The Fierce Twisted Rival XP — 7mm Rem Mag, 24 in is a lightweight, precision bolt-action rifle built for serious hunters who need to carry a rifle all day and still make that 400-yard shot at dusk. It pairs a hand-lapped, twisted-flute barrel with a carbon-fiber stock that actually fits you, not just a one-size-fits-all mold.

Key Features
- Hand-Lapped Twisted-Flute Barrel — Why it matters: This isn’t a mass-produced tube. Each barrel is hand-lapped to remove tooling marks and stress, which means the bullet leaves the muzzle with less vibration and better consistency. The twisted fluting also sheds weight without sacrificing stiffness.
- C3 Carbon Rival Stock with Adjustable Comb — Why it matters: You can dial in cheek weld height for your scope and shooting position, and the vertical palm swell puts your hand in the same spot every time. That repeatability is what turns a good shot into a great one.
- Match-Grade Adjustable Trigger — Why it matters: You can set the pull weight to your preference (typically 2.5 to 4 lbs), and the crisp break means no creep or over-travel to pull your aim off target. It’s the same style of trigger you’d find in a custom rig.
- Drop-Box Magazine — Why it matters: When you’re in the field and need to unload fast—for a crossing animal or to clear the rifle at the truck—just hit the release and the magazine drops free. No fumbling with a hinged floorplate.
- Two-Position Safety — Why it matters: It’s simple and positive. Push forward to fire, pull back to safe. You can feel and hear the click even with gloves on, which gives you confidence when you’re working a bolt in a hurry.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks miles in rough country and expects to shoot accurately when they get there. It’s also for the shooter who wants a lightweight platform for long-range practice without the weight penalty of a steel-barreled target rifle. If you’re a new hunter looking for one rifle that can handle elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, the 7mm Rem Mag in this package gives you the reach and energy to do it all.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at around 6.5 lbs — you’ll notice the difference on a steep climb compared to a 9-lb rifle.
- Pro: The hand-lapped barrel delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with quality ammunition.
- Pro: Adjustable stock means it fits a wide range of body types and shooting positions.
- Con: The carbon stock, while stiff, can transmit more felt recoil than a heavy laminated wood stock. A good muzzle brake or recoil pad helps.

Is the Fierce Twisted Rival XP — 7mm Rem Mag, 24 in accurate out of the box?
Yes. According to Fierce Firearms specs, the hand-lapped barrel and match-grade action are designed to deliver sub-MOA accuracy with quality factory ammunition. Many shooters report consistent 0.5-0.75 MOA groups with handloads or premium ammo like Hornady ELD-X.
What scope base or rings does this rifle use?
It uses a standard Remington 700 long-action footprint for scope bases. Most one-piece or two-piece bases designed for Rem 700 long actions will fit. You’ll want low or medium rings depending on your objective lens size.
Can I use this rifle for elk hunting?
Absolutely. The 7mm Rem Mag with a 160-175 grain bullet delivers over 3,000 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle and retains enough energy for ethical elk shots out to 400+ yards. The lightweight build makes it a great choice for backcountry elk hunts.
How does the trigger adjust?
The match-grade trigger has a small adjustment screw accessible without removing the stock. Turn clockwise to increase pull weight, counterclockwise to decrease. Start around 3 lbs and adjust to your preference.
Does this rifle come with a hard case?
No, it ships in a soft case or box. We recommend picking up a hard rifle case for safe transport.
