Fierce Firearms MTN REAPER 7BC 22″ Rifle
About this product
The Fierce Firearms MTN REAPER 7BC 22" Rifle is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle for serious backcountry hunters who need a lightweight, corrosion-resistant platform that shoots flat and hits hard. Chambered in 7MM Backcountry, this rifle combines a carbon-fiber barrel with an ultra-lite magnesium chassis, making it easy to carry all day without sacrificing precision. It comes ready for optics and a suppressor, with a Distressed Grey Cerakote finish that stands up to wet weather and rough terrain. This is the rifle I recommend to guys who hike miles into the mountains and expect one-shot accuracy when they get there.

Key Features
- Carbon-Fiber Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This barrel sheds weight without losing rigidity, so you can carry the rifle farther and still hold a tight group at 500 yards.
- Ultra-Lite Magnesium Grip & Chassis — WHY IT MATTERS: Magnesium is lighter than aluminum, which keeps the whole rig under 6 pounds for those long hikes into elk country.
- Fierce Rival Two-Lug Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: The receiver is drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting, and the two-lug design gives you a smooth, fast bolt lift when you need a quick follow-up shot.
- Distressed Grey Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Cerakote resists rust and scratches from brush and rain, so this rifle will still look good after a week in the backcountry.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8x24) — WHY IT MATTERS: You can attach a suppressor or brake directly without a gunsmith, making it ready for quiet hunting or recoil reduction right out of the box.
Who It's For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks miles off the trail, sets up on a ridge, and needs a single, precise shot on a mule deer or elk at extended range. It's also for the shooter who wants a lightweight, corrosion-resistant rifle for wet-weather hunting trips. If you carry a heavy rifle and wish you didn't, the MTN REAPER is your answer.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6-pound weight makes it one of the lightest production rifles in 7MM Backcountry. Pro: Cerakote finish and carbon barrel resist rust in wet conditions. Pro: Threaded muzzle and drilled/tapped receiver simplify upgrades. Con: The 7MM Backcountry chambering uses proprietary ammunition, so you won't find ammo at every small-town hardware store — plan ahead and order extra.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets common in 7MM Backcountry loads. You can expect consistent accuracy with 160-180 grain projectiles.
Can I mount a suppressor without a gunsmith?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, and the barrel is already timed for a direct-thread suppressor or muzzle brake. Just screw it on and go.
What scope base does this rifle use?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style bases, which are widely available. You can use any standard two-piece or one-piece rail that fits a R700 footprint.
Is the 7MM Backcountry ammo hard to find?
It's a newer cartridge, so availability is not as broad as .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. But major online retailers stock it, and Fierce offers factory loads. I'd recommend ordering a few boxes when you buy the rifle.
