Seems its also not compulsary to have a little decorum either.All you guys still fix'n your Fix?
You should buy a lottery ticket. You've got the best luck ever.Seems its also not compulsary to have a little decorum either.
I've had no problems from mine since I received my preorder Fix in Feb 2018.
A little excessive, don't you think?
Swing and a miss. Don’t own one. Never bought one. Just remarking on a poster dragging up a thread just to piss in it.A little excessive, don't you think?
There's no point taking your frustration out on me, you bought "the Fix". Don't get upset now that you have to Fix it.
I know, I'm just messing with you a little. 100+ pages and there seem to be a few issues. I can say all the parts from Q are good on mine, I had a 6CM made by Tooley and it doesn't like 105 or bigger unless it's polymer tipped. It seems to be the angle of entry with a short case and long bullet. Probably needs a specific barrel extension made.You should buy a lottery ticket. You've got the best luck ever.
Just reading the entire thread, it a fair assessment.
People have had a lot of trouble with them & I venture over every now & again to see how things are travelling.

I heard that a long time ago but havent heard anything recently.I thought Q said they were working on an extension with different geometry for 6.5 at least
Way back at the start of this thread, there are a lot of guys complaining about what looks to be design issues. I have to be clear that many other companies have released their product onto the market with obvious problems so this is not specific to "Q". This is what perplexes me.I know, I'm just messing with you a little. 100+ pages and there seem to be a few issues.

Hahaha, You've got me laughing dude.I spooned my Fix last night.
I was an early adopter. I have number 59. I shoot .308 and 6.5 creedmoor original barrels and have had a replacement bolt from Q. My rifle has been accurate out of the box and I’m confident it will fire when I pull the trigger.Way back at the start of this thread, there are a lot of guys complaining about what looks to be design issues. I have to be clear that many other companies have released their product onto the market with obvious problems so this is not specific to "Q". This is what perplexes me.
I don't understand why a company would release products prior to eliminating the initial bugs which, are inherent in every new product, damaging their reputation, in some cases irreparably. In my mind, this shows are lack of regard for their customers.
I know there are those who's experiences were good but, upon reading the particular issues many guys had would not instil in me a lot trust, regardless of my personal experience.
A lot of the issues mentioned are of the type that leave no doubt in my mind that the issues were previously known & yet, the product was launched onto the market. In many cases, early adopters have never been compensated or had the issue rectified.
I realise everyone thinks differently & to many who own these rifles with no issues, the conduct of Q doesn't really matter.
I can't fathom why some even show righteous enthusiasm for the rifles which, are in every measure, a solution to a non existent problem.
Anyhow, each to their own & for those who consider The Fix a worthy addition to their collection, all power to you.
I'm a Baser R8 man now & what a marvelous example of design & engineering they are. Blaser could have called the R8; "Not the Fix"
Hmmm, Blaser not the fix. I like the sound of that.
If you mean shooting it a lot….yep!All you guys still fix'n your Fix?
You know what I mean .If you mean shooting it a lot….yep!
Umm nope…mini fix has been flawless since I bought it.You know what I mean .
Every Fix owner has had to fix their Fix at some time.
What cartridge is this "Mini Fix"?Umm nope…mini fix has been flawless since I bought it.
Luck of the draw. Some shoot great. Some don’tHow well does the Q fix 6.5 creedmoor factory (from Q) barrel shoot ? Is the proof barrel that much more accurate? I am referring the 16 inch barrels?
Sounded like less feeding issues with the proof barrels in 6.5. Compared to QHow well does the Q fix 6.5 creedmoor factory (from Q) barrel shoot ? Is the proof barrel that much more accurate? I am referring the 16 inch barrels?
Here’s the reality, I personally have never seen a person regret their proof. I’ve seen a number of people have accuracy issues with their Q barrel. So it’s up to you to decide if you want to roll the dice or not.I am currently waiting on a fix in 8.6 but I would probably like a 6.5 barrel. I just am not sure if the proof is worth double the price of a factory fix barrel. I am curious of real life accuracy people were getting out of the factory 16 inch 6.5 barrels. I would be shooting the hornady q40 eldm out of it.
I am not sure who makes there barrels.If a still used bartlein I’d say go that way but if you don’t want to roll the dice just buy the proof
So, the factory barrel can give sub moa 3 shot groups? It's very tempting to try a factory barrel for the price, but seems like the proof would be the way to go. Thank you for your input.The factory 6.5 barrel is light and will give you sub MOA 2 or 3 shot groups. In my experience anything over that and the groups open considerably. I've had a proof 6.5 for a couple of years now and it behaves like every other proof barrel I have. Consistently accurate, really likes the berger 135 classic hunter.
This is purely anecdotal, but I had some issues with my 6.5CM 16". It truly is hit or miss with the factory barrels in my experience.How well does the Q fix 6.5 creedmoor factory (from Q) barrel shoot ? Is the proof barrel that much more accurate? I am referring the 16 inch barrels?
^ this this this....I'm kinda bothered that I have to drop $1000 on this already expensive rifle to make it perform like my buddy's factory tikka.
That really stinks ! I bought the rifle for a 8.6 so I am thinking about a 6.5 barrel because I like the weight of the rifle . I have other precision rifles (so i dont need the 6.5 barrel, but would be nice to have(. I figured 1 moa would be acceptable for this rifle. But it would be really unfortunate to spend 3200 just to have to spend another 1000 on a proof barrel to get it to shoot properly. I am still waiting on the rifle. I was just tempted cause I seen the q 6.5 16 inch barrels for under 400 (less then half the price of a proof).This is purely anecdotal, but I had some issues with my 6.5CM 16". It truly is hit or miss with the factory barrels in my experience.
1st barrel was doing something like 2MOA with 140 ELDMs. Also had a shit ton of feeding problems. Sent it in, got it back in 4 weeks with a new barrel.
2nd barrel did the exact same thing but this time it was 2-4MOA groups. Sent it in again. Sat with them for something like 4 months and I just got it back again.
3rd barrel is doing a lot better. Tried it out with the 140's again and was able to get ~0.73" groups at best (with some other 1.2" groups that had flyers). Still get a ton of feeding problems even though the RMA tech said they couldn't replicate it. But at this point I'm just happy it shoots lol
I think I'm just gonna have to suck it up and buy a proof but I'm kinda bothered that I have to drop $1000 on this already expensive rifle to make it perform like my buddy's factory tikka.
Maybe I just got a lemon but its weird that it took me 2 brand new barrel replacements to fix the problem. It doesn't really inspire confidence. I think the accuracy as it is now (slightly under 1moa) is perfectly acceptable. The problem is how wildly inconsistent these guns seem to be. I have a friend with a Fix that has a 22" 6.5 barrel and that thing shoots tighter than a frogs asshole. Same with my old 300blk mini-fix that I sold.That really stinks !

Do you shoot with a suppressor on? I wanted a 16 inch for it to be short with the suppressor.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I heard the problems started when Q went away from the Bartlien barrels. I haven't heard much about issues with the earlier ones from 2017/2018.
If I were you, I'd just get one of the 20" or 22" barrels. I'm considering doing that just to make the rifle heavier so it doesn't jump so much when I shoot. I wanted this gun to be a hybrid hunting/precision rifle, but it's realistically only good for hunting for that reason. Maybe the platform just isn't for me, but I really want to like it because I'm a fan of the design/ergos
Happy to answer any questions. Also completely understand if you want to hear from someone about it that is not us. Feel free to reach out anytime.Has anyone got one of the 6mm ARC mini fix from Tag Firearms with 16” proof barrels?
Just hoping y’all will have barrels and bolt heads at some point. Already have a mini.Happy to answer any questions. Also completely understand if you want to hear from someone about it that is not us. Feel free to reach out anytime.
We are still fighting the good fight to try and make that happen!Just hoping y’all will have barrels and bolt heads at some point. Already have a mini.
I have the original Bartlein 308 and it would only shoot 175 FGMM(2400 fps) for the longest time. I switched to a Bartlein 6CM and that's awesome, up to a certain bullet length. Installed the 308 for hunting season and now it likes the Norma 150gr soft points and Hornady 150gr SST all of a sudden. Both of these rounds shoot within an inch of each other at 100yds with about 0.5 mil drop at 200yds. Still does not Hornady 178 ELD-X though.Get the proof.
I’ve just changed back to my .308 Bartlein barrel and the load I worked up previously no longer groups. No idea what’s going on. Hornady white tail 150gr is half inch so i know the rifles working.
Flip a coinWhat's the current word on recent production Q Fix ?
Against my best judgement, I'm thinking about selling my Bartlein 300BLK anTI / Porksword and considering a 16in 6.5 creedmoor/12in 8.6 blackout but seems like they are not "shooters"
If it were me, I would call Defiance and see if I could get a 308 bolt first and, just have a bunch of prefits. Helluva lot cheaper in the long run and your caliber options are better. Being limited to SR25 mags is OK for what I do with it, but is definitely a con for a lot of rounds.What's the current word on recent production Q Fix ?

I honestly feel like you need to ask this in a different format. Why are you looking at a fix, and what are your purposes for the rifle. This will help hone in on your expectations of the rifle.What's the current word on recent production Q Fix ?

My issue isn't with the price and my expectation for accuracy for this type of rifle is quite low. I'm well aware this is not a 25lbs 6BR in a ACC gen2 chassis. I'm trying to find a reason not to just rebarrel my anTI on a HNT26 with a prefit carbon wrapped barrel from bughole or mos-tek (for the 8.6)I honestly feel like you need to ask this in a different format.

The rifles are guaranteed moa with match ammo. I’m not sure if that applies to 8.6 and 300 subs, as I’m not sure that is achievable accuracy with subs at this point.
They are a stupid lightweight hunting/utility rifle that belongs around your neck/chest or in a pack on your way to a hunt. It’s a unique rifle that was designed and built from scratch, that’s overall not copied from really anything. It’s interesting, it’s not a 700, it’s different. If that fits your expectations, the fix is a wonderful rifle. If you are expecting 1/4 moa match rifle that will win you PRS match …you will not be satisfied with your purchase, and you would be better served building a custom rifle to fit your needs.
There is one feature that you cant easily get on anything but the Q, and thats a right folding stock. I have one as well as a HNT/Anti/Proof rifle. The HNT is lighter despite having 6” more barrel(my Q has a 16.5” Proof). IMO it would make little sense to do anything but screw a new prefit onto your Anti/HNT setup.My issue isn't with the price and my expectation for accuracy for this type of rifle is quite low.

I'm trying to find a reason not to just rebarrel my anTI on a HNT26 with a prefit carbon wrapped barrel from bughole or mos-tek (for the 8.6)
The thing is, I have a fair amount of lightweight chassis, actions, etc on hand I don't want another project, especially on a closed/proprietary ecosystem like the Q stuff. I don't want to get a 3200$ rifle, wait months only to be told when I get it "oh you need a proof barrel, everyone knows the factory barrels are shit" "oh, a 25lbs bolt lift is normal" "oh a 4lbs trigger is normal, it's not a R700" "oh it was never designed to be a switch barrel" "spare parts ? lol, lmao"
I just want a turn key system and so far, it doesn't seem like this rifle fits the bill
Honestly I'd pay even an extra 200$ to have a "hand picked" one that shoots consistently. I don't care if it's 3/4 or 1 moa but I can't stand a rifle that shoot 1/2 moa for 3 shots then the 4th one is 2in off.
I also hate the douchebag marketing and the owner but I still like the idea of that rifle ... if it's done right
Honestly I think for you, putting a barrel on your gun is going to be the best bet.
