Q LLC The Fix 308 Win 16″ Rifle – Proof Carbon Barrel, Blue

Description

Q built The Fix around a simple idea: a bolt-action rifle shouldn't feel like a boat anchor, and it shouldn't fight you on the controls either. The result is a .308 Win that ties together a one-piece receiver, familiar AR-style controls, a fully adjustable folding stock, and a 45-degree short-throw bolt handle. This particular build carries the Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, which is the big difference-maker over the standard stainless version.

What Sets This Fix 308 Apart

The Proof Research barrel starts with a match-grade 416R stainless core and gets wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber. That construction trims a good chunk of weight up front while helping the barrel shed heat faster and hold zero through longer strings of fire. Paired with a 1:10 twist and Q's tapered muzzle, it's the kind of setup that rewards good glass and good ammo. The whole rifle runs right around 6.3 pounds in standard trim, and the carbon barrel keeps things light even with a 16" tube.

Features That Actually Earn Their Keep

The Q-Sert free-float handguard gives you M-LOK mounting room for bipods, lights, or whatever your setup calls for, and the full-length M1913 Picatinny top rail makes glassing it up easy. It runs a crisp two-stage match trigger, AR-style safety and grip, and feeds from widely available SR-25 pattern magazines, so you're not hunting for proprietary mags. The muzzle wears Q's Cherry Bomb brake on 5/8-24 threads, and the tapered shoulder means no timing headaches if you swap muzzle devices.

Folding Down The Fix 308

The adjustable folding stock is where this rifle really shows off. It collapses the overall length down to about 25.9 inches folded, which makes it genuinely easy to stash in a pack or a short case, then deploys back out to a 35.1 to 36.6 inch shooting length. It's a precision rifle you can take places a traditional long gun just won't go comfortably.
