I am left handed but am right eye dominant. Play golf, use scissors and hunt right handed. Everything else is left handed.

before buying my Fix


This will likely be my next rifle. Selling off a couple things to fund it currently. I am thinking ill go with the 6.5 version since I have a few 308s. I want to get into a 6.5c and then there 300wsm or other larger caliber offerings. You shoot it much yet?

dont. get a 308 and buy the Proof 6.5 barrels when they're available. that's what I did and Chris said he wishes he did the same. the 6.5 bartlein barrel is heavvyyyyyy

Thats what I was flip flopping between doing. The proof 6.5 will be lighter than the stock Q one? EDIT I see thats there thing is carbon fiber wrapped light barrels. Might go that route then.

Thats part of the draw for me is the weight...I didnt read the 6.5 weight tho just the 308 at like 6lbs.

Nice...I have that on my magpul 308 you seen in the past. I thought about moving it to the fix but then I was wondering if they had something lighter that was nice. To keep the fix as light as possible.
