I guess my question is what makes them better than their competitors in that price range? I don't doubt they are very good rifles. I'm far from an expert, but I've yet to come across anything other than lighter weight as an advantage. Since I don't really hunt, that has less value to me than something like a Cadex, PGW, or Barrett. I'm always open to learn something new though, if anyone can lay out advantages I'm not aware of.
The rifle won't make much sense if your application doesn't require light weight and ergonomic AR-like controls. The rifle made some sense to me for being the only lightweight, ergonomic, and accurate rifle until sig cross came around...

Thanks, that's a good answer.Casio, Timex, Citizen, Breitling, Rolex. Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Bugatti. Savage, CZ, Lithgow, Vudoo, Zermat.... Cooper.... Gunwerks... same as everything in life. For everything that is cheap there is going to be a "boutique" type item for the other guy. Sweet rifle.
So not a SINGLE person can answer my question?
The last example is horrible btw, I can name a plethora of things that are better on a Mercedes than a Kia.. that is the price increase, with some of the name.. but there is something tangible.
I can’t find one single thing this gun brings to the table that is better than the MPR or Cross and both are way cheaper, one half the price..
Maybe OP could enlighten us ?

The MPR is just there Remington 700 footprint in a lightweight chassis with a lightweight barrel (nothing groundbreaking). Reading on here will show some barrel problems from some trustworthy members, and with the warranty problem they voiced I would avoid one.
The Sig Cross and the Q both have the action machined directly into the chassis, so that is one difference. The Q takes AR10/SR25 Mags while the Cross takes AICS.
This was really the only choice until the Sig Cross became announced. However, the Sig Cross has not made it out in the world enough to have enough reviews for anyone to answer if The Q is worth the price increase. However the Q has lots of positive reviews out there, so you can take the gamble on the Cross or buy the Q with more confidence I guess?
Personally, if it wasn't for the Cross being around the corner I would be buying this instead. For the savings, I will be a Guinea Pig for the Cross when it lands and hope for the best. I want to use this rifle and not baby it, the MPR being mostly Carbon and the FIx being a Beautiful expensive gun would make me shy away from using it the way I want.
The CA MPR is still a chassis built around a rem 700 action. To bring the entire rifle's weight down to under 7lbs requires weight saving on the chassis, carbon wrapped barrel etc. Some people don't like the concept of carbon wrapped barrel and it seems like some other people on different forums have had problem with the build quality of MPRs. Plus, that rem 700 action does not allow a AR-type selector safety.
Now when it comes to the Fix vs. Cross I personally feel it's like a boutique vs. big box store type of deal where the fit and finish on the Fix is going to be a bit better than that of the Cross. And that is why I, a person who does not have a huge budget, decided to opt for the Cross. Folks with higher budget would choose the fix for its better finish, Q's reputation, and the cool factor of the blue accent.
Edit: Exactly what cwblackwell said.

I really want to like it, but to me it looks like it hasn't left the prototype stage. Just seems unfinished and doesn't look like a rifle in its price range. I'm sure it's a great shooter though as the reviews state.

Will you be or are able to import the Side Chick Remington 700 chassis by Q?
Yes... in all the examples fit/finish/quality is the difference. Chill out grumpy bear. I never said all where equal. Look up some reviews in another tab. Buy a Cross. Enjoy it. Smile a bit. I would like a Q, but for the cost difference... Cross it is. If they prove to be good.
Cheers
X2 on the Side Chick.

Actual measured length with the stock folded is just over 26 inches. If anyone wants more info on what these rifles are, and why they command the price they do, check out the “Deep Dive” videos on this platform by “Kit Badger” on YouTube. These are extremely well built, very accurate, and very light weight.
And yes, I own one.

Oh I’m not grumpy, I have no problem spending good money on a quality rifle, as I have numerous times. I was very intrigued by this gun initially, wanted to give it a whirl but the price made me do a double take, then I honestly couldn’t find the reason for the substantial difference and was hoping someone knowledgeable here could enlighten me as I’m far from an expert but half moa groups out of The MPR would be a tall order to beat.
