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 |
| Bolt Throw | 60 degrees | 70 degrees | 90 degrees |
| Trigger Pull (lbs) | 2.5–4.0 adjustable | 2.5–3.5 adjustable | 3.0–4.0 adjustable |
| Price (MSRP) | $2,699 | $2,999 | $1,199 |
| Sub-MOA Guarantee | Yes (factory) | Yes (factory) | No (0.75 MOA typical) |
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.
