Fierce firearms: the Fury model??

Anyone tried one out??

I don't have feedback specifically on the Fury model but can tell you a little about the edge model (300WM). I bought the edge (non carbon barrel) almost 2 years ago around when they were first starting. I figured I would try it as it was about half the price of some custom rifles and looked interesting. I reload specially focused on longer ranges so can't comment on factory ammo. Initially I had a couple issues: extractor wasn't fully ejecting cases and bipod stud busted out from pressure of preloading. The extractor issue is due to the known issues of a sako action (what this action was based off of). I called up fierce and dealt mostly with Court who was really great to deal with. They had me send the rifle in so they could fix it. This was in March 2015. They said the extractor issue had been fixed on newer models and replaced mine. They also added a reinforced bipod stud in a new stock for me. All of this was free of charge. Once I got the rifle back, I worked up a load with 210 Berger VLDs that was ~0.5-0.6MOA consistently with an ES of 15, MV of ~2900fps. Didn't do a ton of testing with other bullets so probably could have been better. I had been meaning to switch to 215 Bergers but I've used 210s in my 300 wins for a while so just used that for last year. Was fairly impressed with accuracy for that price. Weight of rifle was as advertised as well: think the scale was around 7.05lbs for just rifle. I ended up taking it to Wyoming last fall and took a muley at 756 and an elk at 600. The rifle performed well. Since the end of the season, I've developed a load with 215 Bergers that will shoot 0.3-0.4MOA with an ES of 10. I'll be sticking with that load.

All stats are shooting rifle prone with bipod and rear bag only. I'm not associated with fierce in anyway. Here are some pictures:

They are decent guns for the price for sure. I know Courtney and John and they put a lot of effort into CS. The extractor on one I've worked with was on the short side, and the magazine fed very poorly (300 WSM). Both issues have been solved since. On the other rifle (early model with Defiance action), two problems were encountered. First, the gun came with the wrong barrel (length and contour). Next, the stock cracked. Both issues took a year each to resolve, for a customer that lives in the same town as the business is located. It shoots great (well under MOA in 338 lapua). Another friend of mine just picked up a carbon barreled one, we'll see how it goes. Took over a year to get the gun after it was ordered.
