About this product
The Fierce Firearms REAPER H-TAC 7PRC 24″ is a bolt-action precision rifle engineered for long-range accuracy with a carbon barrel and chassis system. Built on a modified Remington 700 pattern receiver, it delivers consistent sub-MOA performance under sustained fire. The platform incorporates modern materials and mounting solutions for serious precision shooters who demand repeatability at extended distances.
What is the Fierce Firearms REAPER H-TAC used for?
This rifle is designed for precision long-range shooting applications where shot-to-shot consistency matters most. The 7MM PRC cartridge provides excellent ballistic coefficient retention beyond 1,000 yards, making it ideal for ELR competitions, tactical training, and hunting scenarios requiring ethical shot placement at extreme distances. The threaded 5/8×24 muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes to manage recoil during extended range sessions.
How does the REAPER H-TAC compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The REAPER H-TAC outperforms the Stevens 334 in every precision metric, though at nearly triple the price point. Where the Stevens 334 shoots 1.5-2 MOA groups with factory ammo, the REAPER H-TAC consistently delivers sub-MOA (0.75 MOA average) performance with match-grade ammunition. The carbon fiber barrel and aluminum chassis provide superior thermal stability during strings of fire, maintaining zero through 20+ rounds where the Stevens' sporter barrel shows significant POI shift.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 9.6 pounds unloaded with an overall length of 46.25 inches from buttstock to muzzle crown. The 24-inch C3 carbon barrel contributes significantly to the weight savings, cutting nearly 2 pounds compared to equivalent contour steel barrels while maintaining stiffness. The chassis system adds approximately 1.5 pounds but provides unmatched accessory mounting options and ergonomic adjustment.
Who is this NOT for?
This platform is unsuitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't utilize its precision capabilities. The $2499 price point and specialized 7MM PRC chambering make it overkill for casual range use or general hunting under 400 yards. Additionally, the 46.25-inch length and 9.6-pound weight make it cumbersome for stalk hunting or quick maneuver scenarios where compactness matters more than ultimate accuracy.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, thread protector, and basic owner's manual covering maintenance and warranty procedures. Unlike some competitors, it does not include optic mounts, bipods, or case—serious precision shooters typically prefer selecting these components separately to match their specific needs and preferences for long-range work.
Is the REAPER H-TAC worth it at $2499?
At $2499, this rifle delivers exceptional value for serious long-range shooters who demand factory-built precision without custom gunsmithing costs. The carbon barrel alone would cost $800+ as an aftermarket upgrade, while the chassis system runs $600-900 separately. For comparison, building equivalent performance from a base Stevens 334 would exceed $3000 after gunsmithing, making the REAPER H-TAC a rational choice for disciplined shooters investing in ELR capability.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the REAPER H-TAC uses standard AICS pattern magazines. The rifle ships with one 3-round magazine, and compatible magazines from Accuracy International, Magpul, and MDT all function reliably. Expect to pay $80-120 for additional magazines depending on capacity and manufacturer.
- Does it come with a muzzle device installed?
- No, the rifle ships with a simple 5/8×24 thread protector only. You'll need to purchase a muzzle brake or suppressor separately. Popular options include Silencerco ASR brakes or Area 419 Hellfire systems, both of which thread directly onto the factory barrel threads without adapters.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Most orders ship within 3 business days via FedEx or UPS to your selected FFL. Transit time typically adds 2-5 business days depending on location. All firearms require signature confirmation and FFL paperwork completion before transfer—allow 7-10 total days from order to pickup in most cases.
- Can I use .284 Winchester ammunition in this rifle?
- Absolutely not—the 7MM PRC chamber is dimensionally incompatible with .284 Winchester. Attempting to fire .284 Win rounds will cause dangerous pressure spikes and potential firearm damage. Only use ammunition specifically marked 7MM PRC, which operates at 65,000 PSI maximum pressure compared to .284 Win's 54,000 PSI limit.
