About this product
The Q The Fix 6.5 Creedmoor 16in Bolt-Action Rifle, 10+1 is a precision-engineered bolt-action platform chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a compact 16-inch barrel and proprietary two-stage trigger system. Built around the 6.5 Creedmoor's ballistic advantages for medium-range shooting, this rifle balances tactical maneuverability with sub-MOA accuracy potential. The platform's modular design integrates modern mounting systems with a lightweight chassis that responds well to suppressor use without compromising field readiness.
What is the Q The Fix 6.5 Creedmoor used for?
This rifle serves as a dedicated medium-range precision platform for hunters and tactical shooters requiring consistent performance at distances up to 800 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge delivers flatter trajectory than .308 Winchester with approximately 25% less recoil, making it ideal for extended shooting sessions. Combined with the 16-inch barrel's maneuverability, it excels in dense timber hunting and competitive shooting scenarios where quick target acquisition matters.
How does the Q The Fix compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Fix outperforms the Stevens 334 .308 Win in trigger quality and chassis rigidity, with a 1.5-pound two-stage trigger versus the Stevens' 4-pound single-stage design. Where the Stevens 334 serves as an entry-level hunting rifle at $450, The Fix's $4,000 price reflects its match-grade barrel, fully adjustable stock, and suppressor-optimized gas system. For serious precision work, The Fix maintains sub-MOA groups with factory ammo while the Stevens typically achieves 1.5-2 MOA.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
At 6.4 pounds empty, The Fix balances lightweight construction with stability, measuring 34.5 inches overall with the stock collapsed. The 16-inch barrel contributes to a 7-inch shorter overall length than traditional 24-inch precision rifles like the Stevens 334. Barrel diameter tapers from 0.85 inches at the chamber to 0.65 inches at the muzzle, optimizing heat dissipation during sustained fire.
Who is this NOT for?
Budget-conscious shooters should avoid this platform, as the $4,000 price tag exceeds most factory precision rifles by $2,500-3,000. Beginners would better start with our Stevens 334 in .243 Win to learn fundamentals before investing in specialized equipment. Traditional hunters preferring wood stocks may find the tactical chassis uncomfortable compared to classic sporter designs.
What's in the box?
Each rifle ships with one 10-round steel magazine, suppressor-ready muzzle device, and basic owner's manual covering disassembly and torque specifications. Unlike many competitors, Q includes proprietary mounting hardware for the Picatinny rail, saving approximately $85 in aftermarket parts. The packaging meets UPS hazardous materials requirements with proper padding to prevent transit damage to the floated barrel.
Is the Q The Fix worth it at $4,000?
For serious precision shooters requiring suppressor-ready performance, the $4,000 investment justifies itself through match-grade consistency and durability. The proprietary bolt design reduces lock time by 30% compared to traditional actions, translating to tighter groups under time pressure. Considering comparable custom builds start at $3,200 without the integrated suppressor tuning, The Fix delivers turnkey performance for professionals.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-10 magazines?
- No, The Fix uses proprietary steel magazines specifically designed for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge geometry. These magazines feature reinforced feed lips that prevent the bolt override issues common with modified AR-10 magazines. Each magazine holds 10 rounds and costs approximately $45 directly from Q.
- Does it work with Dead Air suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts all standard .30 caliber suppressors including Dead Air Sandman series. I've mounted a Sandman-S with minimal point of impact shift—approximately 0.2 MIL at 100 yards. Requires proper alignment with suppressor-specific muzzle device sold separately for $90-150.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments typically process within 3 business days with 5-day ground transit to most Montana locations. All firearms ship via UPS with adult signature required—ensure your FFL's license is on file before ordering. Expedited shipping adds $75 for 2-day air service.
- Can I return it if the accuracy doesn't meet specs?
- Q guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition—if your rifle groups larger than 1 inch at 100 yards, they'll repair or replace it within 30 days. Returns require proof of testing with three 5-shot groups using factory ammo like Hornady 140gr ELD-M. All returns must go through Q's warranty department, not through retail exchange.
