Featherweight in the pack, heavyweight on performance. The FIERCE Carbon Rival XP chambered in 6.5 PRC with a compact 20-inch barrel and rugged MBTR field finish is engineered for hunters who demand a mountain-ready rifle that still delivers long-range consistency.

Why Choose the Carbon Rival XP in 6.5 PRC (20")
Modern 6.5 PRC ballistics: Optimized for long, high-BC 6.5mm bullets that fly flat, buck wind, and maintain ethical energy on deer, pronghorn, and elk (with suitable bullets and within verified distances).
20" precision barrel: Prioritizes maneuverability and suppressed balance without abandoning practical velocity—ideal for timbered draws, scabbards, side-by-sides, and steep sidehills.
Carbon-barrel advantage: Carbon wrapping combines stiffness and heat management with notable weight savings, helping maintain accuracy over practical shot strings.
XP ergonomic refinement: A hunt-ready stock geometry and clean-breaking precision trigger promote a natural point of aim and a tighter, more consistent press.
MBTR field finish: Durable, low-glare coating that shrugs off brush and weather while blending into alpine rock, timber shadow, and open sage.
Field-Driven Control & Comfort
Hunt-ready stock geometry: Neutral wrist angle and a repeatable cheek weld keep your sight picture stable from bipods, tripods, packs, or prone.
Trigger you can trust: The crisp break reduces shooter input at the shot—tightening groups and helping you spot impacts for immediate, data-driven corrections.
Intuitive handling: Smooth bolt lift, positive safety, and reliable feeding support fast manipulations when your shot window is measured in seconds.
Real-World Performance, Not Just Paper
Shorter barrels shine where hunts actually happen. The 20-inch tube keeps overall length compact—especially with a suppressor or brake (verify threading on your exact rifle)—while preserving the solver-trustworthy velocities the 6.5 PRC is known for. Pair it with high-BC 6.5mm bullets and the Carbon Rival XP delivers straight recoil tracking, predictable wind holds, and cold-bore consistency across temperatures and density altitudes.
Optics & Accessory Ready
The receiver footprint is built for dialing scopes with generous elevation travel. The forend interfaces smoothly with bipods, tripods, and Arca-style accessories, helping you stabilize quickly on off-camber terrain. Match with a durable FFP 3–18x or 4–16x optic, confirm zero, and true your ballistic solver at your local density altitude—then watch your data translate into hits.
What This Rifle Excels At
Deer, Pronghorn & Elk in Open Country: High-BC 6.5 bullets plus PRC speed yield predictable holds and ethical terminal performance at verified distances.
Backcountry Versatility: Carbon construction keeps ounces off your shoulders; the 20" length preserves handling in brush while remaining composed with a suppressor.
Crossover Precision: A hunt-weight platform that behaves on steel—so your off-season reps translate directly to results when tags are on the line.
