Fierce Firearms CT Mini Rogue 2.0 6.5 CM 16" Bronze Rifle

This CT Mini Rogue 2.0 is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor behind a 16 inch barrel and wears a bronze finish, a departure from the black most hunting rifles arrive in and a colour that reads well against desert and sage country. It is the compact rifle in Fierce's Rogue line, a bolt action for someone who wants a short, light gun without stepping down in cartridge.

Sixteen inches keeps the whole rifle short. That helps in timber, in a truck, and on a pack where a long barrel catches every branch it goes past. The 6.5 Creedmoor does not need a long tube to be useful inside four hundred yards, and it remains the easiest cartridge in the safe to feed because every ammunition maker loads it in everything from cheap practice fodder to premium bonded hunting bullets. Recoil is light enough that a shooter stays behind the scope and sees the hit, which matters more on a hunting rifle than most people admit. Put a low power variable optic on it and this covers a whitetail stand and an open country stalk equally well.
