The Fix from Q

[Scotch_egg]

KB, will the direct scope mount remove the need to take off the top rail etc when swapping barrels? As in, will it just involve removing the handguard and barrel nut?
Also will folding stocks be made available for sale on their own one day? So some with a fixed stock can swap it out.

I have never seen a Fix with a fixed stock.

 

[Kevin Brittingham]

I see Cabelas is carrying the Fix. Any idea when they will get any in stock? I have a bunch of Cabelas points on my card and I want to use them on the Fix.

We are consistently shipping to their distributor. Not certain about individual stores, I don't have clarity into that.

No, it still will have to be removed. Yes, the stocks will be available for sale, there will also be other stocks developed.

Dumb question here...other than having a lower weight than most chassis set-ups, what is so impressive? Also, why does their website offer a .260 Remington barrel or 6mm CM barrel but on a 6.5 CM receiver? That is confusing to me.

If youre going with a barrel upgrade the difference between the 308 and 6.5 options looks like it comes down to the color accents. The 260 and 6cm options are carbon fiber proof barrels.

The Fix utilizes a one piece upper and lower receiver, which keeps the gun light weight and doesn't require a heavy chassis. Switch barrel. Easy change bolts and charging handles. New, safer, match trigger system. Uses detachable SR-25 mags. Folding stock. Modular stock, hand guard, and top rails. Starting from scratch we were able minimize weight without resorting to skeletonizing or being forced to use expensive, exotic materials. Probably most importantly, we aren't limited to shortcomings of the 700.

I got to play with one last week and the bolt was super stiff to cycle, is it common?

I have a fairly small sample size to compare it to but it looks to be pretty common.

No.

 

[newguy2k3v2]

Stiff at first. Loosens up considerably with use. Folding latch is pretty tight.

Gun looks pretty bad ass. Everything a short action sniper rifle should be. Does anyone know if they do a military pricing?

I know they don’t do LE pricing but not sure on Mil.

I don't think there is mil pricing current on guns, due to backlog. There is on accessories, and will be on the guns in the future.

Tell me about The Fix pistol brace....

 

[Kevin Brittingham]

Tell me about The Fix pistol brace....

Producing them now. Will be similar in appearance to our folding stock for The Fix. Will be perfect for The Fix with short .308 barrel or 8.6 Creedmoor, or the Mini Fix in 300blk. Meaning, we will offer those SKU's as pistols.

 

[smead45]

Really interested in one of these for a duty rifle. Does anyone have any I formation regarding the weapons service life? High round count maintenance? Parts breakage etc..?

Yes. Q. LiveQorDie.com

 

[ThePretzel]

For the 45* bolt throw, does that mean this is a 4-lug action? Sorry if it's a duplicate question, but I briefly skimmed through the thread and didn't see it asked earlier.

Yes. It’s actually five, but one just picks up the round from the other side of the mag.

 

[SLG]

Yes. Q. LiveQorDie.com

I've looked on the site, where does it address high round count issues and such?

I'm confused about why you would sell stocks...what gun would they be for? Aren't all Fix's folding from the get go?

The Fix rifles all have folding stocks.

Internally, it is more durable and longer lasting than any other bolt action rifle.

 

[Mr. F]

Is the rattle snaking on the main spring normal?
I keep asking on their instagram page but the question disappears

What does that mean?

 

[Mr. F]

Its just that its something of a widely known issue on M700 actions to have the spring bundle up like that.

Just wanted to know if there is no issue with it binding on the Q.

Heard it causes ignition problems thats all.

Not an issue with The Fix.

 

[Mr. F]

Noted. Thanks

 

[HVT1]

Starting to get the gun figured out. I'm right at 1/2 MOA with it now after a range session dialing it in at 100 yards, with the Hornady 140gr ammo. I took it out to 200 and 300 and it's a real joy to shoot. The 600 yard bay is down for maintenance at my range, but should be open soon, can't wait to see how it does then! What is everyone else seeing for accuracy on these?

1/2 MOA is seems to be typical 5 Shot group size with Factory Ammo.

 

[Kevin Brittingham]

Agreed.

 

[HVT1]

It a Q barrel. That, and the entire package make The Fix an excellent value.

Who is chambering the new Green Mountain Barrels in the FIX? Are you seeing any change in accuracy?

 

[accurate_okie]

45 degree throw will be harder than that of a 90 degree throw.

yep, mine shot just under 5 with factory 143 eldx. playing with some 130 ELDs handloads

Kevin, I'm going to be in your town this afternoon for something unrelated. Got any time for me to swing by and ask some questions in person? Would love to see a mini Fix--if that's a possibility.

Please give us a report, I am very interested in the 8.6CM and Mini Fix for 6.5 Grendel! Might want to ask on IG as they seem to respond faster. @bachelorjack

I forgot Kevin is at NRA show in TX, I would think Adam is at Shop, but I don’t know, I am just a consumer.

He’s likely headed to TX for the NRA show. Thats where Im supposed to be.

I just thought it was worth a shot. Instead Im spending the day eating and doing touristy shit.

I will be back again this way in the coming months. Can always try again.

We are getting more consistent results.

Not always.

 

[Kevin Brittingham]

Every 6.5 The Fix that ships ships that well.

I’m on the way to NRA. Take IPA and ask for Nick. Tell him I sent you.

Welc

Welcome any time.

 

[Bender]

My request to Kevin is to name the next rifle “Honey Badger” because, obviously, he doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks....

The Fix is cool. Wish I could swing one.... lol

Did you mean in Portsmouth? I was also wondering if one day I could check one of the rifles out too, but I also don't want to bother Kevin or any of his guys, as I know it's not cool to just show up to someone's shop while they are working. I only live maybe 5 minutes away from there

Yes. Thats why I asked on the Hide first.

If I can convince the girlfriend we will be there in an hour. 4ish. Want to join us?

Does Nick drink Tequila? Cause we just bought a bottle...

Anyone else want in?

I haven’t heard of anyone here that lives in or near Portsmouth

Sell something. I sold my Desert Tech and switched to The Fix as my primary bolt gun. This is the best general purpose bolt gun I have ever had my hands on bar none.

I've got all sorts of stuff for sale now, so that I can get a MiniFix. A rifle this light is not supposed to be this accurate or this ergonomic and yet, here we are.

It seems to break in nicely. At least mine did. It will be harder than a similar quality 90 degree throw, but it is a fair bit lighter than I expected it to be.
