It is so awesome, I am having a hard time containing my excitement.Isn't it great living in a blue state? Been like this in Mass. for years. Now we also can't buy AR's AK's, FAL's or anything else that looks scary to our AG.

I'm curious about what is the difference between the 308 and 6.5 extensions.
I read about plans of building '338 creedmoor' version. What is that?

Somewhere in the Q world, I heard it was supposed to be like a bigger 300 blackout. A 6.5 creedmoor cartridge necked-up to 338 for both subsonic and supersonic rounds.
Why? I dunno, didn't sound too interesting to me, but that's my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it.
With everyone on here bitching about something or another, did I miss where someone one on here actually received one of the rifles and shoot it??
If so so how did it shoot? I like the concept but haven’t seen anything about accuracy and precision?
Yes, craigos did a couple of pages ago on post #407.
Had mine for a month and a half and loving it for what its intended to do... so update, a SHer let me know they modified the bolt for the heavy bolt lifts i was getting with the slightly hotter loads and Q responded to me today (yes on a Saturday) and offered to upgrade for free ... folks can bitch and moan, but they have been taking care of me just awesome ...
I also emailed Q multiple times discussing heavy bolt lift after reading the review on here. They acknowledge they had heavy bolt lift issues but they said they had a “fix” for it. I was a bit nervous as I have one on pre order. They also let me know I was third from the last to get my pre order in... so I’ve got that going for me.
They also said it “should” be ready by February. Maybe before that as they are getting faster at productions as the days go by. I’m not gonna hold my breath but it does give me hope haha
Serial number? No idea. I wanna say my order number was 1260. I would have to find it to be sure but i pretty sure throats it
1040 or 0040. I thought the preorder was supposed to be 500 rifles, yet we see invoices > 1000. Just currious if they started with 1 or 1000 for their order numbers.
That's the serial on the rifle, right? What was your order number, if different? Thanks.
It is difficult to form concrete conclusions after one day at the range, but I am really liking this rifle for now. It is accurate with factory ammo (I'll do some load development later), handles well, and has a nice trigger. The stock adjusted nicely, so it fits me like a glove. The lock up of the folding stock is very solid.
While I am waiting for another mount to come in for the TT315M I earmarked for this rifle, I put a Sig Tango6 4-24x50 I just received. Even with this rather heavy scope and a bipod, it barely breaks past teen pounds.
The trigger is very nice and crisp. The bolt is less heavy than I expected and quite smooth.
There is really a lot to like.
I'll post updates as I keep shooting, but I am really liking this gun.

So a member here told me Q had a fix for the heavy bolt, so i wrote to Q on FB and immediately got a ack and they turned it around in 1 day. These guys are great to work with. Will run some of my hotter reloads through it (6.5CM) this weekend and report out.
So what’s the Fix for heavy bolt lift?
can any one comment on the .308 16” barrel’s ability to cope with prolonged fire? Any POI changes?
I cant decide whether to get a spare 6.5 creedmoor and a .308 or just 2 6.5 creedmoor barrels.

Looks like new bolt and some "innards" changed. Also they reduced the trigger pull on my gun - its now 2.5 lbs and very very crisp (like a glass rod).

Now, that I have been messing with it for a while... while The Fix" is an ambitious name, it is definitely a unique design.
The biggest thing it fixes for me is weight. This is easily the lightest bolt gun rifle with AR-like ergonomics and folding stock I am aware of. Add to that the ability to easily swap barrels and one of the fastest bolt throws I have seen to date.
I am one of those weird people who regularly practice shooting from unsupported and other odd positions and the 45 degree bolt is proving really useful. I can run this bolt really quickly and light weight is helpful.
Since there is no separate chassis, I do not need to be concerned with bedding of any sort, tightening chassis screws or anything like that. Another interesting thing, is that all the important clockwork is contained inside the bolt. How durable that is remains to be seen, since the design is new. However, from a serviceability standpoint, I wonder if I can simply have a spare bolt in case something goes wrong.
Unlike everyone else apparently, I also like being able to use ubiquitous AR-10 mags.
Whether that fixes anything for you is sorta personal, but it all adds up to a very interesting design for me.

They are supposed to be making a “mini fix” and it will be fore 224 vlk and 300blk among others. It’s supposed to take standard AR mags
Is the handguard a solid design? Im looking to add a clipon and the design and weight of the rifle looks like a ideal candidate for nighttime shooting

I am not sure what you mean by "solid design"? It is a single piece design that feels quite sturdy. The top rail is a single piece, which attaches to both the action and the handguard.

Just want to make sure its not flimsy and has a lot of flex
I think some of you are missing the point about the rifle and magazines. It's a hunting rifle not a PRS rifle. I don't want to spend $90 on a 10 round or $70 on a 5 round magazine that is going to be clanking around in the woods, polymer is much quieter and $18 for a 5, 10, 20 round magazines. Get a KAC mag if you are that worried about it.
To that extent it doesn't truly represent anything that a traditional design cannot do. A hunting rifle doesn't necessarily need to be tacticool and cost $3000+ to be lightweight, ergonomic and bolt action. Barrel changes? Why would I need to change my barrel when I can afford more than one gun for the same price. The fix is nice in that offers a non-traditional alternative. For it's stated purpose is it revolutionary? No. Costly? Oh yeah.I think some of you are missing the point about the rifle and magazines. It's a hunting rifle not a PRS rifle.
