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.

The Carbon Rogue is built for adult shooters who want a light magnum: C3 carbon barrel, stainless two-lug action, spiral-fluted bolt and an adjustable Bix'n Andy Dakota trigger.

7mm Remington Magnum is a long-reaching big-game magnum for elk, moose and open-country deer; expect noticeably more recoil than the short-action rounds. Be honest with yourself about recoil: a magnum in a light rifle kicks. It is a rifle for experienced adult hunters, not a first rifle.

This rifle has a 22 in threaded barrel, 3+1 capacity, and weighs about 5.8 lb. Finish: Sonora Ambush Camo.

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? 7mm Remington Magnum, 3+1 capacity.
