Big-game authority with true mountain-rifle manners. The FIERCE Carbon Rival XP chambered in 6.8 Western marries long-range performance with a lightweight, packable platform.

Why Choose the Carbon Rival XP in 6.8 Western (24")
Modern .277 performance: The 6.8 Western was designed around heavy, high-BC .277-caliber bullets for flat trajectories, predictable wind drift, and credible terminal energy—ideal for elk, mule deer, and black bear at verified distances.
Carbon-wrapped advantage: A carbon barrel combines stiffness, heat management, and significant weight savings over heavy-contour steel, maintaining point of impact over practical shot strings without punishing your shoulder on the hike.
24" precision length: Preserves solver-trustworthy velocity for consistent dope and tighter vertical spread across changing temperatures and density altitude.
XP ergonomics & trigger: A neutral wrist angle, repeatable cheek weld, and a clean-breaking precision trigger help you settle the reticle quickly and call shots cleanly from bipods, tripods, packs, or prone.
BLDR low-glare finish: Durable, field-ready colorway that shrugs off brush, straps, and weather while blending into alpine rock and timber shade.
Real-World Field Performance
In open, wind-prone country, the 6.8 Western + 24" combination shines. Heavy-for-caliber .277 bullets carry energy and buck wind, while the Carbon Rival XP’s consistent mechanics produce linear recoil tracking, repeatable cold-bore behavior, and stable wind holds. Add a suppressor or brake (verify thread pitch and legality) and the rifle becomes even more composed with calmer sight pictures and quicker follow-ups.
Built for Today’s Optics & Accessories
Dialing-friendly receiver: Pairs naturally with FFP 4–16x, 3–18x, or 5–25x optics offering generous elevation travel and tactile turrets.
Forend versatility: Interfaces cleanly with bipods, tripods, and Arca-style accessories so you can lock in fast on off-camber terrain and natural rests.
Data-driven confidence: Zero carefully, confirm at distance, then true your ballistic solver at your local density altitude—so your holds match your hits on steel and on game.
Where This 6.8 Western Rifle Excels
Elk & Mule Deer: Long, sleek .277 bullets deliver predictable holds and serious terminal performance at verified ranges.
Backcountry & Timber: The lightweight carbon barrel and balanced stock keep the rifle nimble for long climbs and tight cover.
Crossover precision: Hunt-weight handling that behaves on steel—so off-season reps translate directly to in-season success.
