The Fierce Firearms CT Rage 6.5 PRC 22″ Carbon Fiber is a purpose-built mountain rifle that sheds weight without cutting corners. It uses a titanium three-lug action and a carbon fiber match-grade barrel to deliver sub-MOA accuracy in a package you can carry all day. This is a serious tool for backcountry hunters who need a reliable, lightweight rifle chambered in the hard-hitting 6.5 PRC.

Key Features
- Titanium Three-Lug Action – This gives you a short 60-degree bolt lift for fast follow-up shots, and the titanium keeps the rifle light enough for long uphill hikes. Why it matters: less weight means more energy for the climb, and a faster cycle means you’re ready if a second shot is needed.
- 22″ Carbon Fiber Match-Grade Barrel – The barrel is wrapped in carbon fiber to shed heat and weight while maintaining stiffness. Why it matters: you get match-grade accuracy without the heavy steel barrel that would slow you down on the mountain.
- Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) – Factory-threaded so you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith. Why it matters: quieter shots in the field and reduced recoil when you’re trying to spot your own impact.
- Monte Carlo Fixed Stock – A sleek, low-profile stock with a raised cheek piece that aligns your eye with the scope naturally. Why it matters: no cheek weld adjustments needed, and the fixed design means one less thing to rattle loose on a rough trail.
- 6.5 PRC Chamber – This cartridge pushes a 140-grain bullet at over 2950 fps, giving you flat trajectory and retained energy past 500 yards. Why it matters: you can ethically take elk and mule deer at longer ranges without holding over excessively.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks miles before shooting. If you’re a backcountry elk hunter, a sheep hunter, or someone who just wants one lightweight rifle that can handle anything from whitetails to bears, the CT Rage is built for you. It’s also a great choice for the new hunter who wants to start with a premium rifle that won’t need upgrading later.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Extremely light at 6.25 lbs – you’ll notice the difference on a 10-mile hike.
- Pro: Titanium action resists corrosion and is durable for harsh weather.
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box.
- Con: The fixed stock means you can’t adjust length of pull or comb height – it’s built for a standard shooter. If you’re very tall or short, you may need to consider a stock pack or a different model.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Fierce CT Rage 6.5 PRC?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes the heavier 140-156 grain bullets that the 6.5 PRC is known for. Per Fierce, this twist is optimized for long-range hunting loads.
Is the CT Rage available in left-hand configuration?
Yes, Fierce offers the CT Rage in both right and left-hand models. Just specify when ordering, and we can get it for you.
Does the rifle come with a scope base?
The CT Rage does not include a scope base. You’ll need to purchase a Picatinny rail or scope rings that fit the 8-40 screw pattern (common on Fierce actions). We have several options available in the store.
Can I use this rifle for target shooting or just hunting?
Absolutely. While it’s built for hunting, the match-grade barrel and sub-MOA guarantee make it a capable target rifle. Just keep in mind the lightweight stock may not be as stable on a bench as a heavy chassis rifle.
What is the warranty on the Fierce CT Rage?
Fierce Firearms offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner on the action and barrel. If you have any issues, we can help you process a warranty claim through our shop.
