the whole package manageable without dropping down to a marginal cartridge.
