Successor to the Scout: Q's 8.6mm Fix

Yep I'm 53 and pretty deaf from my time in the military, suppressors are the solution to a billion dollar problem.

Considering they’re called Q I’m half expecting their CEO to say “now pay attention 007” during all of their meetings

This gun looks like a 'what if' where bolt actions remained the main line rifle after ww2

Kind of disappointed they didn't go with "Tip" for the rifle name. Because not only would that make it "the Q Tip", but also because no matter what kind of hunting or survival situation you're facing, you could always go in with just the Tip.

Another reason for the high rate of twist - you've got a really long bullet. Long bullets need more RPM to fly stably. It's also subsonic, less velocity means less RPM for a given rate of twist. So to get the RPM up to the needed value you need a greater rate of twist. The fact that the rifle is a bolt action came as a surprise.. up to that point I thought it was another AR.

31:00 Knowing Q, they’ll take you’re feedback on the electrical tape and come up with a silicone wrap, name it something exotic and charge $65.99 for it. 😂

Good attitude toward hearing protection. I have an uncle who was born in the late '40s who has been a hunter and shooter his whole life. When he started shooting hearing protection wasn't a thing. I don't know when he started using protection, but it was too late. He can hear conversation if it's in a quiet room and you're right in front of him. In a restaurant he can't understand a word.

Hearing Ian use words like "dongle" and "dingus" in such a calm and confident manner to describe trigger parts absolutely made my day 😂 I'm also very glad he made a video about this rifle, seems to me Q's engineers really try to think outside the box without being too over-the-top about it, despite that they may be one of the "Apple brands" of the firearms world, I do appreciate the ingenuity and obviously Ian seems happy with the performance given its purpose!

"What does this do over a regular bolt action." It comes with all the after market parts you can put on a Remington 700 in Tarkov.

This poses the obvious question, will 8.6mm chamber in .308 rifle and will it fire? 🤔

This thing looks like the survival rifle you'd find in your escape pod of a space ship.

Ian, the 'primary extraction by the bolt pivoting' system is also on the Denel NTW 20. I learned that from your video :)

Ian, the rearward motion on the bolt handle for extracting a cartridge from the chamber is found in the Blaser R93 and R8 rifles which have been out for some time. The guiderails are also found on the Blaser rifles. So I am sure Q took some inspiration here.

My buddy hunts with .338 lapua magnum. Shot once without ear pro and learned from it. Now walks around the woods with actives on his head.

Man I didn't realize what a seriously innovative rifle this was. Q's colors may be a little funky but man this is really something else. They put thought into this. That bolt is seriously fancy.

This is a very pure video. It's just Ian talking about a weapon that he really likes for some very interesting reasons.

My buddy has that same thermal scope. It is absolutely wild how well it works. Then again it should for the price lol. He also has been messing with 8.6 blackout and 338 spectra. Both really neat cartridges.

Greetings from south central BC, thanks for another fine video sir. About 40 years back a buddy and I talked about building a folding stock, short barreled rifle with a reliable QD scope mount for chasing mulie bucks up in some steep local canyons. When I saw that rifle it reminded me of our project which never came to fruition. Suppressors make so much sense, but we're not holding our breath for using them up here - unfortunately. All the best.

I am 81 and got my first antelope at 13 with a 30.30, although mostly hunted with a 30.06. Boy, has "hunting" changed. A box of ammo would normally last 4 or 5 years. I generally used a 180g Silvertip, which had no problems taking down deer and elk, and have never owned a new rifle. Of course, I hunted to put meat in the freezer, as did my father before me and the guys I hunted with. The idea of spending $3,500 on just the gun would have seemed fantastic to us. The gun Ian showed is science fiction to me. Why you would need a 20 round magazine and a suppressor plus a folding stock is beyond me. Still, I love this channel. It's interesting to see old guns and how much hunting has changed since the "old days".

What a genius design. That makes the simple thing they did not realise to make the trigger guard thicker so the mag won't wiggle even more impressive.
