A lot of people’s complaints around this gun center around forcing it into roles it wasn’t designed for. The Fix is a utility/hunting rifle meant as a lightweight build for overland hunters or as a truck gun. I’d just kit the thing with a Jumbo Shrimp or Trash Panda, sling, and a good 3-9 or 4-12 scope and it would make an excellent Texas Brush Rifle!
My only issue with the entire Fix lineup is the light primer strikes. Q can claim hard primers all they want but it’s unacceptable for a modern well engineered rifle to struggle with primers. Otherwise I really like what they have done here.
honestly it sounds like you were kind of fighting this instead of going with it. Credit to you however being honest about it. I think you're right, I would not have tried to screw around with the cherry bomb. You can put a blastdeflector on it, and they're giving a free suppressor of your choice until the end of August if you buy this

Great review. Just picked the same one up. Looks like your folding stock has a QD adaptor in the brass color as mine does not. Must be a model change over the two years.
As a note Kevin of Q was on the SIG product development team for the Cross. Then he left and made the Fix. It’s a strong statement to say SIG stole the idea. The Fix’s action is very different from the cross.
I’ve heard no one confirm Kevin worked on the cross, sig hasn’t even made that assertion. The fact that the Fix came out years before the cross kind of lends credence to one taking cues from the other….
@@defconcreative I think it coming out before doesn’t really make much of a difference. If he didn’t work directly with the cross he was the head honcho of the suppressor division which the cross is essentially designed around. KB is a hype and release dude I have a feeling he wanted to beat them to market with something not seen before. Not saying his stuff isn’t sometimes thought out but just food for thought. The design is not a lot different I agree but at the same time a lot of “modern” hunting rifles are starting to go that route like the Fierce mountain reaper. If it works people will follow on it.
Why is a full length top rail necessary? I’m not trying to be a troll - I just don’t “get” it. We need a rail on top of the receiver to mount scopes. We need some rail at the muzzle end for an iron sight (?), flashlight switch, etc. The only rifle I’ve seen that used a lot of rail in the middle had a laser designator and some other gear that I will never have or use. P.S. I just assumed the handguard had M-Lok slots. Proprietary attachments is a major buzzkill for me. I don’t want much on a bolt action rifle: sling swivel and hand stop are about it, but I don’t want to mess with adapters. P.P.S. Turns out you can get a Fix handguard with M-Lok slots instead of Q-Sert slots. I understand the weight & strength advantage of Q-Serts slots but the available attachments are very limited and expensive.
Full length top rails are for putting Thermal scope attachments in front of your actual scope. Expensive upgrade that makes the gun heavy, but it’s very popular for night stalking hogs and coyotes which this gun is perfect for
I can't get over how bulky the bipod is, that system screams PRS or bench shooting; seems like it's devoid the intent of the rifle...being the "do it all setup." Either way, I have one, it's sick, the branding is on par with Chubbies shorts and it is a great truck gun that is easily convertible to different calibers. I am salty about the mag choice
I took the time to do some research on this rifle. You set it up the way it's recommended, you're not gonna find any rifle even double the weight that we do with this rifle does. And you're not gonna find one zero anywhere close to as well as this one will. It's pricey, but if you take a serious look at the engineering that went into it, it starts to make a lot of sense.
Lifting the bolt is what cocks the firing pin, by pushing back on the firing pin spring. Once the firing pin has been cocked, then you can cycle the bolt much easier. How it cycles after the firing pin has been cocked is irrelevant though, but because you need to cock the firing pin everytime you load a new round after firing. The reason this rifle has a heavy bolt lift, is because of the 45 degree bolt lift. A 90 degree bolt lift will have more camming power and be easier to lift. Especially if you have a hot hand load that can make bolt lift heavier than factory ammo. 45 degree bolt lift is a bit of wank really.
I’ve taken mine hunting all over now. I’m disappointed in the accuracy you got as I get sub moa out of mine 99% of the time. Then again, I don’t have a 16” 6.5 so maybe there’s some difference there.
I’ve seen a bunch of accuracy issues with the 6.5 I have a 308 barrel and a 8.6 and they all are sub 1” moa… but this isn’t the first video I’ve seen accuracy issues out of 6.5

Exactly
DO IT!

If they are charging $3k+ for a gun like that, I feel there is no excuse at that point
Saved me some money. Cant get past their response to you. I loathe companies like that.
It was shitty
Same here, I thought I wanted one of these rifles, but I think I'll just build off a Savage or Remington.
You can build a low tier custom rifle for less. Or just get a Cross and spend the savings on glass
@@PullingRugsthis was exactly what I did. Cross in 6.5 with a leupold VX6-HD 3-18x50.

Good timing, looking up something similar for next gun.
nice.... this is definitely an option.

It’s very possible they did!!
There was. They’re trying to squeeze even more weight out of out and going away from QD cups. Look into the sling devils they have.
Would you say the color scheme is the same? I just placed an order and really hoping it has the tan accents.
Excellent review.
Thank you!

It’s a bolt gun….. lights and lasers need not apply

Pretty light weight if you toss a proof carbon barrel in it. Great review!
Q has some of the best products in the game should have just used a thunder chicken. Q has said many times that there stuff is meant to be suppressed.
Can you share more details about the taper device you used to create a better shoulder for the deadair brake?
Q sells them on their website in three sizes
What are the chances you would/could review the JTAC Owl? I would love to get your opinion on it!

all im in for is the 8.6 blackout why get it in any other round
Probably mainly having range past like 300 yards

What kind of bipod is that?
Looks like a magpul bipod
can you explain or link vid to why the bolt lever binds up after trigger pull please?

Love my Fix, but I HATE the trigger lol
