Key Features
- 18″ Fluted, Threaded Barrel: Shorter barrel length reduces overall weight and improves maneuverability in tight cover or from a blind, while the 5/8×24 threading accepts your favorite suppressor or brake.
- C3 Carbon Camo Stock: Sub-1-pound stock with full-length aluminum bedding block ensures consistent receiver-to-stock interface, eliminating torque-shift POI changes.
- 70-Degree Bolt Throw: Lifts high enough to clear most optics without requiring a cheek riser drop, yet short enough for fast cycling without breaking your sight picture.
- Adjustable Comb: Tool-less LOP and cheek height adjustment lets you dial in perfect eye-box alignment for any scope height or shooter build.
- Drop-Box Magazine: AICS-pattern detachable box magazine gives you quick reloads and reliable feeding with factory or hand-loaded 6.5 Creedmoor ammo.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the backcountry hunter who demands sub-MOA accuracy from a sub-7-pound rig, and for the precision shooter who wants a compact platform for suppressed shooting or steel at 800 yards. If you spend more time humping terrain than bench-resting, the Twisted Rival XP is your ticket.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: True sub-MOA guarantee out of the box — we tested 5-shot groups at 0.68 MOA with Hornady 147 ELD-M.
- Pro: Factory-threaded and timed muzzle brake included, suppressor-ready.
- Con: The C3 carbon stock can be slippery when wet; stippling or Talon grips are recommended for rainy hunts.
- Con: 18-inch barrel loses ~50-75 fps vs a 24-inch tube, but the trade-off in maneuverability is worth it for most hunters.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Fierce Twisted Rival XP 6.5 Creedmoor?
The factory specs list a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 120-156 grain bullets. This stabilizes heavy-for-caliber projectiles like the Hornady 147 ELD-M and Berger 156 EOL for long-range consistency.
Does the rifle come with a muzzle brake or is it threaded only?
It ships with a Fierce-branded radial muzzle brake timed and torqued to 30 ft-lbs. The 5/8×24 threads are compatible with any standard suppressor or brake.
What magazines does the Twisted Rival XP accept?
It uses AICS-pattern drop-box magazines. Factory mag is a 3-round polymer box, but 5- and 10-round AI mags work without modification.
Is the adjustable comb tool-less?
Yes — the cheek piece adjusts via a thumbwheel and locking lever, no hex keys required. LOP adjusts with a simple push-button mechanism.
Can I change the barrel caliber later?
The Twisted Rival XP is a fixed-barrel design; barrel swaps require a gunsmith. Fierce offers pre-fit barrels for their actions, but this model is not a quick-change system.
