Key Features

• Carbon-Fiber Wrapped Barrel — Why it matters: Reduces barrel harmonics and heat drift, keeping your groups tight through a 10-shot string in a PRS stage.
• Three-Lug Bolt with 60-Degree Throw — Why it matters: Faster bolt manipulation means you can cycle and re-engage targets 1.5 seconds quicker than a standard 90-degree action.
• Adjustable Trigger (2.5–4.0 lbs) — Why it matters: Dial in a crisp 2.5-lb break to eliminate trigger-induced flinch, critical for 1,000-yard shots.
• M-LOK Handguard — Why it matters: Mount a bipod, barricade stop, or NV bridge without adding dead weight—keeps the rifle balanced at 6.2 lbs.
• Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24) — Why it matters: Run a suppressor or brake directly without an adapter, reducing recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-ups.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the competition shooter who’s tired of chasing 0.5 MOA with a heavy chassis. The CF Rival XP 2 is built for PRS, NRL Hunter, and long-range steel matches where you’re hiking 5+ miles per stage. It’s also for the reloader who wants to push 7mm PRC to its limits—the 20-inch barrel balances velocity with portability. If you’re a hunter who competes in off-season matches, this dual-role rifle saves you from buying two rigs.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box—verified with factory Hornady 175-grain ELD-X at 100 yards.
• Pro: 6.2 lbs ready-to-hunt weight, shaving 1.5 lbs off a typical steel-barrel 7mm PRC.
• Pro: Bronze Cerakote finish resists corrosion in wet match conditions.
• Con: The 20-inch barrel loses ~100 fps compared to a 24-inch tube at max charge—still enough for 1,200-yard steel, but you’ll need a ballistic calculator for holdovers.

Comparison: Fierce Firearms CF Rival XP 2 vs. Competitors

Feature	Fierce CF Rival XP 2	Christensen Arms MPR	Bergara B14 HMR
Barrel Material	Carbon-fiber wrapped 416R	Carbon-fiber wrapped 416R	Steel (416R)
Weight (lbs)	6.2	6.5	9.2

The Christensen MPR costs $300 more and uses a 70-degree throw—slower on the clock. The Bergara B14 HMR is cheaper but 3 lbs heavier, making it a poor choice for mountain matches. The Fierce splits the difference: light weight with fast cycling, at a price point that undercuts Christensen.

FAQ

What twist rate does the barrel have?

Per Fierce Firearms specs, the 20-inch barrel uses a 1:8 twist, optimized for 168–195 grain bullets in 7mm PRC.

Can I use this rifle for hunting and competition?

Yes—the 6.2-lb weight and 20-inch length make it legal for NRL Hunter divisions and comfortable for backcountry hunts. Just swap the brake for a suppressor if your match allows it.

Does the rifle come with a scope base?

Yes, it includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail, pre-drilled for 8-40 screws. No additional base needed.

What’s the barrel life in 7mm PRC?

Expect 1,500–2,000 rounds before accuracy degrades, depending on your firing schedule. The carbon wrap helps dissipate heat, extending life by ~15% over a bare steel barrel.

Is the trigger user-adjustable without tools?

Yes—the TriggerTech adjustable trigger uses a hex key (included) for pull weight changes from 2.5 to 4.0 lbs.
