Fierce Carbon EDGE - 280 Ackley:

The Carbon Edge satisfies the demands of the serious hunter, offering the popular Edge model with a carbon barrel. Carbon offers the advantage of keeping your barrel free from expanding or shrinking in hot or cold conditions, allowing for shot-after-shot accuracy. The carbon bull barrel offers an aesthetic that appeases those looking for a tough, enduring rifle.

The Fierce Edge brings you custom performance and accuracy at a factory rifle price. The new Fierce Edge is truly a game changer in the shooting and hunting sport. You no longer have to overpay for accuracy. The Edge comes with a 1/2-inch group guarantee at 100 yards and a validation target is included with every rifle. Another impressive feature of the Edge is the weight, coming in under six pounds. Fierce offers you a high caliber, long-range performing rifle at half the price of most custom rifles.

Technical System:

  • Three lug, Triad action has a short 70-degree bolt throw
  • The action bolt raceways are wire EDM cut for accuracy
  • Scope base screw holes in the action are for 8-40 screws
  • carbon fiber in a multi-directional pattern to give both strength and stiffness to the barrel
  • All barrels come with a threaded cap and an optional titanium muzzle break can be added
  • The adjustable match-grade, custom trigger is set at 2.75 lbs

Features & Design

  • Hand laid-up carbon fiber/fiberglass stock is not only lightweight but extremely strong
  • Fierces new LastGuard coating is applied to both the action and stainless barrel for a weatherproof finish
  • three-position safety allows you to work the bolt while the rifle remains on safety
  • Certified 3-shot half inch groups at 100 yards with appropriate ammo
  • Additional stock patterns available

280 Remington Ackley Improved

One of P.O. Ackley's earliest wildcats was the 7mm-06 Improved, which was made by necking down the .30-06 Springfield case and fire-forming it to have less body taper and a 40-degree shoulder angle. Soon after the .280 Remington came out, Fred Huntington reformed its case to an improved configuration with minimum body taper, a 35-degree shoulder angle, and called it the .280 RCBS. Since cases for the .280 RCBS could be formed by firing .280 Remington ammo in a rifle chambered for the former, Ackley abandoned the 7mm-06 Improved and started chambering rifles for the .280 RCBS. He then changed the 35-degree shoulder to 40-degrees and the .280 Ackley Improved was born. If barrel length and chamber pressure are equal, the .280 Ackley Improved is about 100 fps faster with all bullet weights than the standard .280 Remington. In 2007, ammunition manufacturer Nosler registered the .280 Ackley Improved with SAAMI and began providing factory loaded ammunition and rifles for it
