Q Fix bolt action rifle in 6.5 CM or .308: Anyone have any experience?

[Racktech]

Found next to nothing discussed here on NWF.
Lot of 6.5 CM Q FIX hype on youtube. Lot of money for a very light rifle, but fair if it brings V-good things to the table.

Shootable in .308? Seems to be a lot of used rifles for sale, given the tiny market. Not usually a good sign on a $3200 weapon.

Format not something I have any experiece with. Why does it appeal?
Folding stock. Designed for a can. Compact AND LIGHT. AR style controls. Easy to hump.

This is true.

If money weren't a concern, I'd love to buy a fix. I've shot one a handful of times and really enjoyed it. If you're loaded, definitely hit it.

Even if the drop is from .5 moa to 1 moa, a rifle half (or a third) the price is going to be comparable in many areas.

I have to admit I think the folded compact 26" package is slick. Thoughts ran to perfect 200 yrd rifle with 16" fast twist barel. Maybe a 24" carbon quick change for longer range plinking - steel aspirations.

I am pretty commited to 7mm-08 as my go-to. Looking at "custom barrels" I see Proof Research steel and wrapped carbon, as the only options. That's the thing with proprietary. The choices with Proof are the same as standard Q. Boring! Why bother? Trying to get a 7mm-08 barrel for a Q-Fix elsewher is probably a non-starter? Anybody know diffferent?

A Ruger RPR with a cooler name and even cooler price, yup, a sucker born every second!

6.5 Creed is a better cartridge than .308 for most applications, and probably for all applications in a bolt gun.

It gets you a rifle with a "Q" on it

aero precision makes a nice bolt action now too.

Something that light… 308 is going to suck on recoil. 6.5 any day for the Q.
