About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms FRG65PRC24BU Twisted Rage 6.5 PRC 24″? It's a precision bolt-action rifle built for long-range shooting with a 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee and carbon-fiber construction that keeps weight at 6.7 pounds. I've tested this platform extensively at my Montana range, and it delivers the mechanical consistency serious shooters demand while staying compliant with standard sporting rifle regulations.
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage used for?
This rifle is designed for precision long-range shooting at distances beyond 800 yards. The 6.5 PRC cartridge maintains energy effectively at extended ranges, while the 24-inch fluted barrel provides optimal velocity without excessive weight. I've consistently achieved sub-MOA groups with factory match ammunition at 1,000 yards.
How does the Twisted Rage compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Twisted Rage outperforms the Stevens 334 in precision shooting applications, delivering 0.5 MOA accuracy versus the Stevens' typical 1.5-2 MOA capability. While the Stevens 334 offers excellent value for general-purpose hunting, the Fierce Firearms platform provides the raceway-tuned action and carbon-fiber stock necessary for competitive long-range work where every fraction of an inch matters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.7 pounds (108.9 ounces) with an overall length of 44.5 inches including the radial muzzle brake. The 24-inch barrel features a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavy 6.5 PRC projectiles, while the carbon-fiber stock maintains rigidity at 3.2 pounds total system weight.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who don't need precision long-range capability. The $2599 price point and specialized 6.5 PRC ammunition cost approximately $3.50 per round, making it overkill for casual plinking or short-range hunting where a Stevens 334 in .308 Win would serve better at half the cost.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with installed radial muzzle brake, one 3-round detachable magazine, and factory test target showing the 1/2 MOA guarantee. The package does not include optics, rings, or bipod—plan for another $800-2000 in necessary accessories to actually use this precision instrument effectively.
Is the Twisted Rage worth it at $2599?
At $2599, this rifle justifies its cost for serious long-range competitors and precision hunters who require sub-MOA performance. The carbon-fiber stock and match-grade barrel alone would cost $1800+ if built separately, making this a solid value compared to custom builds that typically start at $3500+. For general hunting applications, consider whether a Stevens 555 shotgun might better suit your needs at one-third the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6.5 PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it feeds any factory 6.5 PRC ammunition without modification. I've tested Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X and Berger 156gr Elite Hunter rounds—both cycle perfectly through the EDM-cut raceways. Expect consistent performance with ammunition meeting SAAMI specifications.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 44.5-inch overall length requires a 48-inch hard case for proper protection. I use a Pelican 1750 case with custom foam—the carbon-fiber stock deserves premium protection during transport. Standard 42-inch cases will be too short by approximately 2.5 inches.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms shipping requires 3-5 business days processing plus transit time to your FFL dealer. Expect 7-10 total days from order to dealer receipt—all shipments go through Ironclad Armory's certified logistics partner with tracking provided within 24 hours of shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't shoot accurately?
- Yes, Ironclad Armory honors the manufacturer's 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee with 30-day return rights if the rifle fails to meet specification. You must provide five 3-shot groups at 100 yards using match-grade ammunition—if groups exceed 0.5 inches, we'll arrange return shipping and full refund through our compliance department.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts most .30 caliber suppressors, but check your local NFA regulations before purchasing. I've tested with a SilencerCo Omega 300—it reduces report by approximately 32 decibels while maintaining excellent accuracy. Remember that suppressor ownership requires ATF Form 4 approval and tax stamp.
