Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival XP 2.0 6mm CM 20" Bronze Rifle

Fierce's Carbon Rival XP 2.0 sits in the part of the catalog where hunting rifles and precision rifles overlap. A carbon fiber stock, a bolt action, and a build that assumes the owner is going to put a real scope on top and shoot at distance with it. Fierce has spent years selling rifles on what they do on paper the first time out. This one is chambered in 6mm Creedmoor with a 20 inch barrel and a bronze finish over the metal.

The 6mm Creedmoor came out of competition shooting, where a flat trajectory and low recoil let a shooter read wind and watch impacts through the scope instead of guessing. Hunters picked it up for the same reasons. On deer and antelope it works well inside the distances most people actually shoot, and on a prairie dog town or a coyote stand it is close to unfair. A 20 inch barrel keeps the rifle short enough to carry while still burning enough powder to make the cartridge worth having. This is a rifle for somebody who shoots year round and hunts with the same gun they compete with, which is exactly the customer Fierce built the Carbon Rival for.
