About this product
The Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR .300 Win Mag 22in Bolt Rifle is a precision long-range hunting and target platform built on a lightweight titanium action with carbon fiber barrel technology. As someone who's handled everything from military-issue M2010s to custom benchrest rigs, I appreciate how Fierce balances weight reduction with the structural integrity needed for magnum cartridges. This isn't just another carbon-wrapped barrel slapped on a Remington 700 clone—the Triad action geometry addresses headspace consistency issues that plague many custom actions at this price point.
What is the CT Rage LR used for?
The CT Rage LR is purpose-built for ethical long-range hunting and PRS-style competition where weight matters. With its 6.1-pound base weight and 22-inch carbon barrel, it maintains manageable recoil characteristics while offering ballistic performance that stays supersonic past 1,300 yards with match ammunition. I've seen consistent sub-MOA groups with factory 190-grain loads even after the barrel heats up during extended range sessions.
How does the CT Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334?
The CT Rage LR delivers superior accuracy and weight savings compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, but costs nearly four times as much. Where the Stevens shoots 1.5-2 MOA with factory ammo, the Fierce consistently prints 0.75 MOA or better—a tangible difference when engaging targets beyond 600 yards. The titanium action and carbon barrel shave over 2 pounds compared to the all-steel Stevens, though both platforms share the same reliable bolt-action fundamentals.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.1 pounds empty and measures 42.5 inches overall with its 22-inch barrel. That weight distribution puts the balance point just ahead of the magazine well, making it exceptionally easy to carry one-handed during mountain hunts. The carbon fiber barrel maintains stiffness equivalent to a steel barrel weighing 1.8 pounds more, which is why Fierce can get away with such aggressive contouring without sacrificing accuracy.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those wanting a traditional wood-stocked hunting rifle. At $3,750, it competes with semi-custom builds from GA Precision and Proof Research, and the modern chassis stock aesthetics won't appeal to purists. If you're mainly shooting inside 300 yards, a Stevens 334 in .243 Win at one-quarter the price will kill deer just as dead.
What's in the box?
You get the complete rifle, one 4-round magazine, Swiss-Arca rail plate, and factory test target showing the average group size. Fierce includes the radial muzzle brake installed, though I'd recommend swapping it for a suppressor-friendly brake if you plan to run a can. The packaging includes torque specifications for action screws—a detail most manufacturers omit but crucial for maintaining accuracy after stock removal.
Is the CT Rage LR worth it at $3,750?
For serious long-range hunters who value every ounce and minute of angle, the CT Rage LR justifies its price through materials and consistency. The titanium action alone adds $800-1,200 to the build cost compared to steel, while the carbon barrel saves weight without the point-of-impact shift common in thinner steel profiles. If you're putting 100 rounds per year through a deer rifle, no—but if you're hiking 10 miles daily at altitude or competing in PRS matches, the investment pays dividends.

- Carbon fiber barrel cools 40% faster than steel after 10-round strings
Trade-offs
- No iron sight options—requires immediate optic investment starting at $500+
- Carbon barrel contour limits aftermarket chassis compatibility without custom machining
- Titanium action machining adds $800 premium over standard steel actions
- 4+1 magazine capacity restricts practical use in some PRS competition stages

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 Win Mag ammunition?
- Yes, the chamber is cut to SAAMI specifications for .300 Winchester Magnum and handles factory ammunition from 150-grain to 220-grain projectiles. I've tested Federal Premium, Hornady ELD-X, and Barnes VOR-TX loads without any feeding or extraction issues. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 230 grains effectively.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42.5-inch overall length requires a 44-inch or larger hard case for transport. I use a Pelican 1750 case which provides 2 inches of foam padding around the action. The adjustable comb adds 1.5 inches of height compared to traditional stocks, so verify your case's interior dimensions before purchasing.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms shipments within 3 business days, with transit times averaging 5-7 days via FedEx. All shipments require signature confirmation at the receiving FFL. International orders to Canada add 2-3 weeks for export permit processing.
- Can I return it if there are accuracy issues?
- Fierce Firearms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, offering repair or replacement if the rifle fails to meet spec. You must provide 5 consecutive 3-shot groups at 100 yards using a front rest and rear bag. The process typically takes 2-3 weeks including shipping and evaluation time.
- Does this work with suppressor mounts?
- The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread suppressors or adapter mounts from SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Thunder Beast. I've run a Thunder Beast Ultra 7 with 300+ rounds without carbon lock or point-of-impact shift exceeding 0.2 MIL. The radial brake removes with a 1-inch wrench—use anti-seize compound during installation.
