About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms FCRG7PRC22TP Carbon Rage 7mm PRC 22-inch? It's a premium mountain hunting rifle featuring a carbon fiber barrel, steel Triad action, and fixed Monte Carlo stock designed for precision shooting in demanding backcountry conditions. Chambered in the high-performance 7mm PRC cartridge, this rifle delivers exceptional ballistics while maintaining a remarkably lightweight 6.6-pound package that won't burden you during extended alpine pursuits.
What is the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage used for?
This rifle is optimized for mountain hunting and long-range precision shooting where weight reduction matters most. The 22-inch carbon fiber barrel provides stiffness for consistent accuracy while shaving nearly 2 pounds compared to traditional steel barrels, making it ideal for backcountry elk and mule deer hunts where every ounce counts during steep ascents.
How does the Carbon Rage compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Carbon Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in both weight reduction and precision capabilities, though at nearly triple the price. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds with its synthetic stock and steel barrel, the Carbon Rage drops to 6.6 pounds with superior carbon fiber construction while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy guarantees that the budget-friendly Stevens cannot match.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs exactly 6.6 pounds with an overall length of 42.5 inches and 22-inch barrel length. The carbon fiber stock measures 13.75 inches length of pull with a 1.5-inch cheek riser, while the 1:8 twist rate barrel accommodates heavy 7mm PRC projectiles up to 195 grains for optimal long-range stability.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for budget-conscious hunters or those who prefer traditional wood stocks and blued steel finishes. At $2999, it represents a significant investment over entry-level options like the Stevens 334, making it better suited for serious backcountry hunters who value weight savings and precision engineering over cost considerations.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with installed muzzlebrake, one 3-round detachable magazine, and mounting hardware for the integral bipod rail. The package does not include optics, rings, or a bipod, requiring approximately $800-1500 additional investment to make the rifle field-ready for serious hunting applications.
Is the Carbon Rage worth it at $2999?
Yes, for hunters who specifically need the weight reduction and precision capabilities this rifle delivers. The carbon fiber barrel alone saves 1.8 pounds over comparable steel barrels while maintaining accuracy, making it worth the premium for mountain hunters who cover 5-10 miles daily in steep terrain where every ounce impacts endurance and shot opportunity.

Frequently asked questions
