FIERCE RIVAL FP CRB — 6.8 Western, 22" Barrel, MBTR Finish (FCRFP68WES22MM | UPC 853418928653)
When big country and fickle winds demand a modern hunting rifle with real reach, the FIERCE RIVAL FP CRB in 6.8 Western with a 22-inch barrel delivers. This configuration pairs the smooth, precise RIVAL FP action with a cartridge engineered for heavy, high-BC .277-caliber bullets—and wraps it in a rugged MBTR field finish that shrugs off hard seasons. Compact enough to carry all day, yet disciplined enough for long-range precision, this rifle is built for hunters who measure success in first-shot hits.
What Makes This RIVAL FP CRB Stand Out
6.8 Western authority: Purpose-built to run long, heavy-for-caliber bullets for flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and confident terminal performance on elk-sized game—within your verified capabilities.
22" mountain-balanced barrel: Keeps overall length and weight in check (especially if you add a suppressor) while maintaining consistent velocities for dependable dope across temperatures and elevations.
RIVAL FP precision action: Machined for buttery cycling, solid lock-up, and positive extraction, the foundation of reliable accuracy in real weather and real terrain.
MBTR field finish: A low-glare, abrasion-resistant finish that blends into natural backdrops and stands up to brush, straps, and travel abuse.
Field-Driven Ergonomics & Control
Hunt-ready stock geometry promotes a repeatable cheek weld and neutral wrist angle for stability off a bipod, tripod, pack, or prone.
Clean-breaking precision trigger reduces shooter input at the moment of truth, translating to tighter groups and better follow-through.
Intuitive controls—sure bolt lift, positive safety, smooth feeding—support fast, decisive operation when the shot window is closing.
Long-Range Confidence, Real-World Practicality
The 6.8 Western excels with modern high-BC bullets, giving you reliable holds when the wind tugs at your reticle. Coupled with the RIVAL FP platform’s repeatability, the result is a rifle that tracks straight in recoil, lets you spot impacts, and makes data-driven corrections second nature. From zeroing day to last light on a steep sidehill, performance feels predictable—and that predictability builds confidence.
