Fierce Firearms Carbon Mini Rogue 2.0 308 Win Bronze Rifle

308 Win on the small Fierce frame, wearing a bronze finish rather than the black or grey that covers most of the category. Underneath it is the Carbon Mini Rogue 2.0, the compact stock in the Fierce Rogue family, cut with a shorter length of pull and shaped to keep the trigger hand relaxed. It is a bolt action, chambered in about the most practical big game cartridge a person can own.

308 Win works in a short action, brass and factory ammunition turn up in every shop from a gas station to a gun counter, and bullet selection runs from varmint loads to heavy bonded hunting bullets. It puts down elk without abusing the shooter, and on a compact rifle that last point carries real weight, because a light gun tells you about recoil in a way a nine pound rifle does not. The reduced length of pull matters more than most buyers expect. A stock that is too long forces the head forward and the shoulder back, and a shooter fighting the gun on every mount will not shoot it well no matter what the barrel is capable of. Cut the stock to fit and the same person shoots to their actual ability. A bronze finished bolt gun in a cartridge every shop stocks covers most of what a hunter asks a rifle to do.
