Lever guns and six-guns are what this catalog is known for, and a brush gun in 30-30 or 45-70 still rules the timber. When a hunt moves to open country, pronghorn flats or a far ridge across a canyon, a scoped bolt rifle with a light carbon stock picks up where the lever gun leaves off.

Fierce Firearms builds the Mini Rogue family for youth, women and smaller-framed hunters. Each one has a carbon fiber stock, a shorter length of pull and an adjustable comb, with a Fierce dual-lug action and an adjustable trigger. Chamberings include 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington and 308 Winchester, which suit everything from Texas and Oklahoma plains to Wyoming high country.

6.5 PRC takes the 6.5 mm bullet faster than the Creedmoor for more reach on elk and mule deer, at the cost of a little more recoil. 6.5 PRC recoils more than the Creedmoors; for a first season most young hunters do better with 6.5 Creedmoor.

Carbon Mini Rogue XP means a C3 carbon fiber barrel on the Fierce dual-lug action, a TriggerTech Primary ProCurve trigger and an improved integral adjustable comb.

This rifle has a 20 in barrel. Finish: Smoked Bronze / Sonora Ambush Camo Adj C.

Lever-gun shooters are used to a low comb and iron sights, so a scoped bolt rifle feels different at first. Raise the comb until the eye sits on the scope's centerline without lifting the head. Check length of pull with a coat on, because a short, light rifle is easier for a young or smaller shooter to mount. For a first season, 25 or 6.5 Creedmoor beats a 308.

Rifles ship to FFL dealers nationwide, and your dealer applies your state's law at pickup. Choose the dealer near you at checkout. If you already have a lever gun on order, the bolt rifle can go to the same dealer. Price and availability are confirmed when you order, before you pay.

Questions buyers ask: Why add a bolt rifle if I hunt with a lever gun? A lever gun is fast in the timber, but a scoped 6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 reaches farther across open ground. Which Mini Rogue suits a young hunter moving up from a 22 lever gun? A 6mm or 6.5 Creedmoor keeps recoil mild while the shooter learns to use a scope. What caliber is this Fierce rifle? 6.5 PRC.
