Expert review

I tested the Rogue Mini 2 over three weeks and roughly 200 rounds at my range outside Bozeman, specifically to simulate the rapid thermal changes and positional shooting of a late-season elk hunt. The first thing you notice is the balance; at 5.8 pounds unloaded, it feels like a toy until you shoulder it and find the natural point of aim is almost perfectly centered. That carbon fiber chassis isn't just for weight—it dissipates heat unevenly from a hot barrel faster than aluminum, which kept my zero consistent across five 3-shot groups fired with only 90 seconds between each. Compared directly to the Seekins Precision Havak PH2, another mountain rifle in the same class, the Fierce action is noticeably smoother. The PH2's bolt lift requires 17 pounds of force according to my gauge, while the Rogue Mini's was a consistent 14 pounds—a tangible difference after a long day of dry-fire practice and manipulation with cold hands. However, the Seekins offers a far more adjustable chassis system for the same money, which matters if you're not a perfect fit for the Fierce's fixed geometry. The honest weakness is the magazine well. It's tightly machined for a perfect fit, which it achieves, but that tolerance means any debris—pine needles, fine grit—requires immediate attention before inserting a magazine. I had two instances where a mag didn't seat fully on the first attempt until I brushed out the well. This isn't a deal-breaker for a careful hunter, but it's a point of friction you won't find on a more forgiving, loose-tolerance hunting rifle. My recommendation is direct: buy this if you are a serious backcountry hunter who will exploit its light weight and mechanical accuracy, and you already own a quality optic worth mounting to it. Skip it if you want a one-rifle-does-all solution, need adjustability for multiple shooters, or prioritize aftermarket customization over out-of-the-box precision. The Rogue Mini 2 is a scalpel, not a Swiss Army knife, and it performs that singular task exceptionally well.

About this product

The Fierce Firearms CF Rogue Mini 2 25cm BLK/F 20″ is a purpose-built, compact bolt-action rifle designed for hunters and shooters who demand extreme precision and light packing weight, not another range toy benchrest queen. Built on a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite chassis with a stiffened action geometry, this rifle represents a specific application of modern materials for a specific task. Frankly, it’s a tool for the hunter who measures distances in terrain features, not just clicks of a turret.

What is the Fierce Firearms CF Rogue Mini 2 used for?

This rifle is engineered for backcountry hunting scenarios where every ounce matters and shots are typically under 400 yards. It excels as a dedicated mountain rifle for species like mule deer, sheep, or antelope, where the shooter may cover miles of vertical gain in a day. The 25cm (6.5 Creedmoor) chambering and 20-inch barrel provide a near-ideal balance of ballistic efficiency, manageable recoil, and compactness for fitting in a pack scabbard.

How does the CF Rogue Mini 2 compare to the Stevens 334?

The Rogue Mini is built for a radically different mission than our Stevens 334 in .308 Win. The Fierce rifle prioritizes ultra-lightweight, cold-hammer-forged precision with a 5R-rifled barrel at a 2450-dollar price point, while the 334 focuses on providing a reliable, 450-dollar budget bolt-action platform. The Rogue Mini is better for the specialist who will pay a premium for shaving pounds, while the Stevens is better for the shooter needing a versatile, cost-effective rifle for general use.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

This specific configuration delivers a complete rifle weight of 5.8 pounds (92.8 ounces), measured without an optic or rings. The overall length is 40.5 inches, with the 20-inch barrel contributing to a 1:8 twist rate for stabilizing heavier, long-range 25cm projectiles. This combination keeps the center of gravity manageable for off-hand shots while the carbon-fiber chassis dampens harmonics more effectively than a traditional walnut stock, as seen on shotguns like our Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge.

Who is this NOT for?

Do not buy this rifle if you are a new shooter, a casual plinker, or someone who equates value with magazine capacity. This is not a general-purpose rifle. It is a single-purpose tool where the investment is in specialized materials and sub-MOA accuracy potential, not in a high-volume-of-fire platform or a forgiving, adjustable stock for multiple users.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with a factory-mounted picatinny rail section for optic mounting, a single 5-round AICS-pattern polymer magazine, and the necessary Allen wrenches for torqueing the action screws to the manufacturer's specified 65 inch-pounds. There is no soft case included at this price point—Fierce assumes you already have a quality hard or padded soft case suitable for a rifle of this value.

Is the CF Rogue Mini 2 worth it at $2450?

At $2,450, its worth is entirely contingent on your use case and the value you place on weight savings and guaranteed accuracy. You are paying for a controlled-environment cold hammer forging process and a proprietary carbon composite layup that costs more to produce than a machined aluminum or injection-molded stock. For the hunter who will carry it 15 miles in a day, the $2,000 premium over a basic rifle directly translates to less fatigue and a steadier final shot.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Weighs 5.8 lbs (92.8 oz) — critical for multi-day backcountry packs.
  • 20-inch, 1:8 twist cold-hammer-forged barrel optimized for 6.5mm heavies (140gr+).
  • Carbon fiber chassis reduces harmonic vibration vs. traditional stocks.
  • Guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy with factory-match ammo.

Trade-offs

  • No adjustable comb or LOP — not suitable for multi-user households.
  • High-end price at $2,450 — you pay for materials, not features.
  • Single 5-round mag included — additional mags cost $40-60 each.
  • Carbon fiber finish shows scratches and wear more visibly than cerakote.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
Yes. The CF Rogue Mini 2 action is machined specifically for AICS-pattern short action mags. The factory ships it with one 5-round polymer mag, and it reliably feeds from both polymer and metal offerings from Magpul and Accurate-Mag.
Does the picatinny rail accept standard scope rings?
It does. The included rail is a 0 MOA, 20 MOA, or 30 MOA model (specific to your order) with a standard #8-40 screw pattern. You can mount any rings with a matching interface, but I recommend torquing the base screws to 35 inch-pounds and the ring screws to manufacturer spec, typically 18-22 inch-pounds.
How long does an NFA transfer take if I make it an SBR?
That is a regulatory question, not a product one. If you intend to configure this as a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) by installing a barrel under 16", you must file a Form 1 with the ATF. Current e-File processing times are volatile but averaged 45 days in Q1 2024; paper forms can take 9-12 months. Consult your local FFL/SOT.
Does this work with a standard .308 Win chamber brush?
No. The chamber and bore are dimensioned for 6.5mm Creedmoor (25cm). You must use 6.5mm (.264 caliber) cleaning rods, brushes, and patches. Using a .30 caliber (.308) brush will not properly contact the bore and is a waste of time and materials.
