Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival: Precision Meets Lightweight Performance

The Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival Black Cerakote Blackout Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 PRC is engineered to deliver championship-level accuracy and durability in a lightweight, tactical package. Built on a rugged stainless steel action and wrapped in a carbon fiber barrel, the Carbon Rival weighs just 6.3 lbs and offers unmatched handling for long-range shooting and hunting applications. Featuring a factory-applied Cerakote Blackout finish, this rifle stands up to the toughest environmental conditions while maintaining a stealthy profile in the field.

Ultimate Accuracy Guarantee

Every Fierce centerfire rifle comes with the company’s flagship .50 MOA guarantee when paired with recommended ammunition. The Carbon Rival’s 24″ carbon fiber barrel is cut to a 1:8″ twist rate, perfectly optimized for stabilizing modern 6.5 PRC projectiles. From precision bench-rest targets to challenging mountain hunts, you can trust the Carbon Rival to deliver consistent, sub-MOA groups—round after round.

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel

The hallmark of the Carbon Rival platform is its proprietary carbon fiber barrel. By wrapping a precision stainless steel core in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, Fierce Firearms achieves a dramatic weight reduction without sacrificing rigidity. Shooters experience reduced barrel whip and superior heat dissipation, even during extended strings of fire. This advanced barrel construction system ensures your point of impact remains consistent, shot after shot.

Durable Cerakote Finish

Fierce Firearms applies a premium Cerakote Blackout finish to every Carbon Rival action and chassis. This industry-leading coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and wear protection. Whether you’re slogging through wet brush, operating in dusty desert conditions, or exposing your rifle to salt-spray coastal breezes, the Cerakote Blackout finish protects vulnerable metal surfaces and keeps your rifle looking as good as it performs.

Ergonomic Chassis and Stock Design

The Carbon Rival features a full-chassis design with an ergonomic grip and adjustable length of pull. Right-hand shooters will appreciate the sculpted grip angle, soft-touch pistol grip texture, and ambidextrous safety selector. The forend is fluted and equipped with M-LOK slots for accessory attachment—perfect for bipods, sling mounts, and rail sections. The adjustable stock assembly allows shooters to fine-tune their fit, enhancing cheek weld and sight alignment in any shooting position.

Bolt Action Reliability

Underneath the Carbon Rival chassis lies a precision machined bolt action with a smooth, two-lug design for positive lockup and reliable feeding. The bolt handle is oversized and knurled, offering a secure grasp even when wearing gloves. With full-length guide rails, the bolt cycles with minimal friction, reducing shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions or fast follow-up shots in dynamic hunting scenarios.

Chambered in 6.5 PRC

The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) offers optimal sectional density and high ballistic coefficients, making it a top choice for long-range hunters and precision shooters. The Carbon Rival’s chamber is cut to SAAMI specs and hand-lapped for smooth feeding and ejection. Whether you’re engaging steel targets at 1,000 yards or taking ethically governed game animals beyond 600 yards, the 6.5 PRC in this rifle delivers flat trajectories, low recoil impulse, and brutal terminal performance.

Modularity and Accessory Compatibility

Fierce designed the Carbon Rival with modularity in mind. The chassis accepts AR-style grips, and the Picatinny rail on the action allows for a wide range of optic mounts. The free-float carbon fiber barrel ensures no external pressure points compromise accuracy, and M-LOK slots on the forend facilitate custom accessory layouts. From night-vision mounts to rangefinders, this rifle adapts to your mission requirements.

Made in the USA

Every component on the Fierce Firearms Carbon Rival is proudly manufactured or sourced in the USA. Fierce Firearms takes great pride in its American heritage, employing skilled machinists and technicians to assemble, finish, and quality-control each rifle before it leaves the factory. Your Carbon Rival represents the finest combination of domestic craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation.

Maintenance and Care

Maintaining your Carbon Rival is straightforward. Regularly clean the bore with a high-quality bore solvent and brush, then apply a light coat of gun oil to metal surfaces. The carbon fiber barrel requires no special treatment—just ensure you do not overheat or apply harsh solvents to the composite wrap. Store your rifle in a dry, secure location, and periodically check torque settings on the action screws and stock hardware.

Applications: Hunting, Competition, Tactical

Whether you’re pursuing elk in the high country, competing in precision rifle matches, or equipping a tactical team with a lightweight sniper platform, the Carbon Rival excels across multiple disciplines. The sub-MOA accuracy, carbon fiber weight savings, and robust Cerakote finish make it a versatile tool for serious shooters.
