Nosler

If a guy wanted to buy a 33 Nosler that was available to purchase now What would you all say about the fierce edge ?

Scratch that itch...

From what I am reading on the forums you might want to check availability of loaded ammo and/or brass of their current offerings before scratching that itch. I do not own a Nosler caliber. Just for information.

I have a Fierce Edge in 33 Nosler and it has become my favorite rifle, even over my Cooper backcountry (except for the weight). The cartridge itself is devastating on animals (moose, caribou and black bear so far) and the rifle is great all around in fit and finish, accuracy and design. It checked all the blocks for what I wanted in a moose/brown bear gun. Smooth 3 lug bolt that locks shut, controlled round feed (sort of), #8 screws for scope bases, comfortable stock, hard hitting caliber but still relatively comfortable to shoot and of course accurate. I like it enough that I might be getting a CT Edge in a different chambering to be my new mountain hunting rifle. Brass is stupid expensive for the 33 but it still is one of the cheapest parts of a hunt in the grand scheme of things and it's reusable so. Plus Hornady is making it now too and hopefully others will start making it to bring the price down.

The Nosler M48 rifles shoot extremely well, and they cost much less than the Fierce rifles.

Nosler m48 actions are very short (3.4 magazine length) in comparison to other long actions (700 and it’s clones at least 3.6) To make the most out of the 33 you’ll need to load the bullet out farther than will fit in the mag. I have a custom 700 in 33 with a COAL of 3.567 and pushes 250 elite hunters at low 2800’s.
