Q Fix Review: Does It Actually Live Up to the Hype?

James Reeves
by James Reeves

The Q Fix is one of the most talked-about bolt-action rifles ever made—but does it actually live up to the hype? I traveled to Q’s headquarters in New Hampshire to find out for myself. I built a Mini Fix from the ground up with their team, tested it at the range, and spoke with Kevin Brittingham (Q’s founder), a Q engineer, and even Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch to get their take. Is this $3,300 folding bolt gun a gimmick—or one of the best bolt-action rifles you can buy?

    Oswald had a $21 mail order rifle. I'm glad he didn't have this thing.

      Except Oswald didnt shoot Kennedy. The 6.5 mm Carcano is one of the most inaccurate rifle cartridges ever made, the rifle was old and worn out (FBI personnel were afraid to fire the rifle because it was in such bad condition) and Oswald barely qualified with his rifle at Boot.

    My LGS has a 16" 5.56 and a .300BLK braced pistol on the clearance table because they've had difficulty selling them. They were nice quality with a smooth action, but they'd have to be marked down by at least 50% before I'd seriously consider it.
