    Fierce Rifles

    Just when you think there aren't to many rifle brands you haven't heard of, one pops up
    Got handed a "Fierce"308 this morning that a gunsmith mate of mine had shortened and suppressed. This thing looked like Mrs Sako and Mr Remington had had a one night stand. Looks like a Remington receiver and a Sako magazine and floor plate assembly. Shortened to 18 inches and certainly felt pretty good to handle.

    Gun city brought a pile in a year ago . Seen a carbon barreled one was quite nice.

    I almost got one last year in 338 lapua but chickened out last minute, could justify the coin plus the dies etc.
    Nice looking rig with all the trick ti and carbon bits for a factory rifle much like the Christensen Arms. Too good for me I would treat it like a Sako or tikka work horse and just scratch it every trip and put to many rounds through it.

    My brother has one, for me a $6,000 rifle that neither feels better nor shoots animals deader than my $1500 A7. Then again i prefer wood if I'm paying good money. Even then after a point you're paying for aesthetics.

    Aesthetics is sometimes worth the cost, if it's all done by hand. i.e engraving or carving. It might be hard to justify, but man hours cost $.

    Yea guncity are the only ones doing them in NZ at the moment. They do a cheaper one that has a fluted stainless barrel rather than the carbon which looks alright
