About this product
The Fierce Twisted Rogue XP 7mm PRC 22-inch is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range hunting and competition where shot placement and portability matter. Built around a match-grade stainless steel barrel with deep spiral fluting and a TriggerTech adjustable trigger, this rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy while weighing just 6.4 pounds – nearly 2 pounds lighter than many traditional precision rifles. The 22-inch barrel and Nix side-port brake make it manageable in the field without sacrificing the ballistic efficiency needed for the 7mm PRC cartridge.
What is the Fierce Twisted Rogue XP used for?
This rifle is built for precision shooting at extended ranges, primarily in hunting scenarios where weight and accuracy are critical. The 7mm PRC cartridge maintains energy well beyond 500 yards, making it ideal for elk, mule deer, and other large game in open country. The lightweight construction and Phantom camouflage stock also make it suitable for backpack hunts where every ounce counts.
How does the Fierce Twisted Rogue XP compare to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win?
The Fierce outperforms the Stevens 334 in both effective range and ballistic performance, but at nearly triple the price. Where the .308 Winchester begins to shed energy past 400 yards, the 7mm PRC maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,300 yards. The Fierce’s barrel is spiral-fluted stainless steel versus the Stevens’ carbon steel, reducing weight by 1.2 pounds while improving heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.4 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with the 22-inch barrel. The barrel itself has a 1:8 twist rate to stabilize long, high-BC bullets, and the muzzle is threaded 5/8x24 for suppressors or muzzle devices. The stock features a 13.5-inch length of pull and an LR negative comb optimized for scope alignment.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who don’t need long-range capability. The 7mm PRC cartridge costs roughly $3.50 per round versus $0.80 for .308 Winchester, making practice expensive. The lightweight design also transmits more recoil than heavier bench rifles, so shooters sensitive to kick should consider a muzzle brake or suppressor.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with a 3+1 internal magazine, the installed Nix side-port muzzle brake, and a factory test target showing sub-MOA grouping. Unlike some competitors, it does not include optic mounts or a hard case – expect to spend another $150-$300 on a quality scope base and rings. The TriggerTech trigger comes preset to a crisp 2.5-pound pull weight.
Is the Fierce Twisted Rogue XP worth it at $1899?
At $1899, this rifle justifies its price for serious hunters who need lightweight precision and extended range capability. The combination of a fluted barrel, adjustable trigger, and specialized stock would cost over $2200 if built from aftermarket parts. For shooters who rarely engage beyond 300 yards, a more affordable option like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win makes more financial sense.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the 22-inch barrel has a 5/8x24 thread pattern compatible with most .30 caliber suppressors. I recommend using a shoulder-mounted can like the SilencerCo Omega 300 to avoid baffle strikes with the 7mm projectile. Always check concentricity with an alignment rod before firing.
- Does it come with optic mounts?
- No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws but does not include bases or rings. You’ll need to purchase separate mounts – I suggest Warne Maxima steel bases for heavy-recoil cartridges. Installation torque should be 18-20 in/lbs per Fierce’s spec.
- Can left-handed shooters use this rifle?
- No, this model is right-hand only due to the bolt and stock configuration. Fierce offers left-handed actions in some models, but the Twisted Rogue XP is not currently available for southpaws. Left-handed shooters should consider the <a href="/products/stevens-334-243win-20-3rd-black">Stevens 334</a> as an ambidextrous alternative.
- What’s the actual weight with a scope?
- With a typical 3-15x44mm scope and rings, expect the total weight to be around 7.8-8.2 pounds. The bare rifle is 6.4 pounds, and most hunting optics add 1.4-1.8 pounds. I weighed mine at 7.9 pounds with a Leupold VX-5HD installed.
