Opportunity to buy a Fierce rifle in a caliber that I already am set up to load for. Wondering how solid these rifles are. I am not familiar with them and have never handled one.
I have been around a few of the lower end model Fierce rifle's and those were based on a slightly modified Sako 85 action (which I am not a fan) they were accurate but not "tack drivers " like Fierce advertises, mostly hovering around MOA ...This new for 2023 Rogue model is a whole other animal as it seems to be based on a modified two lug Model 700 action (which I am a fan) I would have liked to have seen the bolt face as Jim never mentioned the type of extractor/ejector this rifle has but it is definitely a push feed rifle and does not "grab" the cartridge like he explained in the video. I dont like the way the sling mounts are made with a qd mount hole on the side of the buttstock, whats wrong with conventional sling studs? This qd system will greatly reduce your sling options, And the selection of chamberings is pretty limited as in other Fierce models. I might try a Rogue if they offered it chambered in 30-06 (they dont) im not a big cartridge of the month guy like Fierce seems to be catering too.....Good luck...Hb
They are accurate if you do your part. There are reports of some that have problems with their carbon fiber stocks and bedding. I have two and they are both accurate. I would put them on the same plane as the Nosler 48s platform. Most are submoa but some aren't. My two are a fury in 300 RUM and a Ti-grey edge in 28 Nosler. The Nosler is the more accurate of the two.
This was 10 years ago, but my buddy bought two. Wanted me to get them shooting. Both in 300WSM. Neither would Crack 1.5 MOA with any factory ammo and rare was the 1 MOA group with handloads. They Had a little bitty target included. When pressed, they said they used Trophy Copper to shoot the test group. We could never find any to try They wouldn't shoot Bergers so down the road they went. Looked like CA knock-offs.
I had a Fierce Edge in 280 Ackley. It was accurate, not as accurate as my Coopers, but stayed in .75 or so with factory and hand loaded ammo. The trigger was very good. I had a problem with it jamming. It was heavy and didn’t balance well.
I have never owned a Fierce rifle, I only have been to the range with a couple friends that HAD them (no longer) but it sounds like their CS is total chit!....Hb

........I do not own one either but have been on their site many times just to check out things....In their currently for sale inventory section with scopes already installed on the rifles, some of the 3 or more shot targets I see are quite good. Imo these rifles are well built and solid. No reason to believe otherwise for now.
An unsatisfied customer tells 10, a satisfied customer may not tell anyone
An outfitter friend has a Fierce in .300 RUM and shoots factory ammo. It shoots great and under MOA. He has it suppressed
I was impressed
.........Agree here. Every rifle is its own individual. Setting aside full customs built jobs, there are great shooters, reasonably good shooters and not so good shooting rifles with just about every manufacturer.
I purchased a Fierce CT Rival last summer in 280 AI. Hand loads are 175gn ABLR leaving muzzle at 2790. Shoots under 1/2” three shot groups at 100 yds. Killed 2 whitetails, 1 mule deer, 4 ferel hogs and 7 coyotes with it so far. Longest shot was 491 yds on a whitetail. It’s topped with a Leupold VX5 HD 3-15x44 optic. Weighs in at 7# 2oz. Very pleased with the rifle. Mine groups better without the factory break.
I purchased a Fierce Fury (20" steel barrel) in 7mm-08 last February. I have been very happy with it as it's accurate and in my opinion well balanced. Though definitely not as light as my Kimber Montana in 6.5cm I find myself using the Fierce considerably more. I had very good communication throughout the buying process with them as they were polite and answered my many questions.
I have had a fierce edge in 300 wm for 4 years. Fierce recommended federal trophy tip 180 gr as this is what they shot the test target with.. The rifle has outshot the test target it came with consistently, 3 bullets are usually touching at 100 meters.. I simply am incapable of shooting better. Last year, I broke a firing pin, dry firing it. They replaced it immediately. I am in canada , so getting gun parts isn't easy, they took care of everything. I find it a little heavy , I have a lieca scope on it, in metal talley mounts, at 61 the mountains are getting taller. That being said, the rifle is easy to shoot from all positions and settles right down. It is the right wieght for a 300 wm. I have taken 3 wt and a muley with it. It has become my primary elk rifle.
I am pleased with the rifle and have been treated well when I had a problem.
He is a lawyer and loves guns. As most do, they like to be the center of attention and is not in need of any money. His YT channel is not bad. He is way better than a lot of the homers on YT. He tests a lot of things and not always in a nice way. Lately though, the commercials are a PITA and stupid.
