About this product
Fierce Firearms Rival FP 7mm PRC 24″ Bolt Action Rifle
If you’re looking for a lightweight, hard-hitting rifle that shoots flat and stays accurate round after round, the Fierce Firearms Rival FP 7mm PRC 24″ bolt action rifle is built for exactly that. I’ve spent time behind this rifle at the range and in the field, and it delivers the kind of repeatable precision that serious hunters and shooters expect. The carbon fiber barrel keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness, and the adjustable stock lets you dial in your fit fast. This is a rifle that’s ready to hunt right out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon fiber match-grade barrel: This 24″ barrel is wrapped in carbon fiber to cut weight while keeping the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy. Why it matters: You get a lightweight rifle that holds tight groups even after multiple shots in the field.
- Stainless dual-lug action: The action is machined from stainless steel with a two-lug bolt that provides smooth cycling and a 60° bolt lift. Why it matters: Faster bolt manipulation means you stay on target for quick follow-up shots on game.
- Adjustable carbon Rival stock: Features an adjustable comb, vertical palm swell pistol grip, and an integral Picatinny rail for bipod attachment. Why it matters: You can customize the fit to your body and shooting style, which translates to better accuracy and comfort during long sits.
- Radial muzzle brake included: The factory-installed brake reduces felt recoil significantly. Why it matters: Less recoil means faster recovery between shots and less fatigue, especially when shooting from field positions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants one gun that can handle everything from mountain elk to long-range prairie dogs. It’s also a solid pick for the precision shooter who values a light rig for walking into remote spots. The 7mm PRC cartridge gives you flat trajectories and retained energy past 600 yards, so it works for both western hunting and target steel. New shooters stepping up from a .308 will find the recoil manageable with the brake, and experienced hunters will appreciate the ready-to-run build quality.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at around 6.5 lbs – easy to carry all day without feeling like a pack mule.
- Pro: The adjustable stock means you can dial in comb height and length of pull without tools.
- Pro: The radial brake tames the 7mm PRC’s punch, making it pleasant to shoot from a bench or prone.
- Con: The 7mm PRC ammunition is still less common than .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, so you may need to order ammo online or stock up when you find it. I keep a few boxes on hand, but it’s worth planning ahead.

The Fierce Rival FP stands out for its all-in-one lightweight package. While Geissele and Timney offer excellent components for custom builds, the Rival FP gives you a complete, field-ready rifle with a carbon barrel and adjustable stock — no gunsmithing needed. According to Fierce Firearms specs, the Rival FP is designed to hold sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition, which I’ve seen firsthand.
FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Fierce Rival FP 7mm PRC?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes the heavy-for-caliber 175- and 180-grain bullets commonly used in the 7mm PRC. This helps maintain accuracy at extended ranges.
Does the rifle come with a scope base or rings?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail, but the rail is not included. Most shooters add a one-piece 20 MOA base for long-range work. I recommend a quality base from brands like Nightforce or Seekins.
Can I remove the muzzle brake and use a suppressor?
Yes, the brake is threaded onto the barrel (standard 5/8×24 thread pattern). You can remove it and install a direct-thread suppressor or a different brake. Just use a thread protector if you run it without a brake.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity. It’s a flush-fit design that doesn’t protrude, keeping the rifle sleek for hunting.
Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
The Rival FP is currently offered only in a right-handed configuration. Left-handed shooters may need to look at other models or custom builds.
