About
What it is, and why it matters
The Q The Fix is a lightweight precision bolt-action rifle that grafts AR-15 ergonomics onto a short-action repeater. It uses a 45-degree short-throw bolt, an AR-pattern safety selector and pistol grip, a folding fully adjustable stock, a free-floating Q-Sert / M-LOK handguard, and SR-25-pattern magazine compatibility. The threaded stainless barrel ships with a Cherry Bomb muzzle brake and is suppressor-ready. The Fix is offered in .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and Q's own 8.6 Blackout via a quick-change barrel system, with the complete rifle weighing in around 6.3 lb.
The Fix headlined the launch of Q, LLC after Kevin Brittingham left SIG Sauer, positioning a fighting bolt gun with AR controls and a sub-7-pound weight as a radical rethink of the precision rifle.
Weight ~6.3 lb (~2858 g) for the .308/16" configuration; 8.6 BLK barrels use a fast 1:3 twist optimized for heavy subsonic projectiles, while .308 uses ~1:10 and 6.5 CM ~1:7. Folded length ~25.9" (~658 mm); overall ~35.1-36.6" open. Magazine capacity 10+1 with SR-25 pattern mags. Marketed by Q as 'the biggest step forward in bolt-action since 1962.' MSRP roughly $3,000-$3,200.
