Broke in the .308 barrel yesterday. Everything went smooth. I was very happy with the rifle. I’m really looking forward to hunting season with the Fix! The muzzle brake made the rifle feel like shooting a 5.56. I did my best to be away from other shooters, but the guy 8 points away said it was extremely loud. I’m going to try shooting with just a thread protector next time to be a little more courteous to everyone else enjoying the range.
