Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage FRG65CM24BU 6.5 Creedmoor 24″
About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage FRG65CM24BU? It's a precision bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor built for shooters who demand mechanical accuracy downrange and regulatory compliance at the range. I've handled enough NFA-questionable builds to appreciate when a manufacturer gets both the engineering and paperwork sides right from the factory. The 24-inch match-grade barrel and carbon fiber stock create a platform that balances range performance with practical transportability.
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage FRG65CM24BU used for?
This rifle is designed for precision long-range shooting out to 1,200 yards and hunting applications where shot placement matters more than rapid follow-ups. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy 140-147 grain match ammunition exceptionally well, maintaining sub-MOA accuracy when paired with quality optics. I'd trust this platform for competitive PRS matches or western elk hunts where 400+ yard shots are common.
How does the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage FRG65CM24BU compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Twisted Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in precision and weight reduction but costs over $1,500 more. Where the Stevens uses a basic synthetic stock and standard barrel, the Fierce rifle employs a carbon fiber Monte Carlo stock that shaves 1.8 pounds off the total weight while improving stability. For hunters covering serious mileage or competitors needing every mechanical advantage, the Fierce is worth the premium.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds unscoped and measures 44.5 inches in overall length with the 24-inch barrel. The carbon fiber stock contributes significantly to the lightweight handling, coming in nearly 30% lighter than traditional walnut or laminate alternatives. Barrel fluting reduces weight by another 8 ounces while improving heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't utilize its precision capabilities. At $2,599, it represents a serious investment that demands matching optics and ammunition to justify. If you're looking for a basic hunting rifle for occasional use, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win delivers adequate performance at less than half the price.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, one 4-round detachable magazine, and the necessary paperwork for warranty registration. Unlike some premium rifles, it doesn't include scope mounts or a hard case, so factor another $150-300 for proper mounting hardware. The radial muzzle brake comes pre-installed but requires proper timing if you plan to suppress it later.
Is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage FRG65CM24BU worth it at $2,599?
For serious long-range shooters, absolutely—the carbon fiber stock and match-grade barrel justify the price through measurable performance gains. The weight reduction to 6.8 pounds makes it viable for backcountry hunting while maintaining the stability needed for precision work. Considering equivalent custom builds start around $3,500, this factory offering represents solid value for the performance tier.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 24-inch barrel comes threaded 5/8x24, which is standard for 6.5 Creedmoor suppressors. You'll need to properly time the radial brake or use a peel washer when installing muzzle devices. Most major suppressor manufacturers including SilencerCo and Dead Air make compatible mounts for this thread pattern.
- Does it work with aftermarket triggers?
- The factory trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 4 pounds and uses a standard Remington 700 footprint. This means aftermarket options from TriggerTech, Timney, and Jewel drop in without modification. I've installed TriggerTech Specials in three similar actions with zero fitting required.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- We ship within 2 business days via UPS Ground, with transit times of 3-5 business days to most continental US locations. All firearms ship signature-required to your chosen FFL dealer, who will process the 4473 transfer. International orders require additional ATF paperwork and typically add 7-10 business days.
- Can I return it if there are accuracy issues?
- Fierce Firearms guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition, so if your rifle doesn't meet that standard, we'll facilitate a warranty evaluation. You have 30 days from receipt to request testing, after which repairs go through Fierce's lifetime warranty. All returns must go through an FFL and include the original test target data.
