I have the only Q Fix in civilian ownership in the U.K.
Chris Parkin did a review which wasn’t the best IMO. He clearly just didn’t like the concept, he was shooting the rifle unmoderated in .308 with a 16” barrel. The bolt is easy to get in and out, I don’t know what he was fumbling about, rushing trying to do it all in one take.
The U.K. RRP however was staggering. He quoted £4500. As you rightly identify getting one in the states is hard enough.
I love mine. It’s too lightweight for PRS. Well with he proof research barrel it is. Plus I have an AX I can now use for the range.
