Deer season in Arkansas can mean a climbing stand in the Delta river bottoms one weekend and a long hike up an Ozark hollow the next. Smaller hunters and kids feel every extra pound on those walks, so Fierce Firearms built the Mini Rogue rifles light, short and adjustable.

Each rifle in the family uses a carbon fiber stock with a shorter length of pull and a comb or cheek piece that moves to fit the shooter. It is made for youth, women and smaller-framed hunters who want a real hunting rifle, not a cut-down toy. Stainless or titanium dual-lug actions and adjustable triggers give clean, repeatable shots. For whitetail in the timber, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 are easy-shooting choices, and 308 is there for a hunter ready to step up toward bear in the big timber.

Under the carbon stock sits Fierce's stainless steel dual-lug action with a 70-degree bolt throw and a spiral-fluted bolt. The trigger is a Bix'n Andy Dakota, adjustable, and the barrel is match grade and hand lapped.

6.5 Creedmoor is one of the most popular hunting and target cartridges in the country: mild recoil, good long-range accuracy and ammunition you can find almost anywhere.

This rifle has a 20 in barrel, 4+1 capacity, and weighs about 5.8 lb. Finish: Purple Camo.

A kid in a box blind over a bean field needs to get the rifle up quietly and look straight through the glass. That only happens when the length of pull matches arm length and the comb holds the eye in line with the scope. Adjust both before the season, at the bench. Keep the first rifle mild, like 6.5 Creedmoor, and save 308 for later.

Arkansas has no permit to purchase and no waiting period. Your rifle ships to the Arkansas dealer you choose, from Conway and Little Rock to Batesville or Stuttgart. The dealer runs the background check at pickup and you leave with the gun. Ammo, steel shot and gear ship to your door. Price and stock are confirmed live before you pay.
