Fierce Edge - 280 Ackley Improved - Carbon Forest - ODG Cerakote :

The Fierce Edge rifle is the ultimate long range rifle that delivers .50 MOA accuracy out of the box. Fierce not only guarantees it; they certify it with a range tested target. The target not only proves the three shot group under a half inch at 100 yards but also provides the load data to achieve that accuracy. There is no other rifle on the market the gives you this custom rifle service and high performing quality product for this price. The Edge rifle came about from over 40 years of gunsmith and machining experience combined with the best design features and high-tech materials available. Their three lug Triad action is wire EDM cut for the tightest tolerances available. The one-piece bolt is machined on Fierces nine-axis CNC machine.

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
  • Fierces stainless steel, fluted match-grade barrels are hand-lapped for ultimate accuracy
  • 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
  • Each bolt is coated with a DLC (diamond like coating) that simply will not wear off with bolt wear
  • 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



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
