Titanium-actioned and carbon-barreled at just 5.4 pounds bare, the Wingman brings full-size precision to a 12.5-inch package, arriving as the $0 federal transfer tax makes short-barreled rifles more accessible than ever.
REDMOND, Utah — August 10, 2026 — Fierce Firearms today announced the launch of the Wingman SBR, a short-barreled precision rifle chambered in 22 Creedmoor, 25 Creedmoor, and 6.5 Creedmoor. Built on the company’s CT Mini Rogue platform with a titanium action and a 12.5-inch carbon-fiber barrel, the Wingman weighs just 5.4 pounds bare — a genuine precision rifle compact enough to ride under a truck seat, behind a UTV seat, or in a pack, and shoot when it comes out.
Built for the hunter and shooter who wants precision without a full-size footprint, the Wingman’s light weight and compact length suit it naturally to varmint and predator work: the fast-handling, move-often, grab-it-quick shooting where a full-size rifle is a burden. In 22 Creedmoor with a purpose-built varmint bullet, it is a dedicated small-game and varmint rifle; in 25 Creedmoor, it crosses over to predators and deer-sized game alike; and in 6.5 Creedmoor, it runs as a precise match and varmint rifle on the most widely available factory ammunition in the segment. At a suggested retail of $2,995, it undercuts comparable offerings in a lighter, shorter package.
“We built the Wingman to be the one rifle that’s always with you—in the truck, in the blind, in your pack. It’s short enough to stow anywhere and never gets in the way, but it doesn’t give up performance to get there. That’s what makes it your wingman,” said John Mogle, CEO of Fierce Firearms.
The launch arrives at a turning point for the category. As of January 1, 2026, the federal transfer tax on short-barreled rifles was reduced from $200 to $0. Electronic Form 4 transfers filed by individuals are currently being approved in a matter of days rather than the months the process historically required. The NFA registration process, including the required background check and approval before transfer, remains fully in place; what has changed is that the $200 tax that accompanied it for decades is now $0. Between the reduced transfer tax and dramatically shortened approval times, an SBR is more accessible to the law-abiding buyer today than at nearly any point since the National Firearms Act took effect in 1934.

In Fierce testing with DirtNap Ammunition (the company’s in-house load line, developed and validated for the Wingman), the three chamberings delivered muzzle velocities, all from the 12.5-inch barrel, of 2,810 fps in 22 Creedmoor (62-grain Hornady ELD-VT), 2,725 fps in 25 Creedmoor (110-grain Nosler AccuBond), and 2,500 fps in 6.5 Creedmoor (120-grain Hornady ELD-M). In 25 Creedmoor, the load retains sufficient velocity and energy for effective terminal performance on deer-sized game to 400 yards.
