About this product
The Fierce Firearms Twisted Rival FP 7mm PRC 22" Barrel is a precision bolt-action rifle built for hunters and long-range shooters who demand match-grade performance from a lightweight carbon chassis platform. This rifle combines a hand-lapped 22-inch stainless steel barrel with twisted fluting and a C3 carbon fiber stock, delivering sub-MOA accuracy with a weight of just 6.8 pounds – nearly 2 pounds lighter than comparable steel-chassis rifles like the Stevens 334 .308 Win 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle while maintaining superior ballistic performance.
What is the Twisted Rival FP used for?
This rifle is designed for precision hunting and long-range target shooting where weight savings and accuracy are critical. The 7mm PRC chambering provides excellent ballistic performance beyond 1000 yards, while the 22-inch barrel length offers an optimal balance between velocity and maneuverability in field conditions. The adjustable comb and pistol grip allow for custom fitment to individual shooters.
How does the Twisted Rival FP compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Twisted Rival FP outperforms the Stevens 334 .308 Win in both weight reduction and long-range ballistics, but at nearly triple the price point. While the Stevens 334 offers reliable performance at 400-600 yards with its .308 Win chambering and 20-inch barrel, the Twisted Rival's 7mm PRC cartridge and match-grade barrel maintain supersonic velocity past 1300 yards with less wind drift. The carbon fiber construction shaves 1.9 pounds off the weight while maintaining rigidity.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete rifle weighs 6.8 pounds with an overall length of 42.5 inches including the muzzle brake. The 22-inch barrel features a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavy 7mm projectiles from 175-195 grains, while the action measures 8.75 inches from recoil lug to bolt face. The carbon stock adds minimal weight while providing a 13.5-inch length of pull that adjusts ±0.5 inches.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high-volume firing capability. The $1999 price point places it well above entry-level options like the Stevens 334, and the 3+1 magazine capacity limits practical rate of fire compared to higher-capacity tactical platforms. The precision-oriented trigger (adjustable 1-3 lbs) also makes it less ideal for rough field conditions where heavier trigger pulls are preferred.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round detachable magazine, the installed radial muzzle brake, and manufacturer documentation including the 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee test target. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope mounting hardware or a case, requiring additional investment in quality rings and bases. The entire package ships in a double-boxed configuration weighing 14.2 pounds total.
Is the Twisted Rival FP worth it at $1999?
At $1999, this rifle delivers exceptional value for serious hunters and precision shooters who prioritize weight savings and long-range capability. The carbon fiber construction and match-grade barrel justify the premium over alternatives like the Stevens 334 .243 Win, providing nearly 40% weight reduction while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy. For shooters needing maximum performance in backcountry hunting scenarios or competition environments, the investment pays dividends in carry comfort and ballistic consistency.
