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.

6.5 x 284 Norma

The 6.5-284 Norma originated as a wildcat cartridge based on the .284 Winchester cartridge necked down to 6.5 mm.

The parent case .284 Winchester was created around 1963, but did not see extensive commercial use. The 6.5 caliber allowed for the use of long, aerodynamic bullets. In 1999, Norma submitted it to CIP. It has since been standardized as the 6.5mm-284 Norma.

Suggested Use

  • Predators
  • Small Game
  • Varmint
  • Deer
  • Black Bear

Performance

It has been used extensively in benchrest competitions and is known as an extremely accurate long range round. Using an improved version of the 6.5/284, Rich DeSimone set a 1,000-yard (914.4 m) world record at 1.564-inch (39.73 mm). Rich DeSimone's 1,000-yard (914.4 m) record has been broken by Tom Sarver in 2007 using a .300 Hulk wildcat cartridge that is based on the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. In contrast, most hunting rifles do the same at 100 yards (91.4 m) to 200 yards (182.9 m). A 140 gr (9.1 g) class bullet can be driven safely to 3,000 ft/s (914 m/s). Also, there are many popular hunting bullets for this caliber, making it a good hunting round as well
