Across all 254 counties, Texas hunters chase whitetail in the brush country, hogs in the Piney Woods and pronghorn on the high plains of the Panhandle. A rifle that is light and fits well makes all of that easier, especially for a young or smaller hunter. That is what the Fierce Mini Rogue family is built for, with youth, women and smaller-framed shooters in mind.

Every Mini Rogue has a carbon fiber stock, a shorter length of pull and an adjustable comb or push-button cheek piece. The XP, Mini Rogue 2 and CT models add C3 carbon fiber barrels, and the CT Mini Rogue XP weighs around 6 lb. 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 Remington handle Texas deer and hogs, and 6.5 PRC reaches out across open country.

Fierce's Carbon Rogue keeps the weight near 5.8 lb with a carbon stock and C3 carbon barrel on a stainless two-lug action; the stock has a negative comb for long-range shooting.

7mm Remington Magnum is a long-reaching big-game magnum for elk, moose and open-country deer; expect noticeably more recoil than the short-action rounds. Be honest with yourself about recoil: a magnum in a light rifle kicks. It is a rifle for experienced adult hunters, not a first rifle.

This rifle has a 22 in threaded barrel, 3+1 capacity, and weighs about 5.8 lb. Finish: Sonora Ambush Camo.

Many Texas kids shoot their first deer from a box blind, resting the rifle on a window ledge. A short length of pull lets them sit up straight instead of stretching to reach the trigger. Set the comb height so the eye is centered on the scope from that seated position. Begin with 6mm or 25 Creedmoor for a first whitetail, then move up to 308 later.
