Other than it will likely be one of my next rifles.....NO!!  The Weatherby 307 alpine CT sure looks like a sweet rifle.  Reviews look very promising too.

Not hard to find horror stories with Fierce. I sure wouldn't buy one.

Assuming they're legit horror stories.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire…and there is a lot of smoke in that thread alone, not to mention dozens of others.
Guess all 3 of us got unicorns then.  :dunno:

I'm sure they make some nice rifles. Just sharing some info on other people's experiences with the company...poor QC and extremely poor C/S seems to be a popular sentiment.

I open the bolt and look down the barrel and the gun had NO rifling...I call Fierce and have a somewhat heated discussion with John Mogle (owner) and at one point he laughs and says get a lawyer and have fun...

Not hard to imagine Mogle saying that if you read more about him.

As posted above this was a issue 3 years ago. They have corrected there CS and quality control issues the last year or so. No matter which gun maker you choose there’s always a risk for potential issues. The Weatherby Ti would be my choice of a new light weight rifle.

I have a Carbon Rival in 280AI, purchased in Jan 2023 and it shoots great!  It was the model right before they switched to the XP and FP, didn't really like the floor plate, now have it in an XLR element 4.0 mg chassis.  Have never owned or shot a Bergara yet.
