Just picked up my Fix. They really are awesome rifles, no buyers remorse here!
I’d be interested in your thoughts and maybe some pics of the sling mounts installed when you get around to it. I’m probably going to order them when available since I like to sling my rifles for hunting and not carry them in a pack.Just to close the loop...I heard back from Q yesterday. They are shipping my stuff out on Monday, including some sling swivel mounts. I'm really looking forward to shooting the gun slung up. Plus they are sending something extra with them.;-)
Happy to, as I'm kind of a sling shooting fanatic, and like you, I much prefer to sling my rifle when hunting, rather than use a backpack scabbard. I intend to use the PIG sling, from SKD Tactical with the Fix. It offers the best combo of carry ability and sling shooting out there, imho.I’d be interested in your thoughts and maybe some pics of the sling mounts installed when you get around to it.

The prospect of a .300 wsm was THE selling point for me. I hope Q is still on it. Once the mag bolt head is out I’d like to play with the idea of a 7mm Sherman short mag as well.
Man, .300WSM Fix would be a near perfect elk rifle for me...
I would also like to see the WSM options available as initially stated by Q.
I am interested how they will willget it to feed out of an SR25 magazine at 2.8” OAL.
I have a few boxes of 300wsm ELDX 200 gr ammo and it loaded up in the SR25 mags. The issue is the case is much larger diameter and there is no way it would feed out of a SR25 mag. The lips of the mag are for 308 rounds so the 300wsm sits much lower in the mag. Trying to strip that round out would just push it into the mag body and go nowhere. A new mag would need to be made for sure. I believe Sammi spec for coal on 300 wsm is 2.860.

I mean here is the taper data for barrels..I don't really see how you are going to get it onto other cans but good luck in that adventure.

I'm looking at getting the 6mm Creedmoor barrel but I'm not sure if i should do the 26" because it's in stock or wait and get the 24". I have 22" 6mm Creedmoor now and im seeing 3200 plus with 108s so i think even a 24" might be a bit much.
Link?Anyone see the "Jumbo Shrimp" 6.5 suppressor on the_official_q's Instagram story? Not sure if it is wider, but it looks like it might be even shorter than a Trash Panda and weighs like 8.5 oz by itself, 10oz with the Cherry Bomb. Will be interesting to see.
Link?
There is a upgraded pad in the works

Why would it be a bit much? If this is a rifle where offhand balance is important a shorter barrel might be worthwhile. Otherwise, what's the downside of a 26" tube?

Does anyone have details on this particular Fix?
Got my Mark 5 Tremor 3. It’s a perfect fit for the Fix!
Which ADM mount is that? I'm still not in love with the Leupold mount on mine. Love the optic though!
why Did you go with tremor as opposed to Cch or tmr?
If the tmr reticle looked more like mil-c it would be perfect imo
It would be nice if Q would produce a rail with cant built into it.

I'm glad someone else spotted this. I snapped a screenshot of it before it disappeared. Wish I had another shot from a better angle, but this is what I have. I couldn't count all of the baffles, but it looks like maybe it's a Trash Panda minus 3 baffles and a smaller aperture. By my rough calculations, that would put it around 6" long. It showed 8.5oz on the scale before the Cherry Bomb bumped it up to 10oz.
Just got my fix today. Pretty excited. Dang it’s light...
Now to find the perfect scope. Was think Atacr, but also looking at mark 5 and pst2 3-15 (heard optically it’s crazy good)
I received my scope back warranty work, set it up and went out two weeks ago to work with the setup and get used to this rifle. I tried FGMM 168 and 175 like Kevin said and it shot a lot better than with the Lapua 175 Scenar-L, the Lapua a lot hotter load than the FGMM. The rifle shot well with both FGMM loads even though I pulled through the trigger a few times and screwed the groups up, also a concrete bench with a piece carpet doesn't help, but like i said, a hell of a lot better groups. I have been trying different setups with the stock and it has been helping with the recoil since the first time I shot it. This weekend I am going to test out 168 Berger loads that I use in my M5 to see if this rifle likes them, fingers crossed.
Anybody have a 24” proof on their rifle? If so what is the weight? I have the 22” Creedmoor and would like to drop some weight.[/QUOTE
Also will Q take special orders on their Proof barrels? I think a 18” proof in 6.5 Creedmoor would be titties.
