Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage 7mm BC 20″ Bolt Action Rifle
About this product
The Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage 7mm BC 20″ Bolt Action Rifle is a lightweight mountain hunting platform that prioritizes reduced carry weight and practical precision through carbon fiber construction and a compact 20-inch barrel. Chambered in 7mm BC with a threaded muzzle, this rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy while maintaining NFA compliance as a non-SBR configuration at its 20-inch length. Designed for backcountry hunters who demand reliability in extreme conditions, the Carbon Rage balances ballistic performance with portability through its 6.60-pound total weight.
What is the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage 7mm BC 20″ Bolt Action Rifle used for?
This rifle is built specifically for mountain hunting and long-range shooting where weight reduction matters more than maximum velocity. The 20-inch carbon fiber barrel and 6.60-pound total weight make it ideal for backpack hunts where every ounce counts, while the 7mm BC chambering provides sufficient energy for elk and moose at typical mountain distances. Its threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle brakes for reduced recoil or noise signature management.
How does the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Carbon Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight savings and precision engineering but costs nearly three times more. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.25 pounds and uses a chrome-moly barrel, the Carbon Rage drops to 6.60 pounds through carbon fiber construction while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy versus the Stevens' 1.5 MOA typical performance. For hunters who prioritize lightweight carry and long-range precision, the Carbon Rage justifies its premium; for budget-conscious shooters, the Stevens 334 remains a functional alternative.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.60 pounds (105.6 ounces) and measures 40.5 inches in overall length with its 20-inch barrel. The carbon fiber stock features a 13.5-inch length of pull and 1.5-inch comb height, optimized for optics mounting and quick shoulder acquisition. Barrel diameter measures 0.750 inches at the muzzle with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for budget-conscious hunters or those who prefer traditional wood stocks over carbon fiber. At $2999, it sits in the premium hunting rifle category where alternatives like the Stevens 334 offer similar barrel lengths at one-third the price. The right-hand bolt configuration also excludes left-handed shooters, and the 3+1 magazine capacity may disappoint hunters accustomed to higher-capacity systems.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one detachable 3-round magazine, owner's manual, and factory test target showing sub-MOA grouping. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope mounts or sling swivels, requiring additional purchases of approximately $75-150 for hunting readiness. The Cerakote finish comes with a limited lifetime warranty against corrosion and finish wear.
Is the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage worth it at $2999?
Yes, for serious mountain hunters who value weight savings and precision engineering over cost considerations. The carbon fiber construction saves approximately 1.5 pounds compared to equivalent steel-barreled rifles, making a tangible difference during multi-day backpack hunts. While the price exceeds entry-level options, the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and suppressor-ready threading justify the investment for hunters who demand reliability in extreme conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 7mm Rem Mag ammunition?
- No, the 7mm BC chambering requires proprietary ammunition that operates at higher pressures than 7mm Rem Mag. Expect to purchase factory loads from Fierce Firearms or custom handloads developed specifically for this chambering. Average cost runs $75-90 per box of 20 rounds from specialized retailers.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 40.5-inch overall length fits most 42-inch takedown cases with room for optics. For hard cases, look for models with interior dimensions of at least 44x12x4 inches to accommodate the rifle with scope mounted. Plano All-Weather cases work well for field transport.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Standard shipping to licensed FFL dealers takes 3-5 business days after order processing, which typically adds 2-3 days for background check verification. Express shipping options can reduce transit time to 2 days for an additional $45 fee. All shipments require signature confirmation at FFL location.
