Fierce Rival or Bergara Creat Carbon ? Experiences please!!

[lpplayer59]

I have a waypoint 2020 in 300 PRC and love it. But looking at adding a different new rifle. I like the carbon barrels and detachable mags…. Anyone have experiences with the Crest Carbon vs Fierce?

I’m looking at a 6.5 or 7 PRC.

Thanks in advance.

having owned a Fierce I
would not recommend one.

I have a fierce ct rival xp in 7 prc. It shoots great and no complaints. I do wish I would have bought the MTN reaper because I am wanting a folding stock. I am hoping to find a mdt hnt26 for black Friday and solve that want. Also lots of fierce haters on here.

CT roque 6.5 PRC here, no issues at all. The titanium takes alittle getting used to.

Yeah, Fierce generally has a bad rap around this bunch. I have been around 3 of them. I have a CT rival in 300wm. My buddy has one of the older Canadian rifles in the sako(?) clone action in 280 ai and a Carbon rival in 300 RUM. No real problems and all three are shooters that are easy to load for.

I had the Canadian fury also, great rifles. Kind of sorry I sold it. super smooth action.

He ended up finding the fury in a 22" bbl. It's been a hammer with 160s and 140s. His RUM shot the 1st load he threw into it. 200 NABs IIRC.
The major complaint I have seen here with Fierce is the CS . The two times I have talked to them they have been very responsive. The small screw holding the safety lever on the B&A trigger kept working loose. Called to ask if a thing layer of Blue LT would hurt any internals.
2nd call was prior to a trip to BC. Extractor had a rough spot that left a mark on case rim. Read where those extractors had failed. Called them up and a couple days later several spares showed up. Replaced the original and problem solved.
