I'm holding fast for real world reviews and feedback from owners, if things seem good, I hope to buy one by the end of the year.

Some are worse than others! That list and discussion is for another rage thread. I don't think Q has missed a time line yet. But they have had few ones they have set so far lol

This is the same company that wanted every dollar, up front, to get your place in line for the Q. For what? "Quick change barrels," a straight pull bolt? You can change barrels fairly damn quickly with most any bolt action. As far as the straight pull goes, I simply don't care enough to risk a few G's on finding out.
Anyone who knows anything about the firearms industry knows that giving up that much dough up front on a promise of delivery is simply begging to be out every single penny of that total for an undisclosed period of time. I bet there's tons of people who fronted half to Desert Tech, or it's vendors, for an MDR about 2 years ago, maybe even longer. I lost count from all of the bullshit DT statements made with regards to the MDR's release, but I vaguely remember, "it'll be here beginning of January 2017" near the middle of November. Then, at the end of January, it was, "they'll ship end of March, beginning of April." It's now fucking June and not even a peep. Hopefully the Q makes it out on time and is a huge success. It would be nice to FINALLY see a firearms manufacturer, with a newly developed concept, come close to or actually hit their target release date. I specified those manufacturers with "newly developed concepts" because there are still companies who meet their specified timelines. Most of them, however, are not coming out with some new whizbang device, just building quality firearms. |

The Fix is very different than most bolt actions available, and 3k for what you get isn't bad at all.
Q has started their company, made 4 rifle cans, 2 rimfire cans, a Honey Badger, and The Fix rifle....then taken The Fix to NZ and dropped half a dozen big game animals, all in the amount of time that Desert Tech has been saying the MDR is 2 weeks out. Plus, Q already has stuff shipping. Brownells has had The Fix for a couple weeks, and there's a bunch of form 3's out on their cans and even some form 4's I believe. I'd be willing to bet that if they say the rifles will ship this month, that's what's going to happen. |

I did not preorder and in all fairness I'm probably not going to get one. I do hope they deliver good product and on time though. DT has set the bar so low it'll be hard to do worse. I do hope Q will set a better example for other companies.

Have you guys seen the fix in person? I saw them at the NRA show and while I respect the innovations, it's not my cup of tea. It feels tiny and while uber adjustable, It comes at the cost of being a bit of a contraption. I know there's some folks who'll buy stuff to have the newest and bestest but I think it's something you ought to hold and figure out if it's really suited for your application.

I think I'm leaning towards a trash panda, that'll allow for a bit quicker on/off and actually allow you to run it on a rifle with 1/2x28 threads since the suppressor comes with mounts for each size and pitch. With the Nelson line it's 5/8 only, which is great for a dedicated can, but I like options. I'll be waiting until someone like Brownells had The Fix in stock to order, then I'll decide which can I need, but I think it'll be the Trash Panda. 
The Trash Panda looks great too. Can't wait to try one out. |

Desert Tech has quite a bit of product in the real world as well. A company that is able to produce and ship other items does not transfer to all of their items, particularly, items that are new concepts. |

Plus Kevin took one to NZ and slayed red stag at 700yds with one. They're much more transparent than Desert Tech, check their Instagram, tons of pics from inside their facility of all their products being made. The progress of everything is right there for everyone to see. Desert Tech is just continuing to lie about shit. |

I'd definitely go for a combo of the 338/6 Creed. |
