Overview
The Fierce Firearms Carbon Rage is a premium ultralight carbon-fiber bolt-action hunting rifle from the Utah-based maker Fierce Firearms. It pairs a match-grade Fierce C3 carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel with a hand-lapped barrel liner and a Triad three-lug stainless-steel action featuring a 70-degree bolt throw and spiral-fluted bolt. The carbon-fiber Fierce Tech C3 Monte Carlo stock, Cerakote metalwork, radial muzzle brake, and Bix'N Andy adjustable trigger combine for a sub-half-MOA accuracy guarantee in a package weighing around 6.3 lb, making it well suited to mountain hunting and extended-range shooting. The primary chambering reviewed here is the hard-hitting 6.5 PRC, with a 24-inch barrel and 1:8 twist.

Notes
Weight and barrel length vary by configuration; short-action models with a 22-inch barrel weigh about 6.3 lb and long-action models slightly more. The 6.5 PRC variant uses a 24-inch, 1:8-twist, threaded carbon-fiber barrel feeding from a detachable box magazine (commonly listed as 3+1 or 4+1 depending on caliber). The base Carbon Rage uses a Bix'N Andy trigger; the Carbon Rage LR uses a TriggerTech Primary trigger and a NIX brake. Effective and maximum ranges left null as the manufacturer publishes a sub-0.5-MOA accuracy guarantee rather than range figures.
Background
Fierce Firearms is a relatively new American rifle maker based in Gunnison, Utah, that built its reputation on lightweight carbon-fiber-barreled precision hunting rifles backed by sub-half-MOA accuracy guarantees.
