You’re looking at a rifle built for Montana’s demanding terrain. This Fierce CT Rival XP in 7mm SAUM is for hunters who need to carry a rifle all day but still demand accuracy when it counts. If you’re after elk in the high country or making long shots in open country, this rifle gives you the performance you need without the weight.
What It Does
This rifle puts accurate shots on target, even after a hard day of climbing. The 7mm SAUM cartridge is flat-shooting and effective on big game out to reasonable distances, and the light weight makes it a comfortable carry for extended hunts. It’s equally at home on the range for honing your skills.

Key Features
- Titanium Action: Saves a noticeable amount of weight compared to steel actions – around 12 ounces – making a real difference on long hikes. The 70-degree bolt throw keeps things smooth and fast, important when you need a quick follow-up.
- Carbon Fiber Barrel: Fierce’s C3 Carbon technology minimizes barrel flex and heat buildup, helping maintain consistent accuracy even when shooting multiple rounds.
- Adjustable Cheek Rest: Dial in a perfect cheek weld for consistent eye alignment with your optic. Adjustments are made in 0.25-inch increments.
- 3-Round Drop-Box Magazine: Reliable feeding of 7mm SAUM cartridges, with a flush floorplate that doesn’t snag when shooting from prone positions.
- TriggerTech Trigger: A crisp, clean 2.5-pound pull with no creep. It’s a trigger you can depend on in the field.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the hunter who prioritizes lightweight performance. If you’re willing to trade magazine capacity for a significantly lighter rifle, the CT Rival XP delivers. It’s a good choice for those who stalk alpine terrain and need to keep their pack weight down.
What You Should Know
- Weight Savings: The titanium action and carbon fiber barrel add up to a substantial weight reduction.
- Accuracy Potential: Fierce claims 0.5 MOA groups with factory ammunition, providing a solid foundation for precision shooting.
- Magazine Capacity: With a 3-round magazine, this rifle isn’t geared towards high-volume shooting.
- Finish Durability: The Cerakote finish on the action is durable, but repeated contact with a sling can cause wear.
