Here's my review of the Fierce Twisted Rival. I was so excited to get this gun! But unfortunately it's turned out to have been a real headache. After 9 months and hundreds of $$, I did finally get it to shoot straight but there's a real caveat that comes with that. I would never take it hunting!
That said, even though it's been frustrating that this gun has been a disappointment, I learned a lot as I tested it every way that I could think of.
Let me know what you think!
Fierce eventually asked me to send the rifle back to them to see if it was outofspec. I knew what that meant: I would have to pay for shipping and for their time if it passed all of their tests. I didn't want to do that without some assurances, since the rifle had already passed those tests, and I could also get it to pass those tests. We went back and forth. I asked them to agree not to charge me anything and to adjust their tests to account for what I had identified. They said they wouldn't do that. So, I'm stuck with this rifle. Bummer.
