What’s the word on Q’s The Fix?

[Cold_Bore_88]

Seriously considering selling my .308 AR (M110 Krieger barrel) and picking one of these up.

What’s the word on these? Any good? Issues? Reliability? What accuracy are you guys getting?

Here's a cliff's notes version. There is a big controversy over barrel suppliers. At first they were bartlein/tooley, now they are green mountain/other. Some people are having issues with accuracy. Others are not.

I've shot one, it's a friend of mine's gun. It's the 16" 308 and doesn't have the bartlein barrel. I shot one group with 168 fgmm and it was slightly under one MOA. He has tried a bunch of ammo in it, including some handholds that were for another gun. It shoots anywhere from .75" to 1.5" depending on the ammo. My educated guess is this; the guns don't shoot bugholes, but I suspect some of the issues people are having are the shooter not the gun. It is not an easy gun to shoot, especially if you are used to a 15# or more 6mm or 6.5mm. It will expose your mistakes big time.

With that being said...I want one. If you handle one you will understand why. The gun naked, no scope, bipod, suppressor, etc. weighs a little over six pounds. It is magazine fed, adjustable stock, folding stock, full length handguard, awesome two stage trigger, user changeable barrels without a bench or vice, great ergonomics, and awesome bolt throw. People complain about the bolt throw. It's definitely different, but it is not bad at all. It's just something you have to get used to. You really can't build anything like it. For it's intended purpose, which to me is a short, light, handy, hunting/field gun, it can't be beat. If you get one and it doesn't shoot well enough for your intended purpose, just have a barrel spun up for it that will.

Thanks for the info. Good feedback. Would like something that is .5” capable. I suspect you are right as the shooter is often the problem.

Mine is 1/4 minute with handloads but it’s a Proof barrel model. Factory Federal 105gr Berger shot right at/under 1/2 MOA.

If it doesn’t shoot then it’s the shooter and/or barrel, not the platform. It’s absolutely capable with a good barrel and shooter. Look at my post on the last page of the Q thread. It’s only 3 shots but those 3 shots are under .1” CTC.

It seems like the 308s have more issues than 6.5. there are many that are .5 moa

I’ve been watching the thread for months anticipating picking one up. I haven’t seen anyone with a Bartlein/Tooley 6.5 complain about accuracy. Only non-B/T 308s and one B/T 308... personally I think it might be the profile of the 308 barrel. It’s pretty thin towards the end. If people are heating them up and tossing rounds quickly thT may have and effect....

But I agree with the above poster: drama or not, put your hands on one and you’re done for

I have not found one in the wild yet. Would really like to get my mitts on one.

If you post your location if someone is near you they may let you get your mitts on one

Cabela’s in Lehi Utah has two. If you try your local Cabela’s. They seem to have them
