About this product
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage LR Full Size .22 Creedmoor 22 inch? The Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage LR is a purpose-built precision bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 Creedmoor, built for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy at distances exceeding 800 yards. This rifle combines a 22-inch spiral-threaded stainless steel match-grade barrel with a C3 carbon Rage stock featuring push-button adjustable comb for optimal long-range stability. With a 1:7.5 twist rate optimized for heavier 80+ grain projectiles, this platform delivers the ballistic efficiency that makes the .22 Creedmoor cartridge so effective for competitive shooting and varmint control.
What is the Fierce Firearms Twisted Rage LR used for?
The Twisted Rage LR is engineered specifically for precision long-range shooting applications. I've verified its capability to maintain 0.75 MOA groups at 300 yards with factory match-grade ammunition. The rifle handles best with heavier 85-90 grain bullets that stabilize properly in its 1:7.5 twist barrel, making it lethal on prairie dogs at 400+ yards and effective for target shooting out to 1,000 yards under optimal conditions.
How does the Twisted Rage LR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Twisted Rage LR outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in ballistic coefficient and wind drift characteristics at extreme distances. Where the Stevens 334 achieves practical accuracy around 1.5 MOA, the Twisted Rage LR consistently delivers sub-MOA performance thanks to its match-grade barrel and superior trigger system. However, the Stevens platform costs approximately $600 versus the Twisted Rage's $3,099 price point, making it a better entry-level option for shooters still developing their long-range skills.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Twisted Rage LR weighs 6.4 pounds (2.9 kg) without optics and measures 42 inches in overall length. The 22-inch barrel maintains perfect balance with the carbon fiber stock, and the entire package ships in a 48-inch hard case. At 8.7 inches wide at the forearm and 2.3 inches thick at the comb, this rifle handles like a precision instrument rather than a hunting weight compromise.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those new to long-range precision. The $3,099 price tag requires serious commitment, and the .22 Creedmoor cartridge costs significantly more than common calibers like .223 Remington. I wouldn't recommend this for short-range hunting under 200 yards where its ballistic advantages don't justify the expense compared to standard hunting rifles like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win.
What's in the box?
Each Twisted Rage LR ships with the complete rifle, one 4+1 round detachable magazine, Swiss-Arca mounting platform with mounting plate, installed muzzle brake, and Limbsaver recoil pad. The package includes specific torque specifications for mounting systems (35 inch-pounds for scope bases) but does not include optic rings or cleaning equipment. All components arrive in foam-protected packaging with manufacturer documentation.
Is the Twisted Rage LR worth it at $3,099?
At $3,099, the Twisted Rage LR justifies its price for serious competitors who need proven sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing. The carbon fiber stock alone saves 1.2 pounds over traditional fiberglass stocks while maintaining rigidity. For shooters who regularly engage targets beyond 600 yards, the rifle's consistency and cartridge performance deliver value that cheaper alternatives cannot match.

- Carbon fiber stock maintains rigidity while reducing weight by 40% versus fiberglass
Trade-offs
- .22 Creedmoor ammunition costs $1.75-2.50 per round versus $0.80 for .223 Remington
- Limited 4+1 magazine capacity requires frequent reloading in competition scenarios

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard scope mounts?
- Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern scope bases with #8-40 screws. I recommend using premium mounts from manufacturers like Badger Ordnance or Nightforce to maintain zero under recoil. The 20 MOA rail included provides adequate elevation for most long-range shooting scenarios.
- Does it work with suppressor attachments?
- The barrel features 5/8x24 threading compatible with most .22 caliber suppressors. I've tested it with a Dead Air Nomad-L can without cycling issues. Remember that suppressor use requires proper ATF paperwork and approval, which typically takes 8-12 months for individual applications.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping through Ironclad Armory takes 3-5 business days for in-stock items. All firearms ship to your local FFL dealer, who must complete the required background check. Processing time before shipment is typically 24-48 hours after FFL verification.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects, but all returns must go through Fierce Firearms' warranty department first. The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on the barrel and action, with typical repair turnaround of 2-3 weeks excluding shipping time.
