Discover how this custom Fierce CT Rival setup delivers balance, accuracy, and versatility for South African hunters.
At Patriot Outdoors, we love showcasing standout rifles that combine performance and practicality. This month’s build is a Fierce CT Rival in a Masterpiece Arms (MPA) Ultralight Chassis, tailored for hunters who want precision without unnecessary weight.
With hunting season around the corner, this rifle offers the perfect balance of power, accuracy, and portability.
Key Features of the Fierce CT Rival Build
Barrel and Muzzle Device
This build uses a 24-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel with a titanium hand-lapped liner. The barrel design reduces weight while maintaining rigidity for consistent accuracy. At the front, a Gun Warrior medium silencer with an integrated muzzle brake adds recoil control and reduces noise — ideal for the hunting field.
Titanium Action
The heart of the rifle is the Fierce CT Rival action, built from titanium. This feature alone makes the rifle significantly lighter than traditional steel actions, allowing hunters to cover more ground without fatigue. Despite being light, the action is strong, smooth, and built to withstand repeated use.
MPA Ultralight Chassis
The MPA Ultralight chassis is where versatility shines. It includes:
- ARCA rail at the front for tripod or rest compatibility
- Picatinny mount for accessories
- AR-15 style grip for ergonomic handling
- Adjustable length of pull and cheekpiece for a custom fit
- Textured cheek rest for comfort and stability during long sessions
This chassis is a top choice among hunters and shooters who demand adjustability and modularity without added bulk.
Trigger and Optics
The rifle features a Bix’n Andy Dakota trigger, fine-tuned to a crisp 1.8 lbs for clean, predictable shots. On top, the build carries an Element Optics Nexus Gen I scope (5–20x magnification, 50mm objective, 30mm tube). This optic is known for its clarity and precision, making it suitable for both close and long-range hunting scenarios.
Why This Rifle Stands Out
The Fierce CT Rival with MPA chassis is more than just a lightweight hunting rifle.
It offers:
- Reduced recoil thanks to the barrel and silencer combination
- Custom fit with a fully adjustable chassis
- Lightweight design for walk-and-stalk hunts
- Versatility that allows it to double as a long-range rifle when needed
While primarily designed as a hunting rig, its balance and precision make it capable of target shooting or informal long-range sessions. It’s not built for high-volume competition, but it thrives in real-world hunting conditions where every shot counts.
Conclusion
This month’s custom Fierce CT Rival in an MPA chassis represents what modern hunting rifles should be: lightweight, versatile, and precise. For South African hunters, it’s a rig that promises excellent field performance while remaining comfortable enough for extended use.
