The FIx is a modern day version of a general purpose bolt gun that can be used for everything in a pinch. Or at least that is how I view it. It will serve as a precision rifle and a hunting rifle and as just about everything I might need a bolt gun to do.
MPR, while undoubtedly a good gun, is the same archaic design that has been around forever and a day, which gets to be lightweight through the use of a bunch of carbon fiber. Even with all that, it is still more than half a pound heavier than the Fix (looking at the 16" models) at 6.9 lbs.
The more I shoot this gun, the more I like the 45deg bolt lift. Generally, the bolt lift lightened up considerably with use and lubrication.
I am not sure under what conditions I would need to replace the action, but fundamentally the Fix is something different in a market full of various Remington clones executed with incredible precision. Companies go through incredible pains trying to figure out how to make an infinitesimally small improvement to the bedding surface of yet another Remington clone. The Fix solves this problem in an entirely different manner and I think it is commendable.
