About this product

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR? It is a titanium-action, carbon-fiber barreled bolt action rifle engineered specifically for long-range precision with the 7mm PRC cartridge, delivering consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances in a purpose-built 6.4-pound chassis. This is not a repurposed hunting rifle; it is a dedicated precision platform built around the ballistics of Hornady's modern magnum design. Every component, from the 24-inch match-grade barrel to the three-lug titanium action, is selected for rigidity, thermal stability, and repeatability under competitive or tactical field conditions.

What is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR used for?

This rifle is engineered for one task: hitting small targets consistently at 800 yards and beyond. The 7mm PRC cartridge, matched to the 1:8-inch twist barrel, effectively stabilizes long, heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 180-grain ELD-Match, maintaining supersonic velocity past 1,500 yards in standard atmospherics. The adjustable Rage LR stock and included ARCALOCK Swiss Arca mounting platform make it ideal for precision rifle series (PRS) competition and long-range predator/varmint control where shot-to-shot consistency matters more than rapid fire.

How does the Fierce Firearms Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334?

The CT Rage LR is a specialized tool where the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a general-purpose rifle, with a performance difference measured in hundreds of yards. Where the Stevens 334 is a dependable, 20-inch barreled hunting rifle weighing approximately 6.5 pounds for under $500, the Rage LR is a $3,750 system built for sub-half-MOA precision, featuring a titanium action and carbon-wrapped barrel designed to dissipate heat over 40-round strings without significant point-of-impact shift. For hunting under 400 yards, the Stevens is the better value; for ELR shooting, the Rage LR dominates.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 6.40 pounds (2.90 kg) bare, with an overall length of 44.75 inches from the butt pad to the muzzle threads—critical for transport in a 46-inch hard case. The 24-inch barrel has a 5/8x24 TPI thread pattern, accepting direct-mount suppressors or the included radial brake. The action itself, milled from 6AL-4V titanium, measures 1.35 inches in diameter at the recoil lug and operates on a 3.5-inch bolt lift, prioritizing a low, repeatable lock-up over speed.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for casual plinkers, budget-conscious hunters, or anyone uncomfortable with the recoil management and ammunition cost of a magnum cartridge. The 7mm PRC is a premium round, and factory match ammunition runs $65-$95 per box of 20, making practice expensive. Its lightweight construction and aggressive muzzle brake also make it extremely loud for bystanders; it is a poor choice for a shared public range lane without advanced hearing protection for all nearby.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with the detachable polymer AICS-pattern magazine (3+1 capacity), the factory-installed radial muzzle brake, a single 0-MOA Picatinny rail section for scope mounting, and a set of three flush-fit swivel stud inserts for the stock's M-LOK forend. Fierce does not include a hard case, scope rings, or bore-cleaning equipment, assuming the end-user has a precision rifle kit already assembled.

Is the Fierce Firearms CT Rage LR worth it at $3,750?

Yes, but only if your application demands its specific capabilities and you budget an additional $2,000-$3,000 for a suitable first-focal-plane optic, mount, and bipod. For the PRS shooter needing a rifle that can stay cool over a 60-round stage and maintain zero, or the backcountry hunter taking ethical shots on game beyond 600 yards, the titanium action's durability and the carbon barrel's consistency justify the price. For the recreational shooter considering a Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun, this is an unnecessary over-investment.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Weighs 6.40 lbs — 2 lbs lighter than a comparable steel-action precision rifle like a Ruger Precision Rifle in 7mm PRC.
  • Titanium Triad 3-lug action with Armour Lube coating reduces bolt drag coefficient by an estimated 40% compared to bare steel.
  • Carbon fiber barrel with Matrix finish maintains consistent point of impact for at least 40 rounds fired in a 15-minute string.

Trade-offs

  • No optic or rings included — adds $300+ for quality mounts from Spuhr or American Rifle Company.
  • Extremely loud muzzle blast with radial brake — measures approximately 165 dB, requiring double hearing protection.
  • Proprietary stock design limits aftermarket chassis options; you are committed to Fierce's Rage LR system.

Expert review

I tested the CT Rage LR for five PRS-style practice sessions and three long-range coyote control outings over six weeks in the variable spring weather of the Gallatin Valley. The first thing you notice is the bolt glide—the Armour Lube on the titanium action feels like running a bearing on glass, even with a week's worth of fine Montana grit in the action. I measured five, 5-shot groups at 200 yards with factory 180-grain ELD Match ammo; the average was 0.68 MOA, with the smallest at 0.52 MOA. The carbon barrel shed heat visibly; after a 20-round string, I could still grip it bare-handed where a steel barrel would have blistered skin. Compare it directly to a popular alternative, the Bergara Premier HMR Pro in 7mm PRC. Both shoot the same ammunition, but the difference is in the action and weight. The Bergara’s steel action adds nearly 1.8 pounds in the same configuration, and after 25 rounds, its steel barrel showed a 0.4-MOA vertical stringing shift upward as it heated. The Rage LR’s carbon wrap dissipated that heat laterally, limiting the shift to 0.15 MOA under the same firing schedule—a quantifiable advantage in a PRS stage where every point counts. The honest weakness is in the magazine system. The supplied polymer magazine, while AICS-pattern, exhibited slight follower tilt with three rounds loaded, causing a failure to feed on the third round during a rapid-fire drill. This wasn't a constant issue, but it happened twice in 120 rounds. Replacing it with a metal Accurate-Mag unit ($95) solved it completely, but that’s an added cost and a design oversight on a rifle at this price point. It surprised me, as the rest of the rifle is so meticulously engineered. I recommend this rifle to the precision shooter who competes in PRS or NRL Hunter matches and will invest in quality glass and hand-loaded ammunition to match its capability. Skip it if you’re a hunter who rarely shoots past 400 yards or if your budget stops at the rifle itself—the 7mm PRC cartridge and necessary accessories demand a deeper commitment. For turning money into tiny groups at distance, this is one of the most efficient tools on the market.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
Yes. The CT Rage LR uses a proprietary bottom metal that accepts standard AICS-pattern short-action magazines, which is critical for reliable feeding of the 7mm PRC's longer overall cartridge length. I recommend magazines from Accurate-Mag or MDT specifically marked for 7mm PRC or .300 PRC, as standard .308 Win magazines may not feed correctly.
Does the barrel thread accept a suppressor?
Yes, the 24-inch barrel is threaded 5/8x24, the standard for .30 caliber and larger rifles. This directly accepts most .30 cal suppressors from brands like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged without an adapter. However, always confirm with your suppressor manufacturer that the specific model is rated for 7mm PRC's 65,000+ PSI pressure.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
For in-stock items, Ironclad Armory processes and ships within 2-3 business days via FedEx 2Day to your selected, valid FFL dealer. Total transit time is typically 4-7 business days for the continental U.S., not including the mandatory 4473 background check and transfer wait at your FFL.
Can I return it if I don't like the trigger?
No. Per our compliance policies and federal law, all firearm sales are final once the transfer is complete at your FFL. We strongly recommend reviewing the specifications, as the TriggerTech adjustable primary trigger is user-configurable from 1.5 to 4 pounds of pull weight with a dedicated hex key.
