Hardwood ridges in the north Georgia mountains, pine plantations in the middle of the state, river swamps and the coastal marsh: Georgia covers a lot of hunting ground. Whitetail and hogs keep a rifle busy almost everywhere in between, and long sits in a box blind or ladder stand are part of the routine.

The Mini Rogue line from Fierce Firearms is built for youth, women and smaller-framed hunters who want a rifle that fits. It pairs a carbon fiber stock with a shorter length of pull and an adjustable comb or cheek piece. Chamberings include 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington and 308 Winchester, with 18 to 22 in barrels and an integral bipod rail for shooting lanes and food plots.

This is the full-size Carbon Rogue rather than a Mini: stainless two-lug action, Bix'n Andy Dakota trigger, Fierce C3 carbon match-grade barrel and a long-range negative-comb stock, about 5.8 lb.

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.

Short arms and a long stock do not mix. When the length of pull fits, a young hunter can hold steady off shooting sticks or a box blind rail without strain. Then adjust the comb so the eye lands behind the scope without searching. Use 22 or 25 Creedmoor for a first season, and graduate to 6.5 Creedmoor when the shooter is ready.

Georgia has no purchase permit and no waiting period. Name the licensed Georgia dealer you want at checkout, in Atlanta, Valdosta, Savannah or anywhere between, and the rifle ships there. The dealer runs the federal background check at pickup. Ammo, optics and parts are sent directly to your address.

Questions buyers ask: Which caliber is best for Georgia deer and hogs? 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 Remington handle both at food-plot and shooting-lane distances with modest recoil. Is there a waiting period to buy a rifle in Georgia? Not in Georgia. The state has no purchase permit and no waiting period, and the dealer runs the federal check when you collect the rifle. What caliber is this Fierce rifle? 7mm Remington Magnum, 3+1 capacity.
