Across Indiana, from the hills around Brown County to the flat farm ground up north, hunters spend November in tree stands over cut corn and hardwood edges. Indiana deer rules are specific about rifle cartridges, so check the DNR guide before you choose a caliber for a home-state hunt.

Fierce Firearms built the Mini Rogue family for youth, women and smaller-framed hunters, and it also makes a fine coyote and range rifle. The stock is carbon fiber, the length of pull is shorter, and a push-button cheek piece or adjustable comb lines the eye up with the scope. QD flush cups and an integral bipod rail are built in, and magazines hold 3+1 or 4+1. Prices run from about $1,760 to $2,425.

6mm Creedmoor is known for flat trajectories and low recoil, a combination that suits varmints, predators and deer at sensible ranges.

The Mini Rogue 2 pairs Fierce's dual-lug action with a TriggerTech trigger, a drop box magazine and a C3 carbon fiber barrel. The forend carries an Arca-Swiss mount and an integral bipod rail.

This rifle has a 20 in barrel. Finish: Smoked Bronze / Sonora.

A teen who fights a long stock will not shoot well from a tree stand, where space is tight and the angle is steep. Choose the shorter length of pull so the rifle comes up fast and close. Then set the comb so the scope is clear the moment the cheek lands. Begin with 25 or 6mm Creedmoor before stepping to bigger cartridges.

Indiana has no permit to purchase and no state waiting period. Choose your Indiana dealer at checkout, and the rifle ships there for the background check at pickup. Ammunition and accessories are mailed to your home. Price and stock are confirmed while you check out, ahead of payment.

Questions buyers ask: Which Mini Rogue caliber can I use for Indiana deer? Indiana sets its own rules on rifle cartridges for deer, so check the current DNR guide before you pick.

Indiana has no permit to purchase and no state waiting period, so the rifle is released once the dealer's background check clears. What caliber is this Fierce rifle? 6mm Creedmoor.
