The folding stock hinge. They're tinkering with them now. They need to get them out asap, the fixed stock is by far the worst feature of the entire solus system. Fortunately they were planning for the hinge from the outset though.What is the Hinge?

Awesome, yeah, I felt the rigid stock was kind of a pisser when toting it to and from the truck and range. The folder will be nice. I’m glad it will be retrofitting with the original chassis.The folding stock hinge. They're tinkering with them now.

About $1,000How much fancier can you get than a CDG?
The CDG is the most advanced bolt action receiver on the market. It’s a $2000 action for $899. Tell me what’s fancier.About $1,000
I never said otherwise. You know what I was getting at.The CDG is the most advanced bolt action receiver on the market. It’s a $2000 action for $899. Tell me what’s fancier.
I truly don’t.I never said otherwise. You know what I was getting at.
I like mine so far. Cut down to 17” and in a screech owl chassis.
Got to the range today and can say it is the most comfortable compact chassis I’ve used.Every time I see this chassis, it makes me want it more and more. Looks awesome!
Unsure, I would need to look for the thread. I would torque it as listed but make sure you put some anti seize on the threads.So, out of curiosity, has it been determined who this mystery guy is who “has more rounds through a Solus than anyone else and says they’re junk” in Washington State? That was talked about in this thread, but shall not be named, along with all the secret squirrel proof and evidence that us peons are not privy to?
I’m excited about getting my Solus built, but I forgot that on The Hide, you’re not allowed to be excited about scopes that cost less than $1,500 and actions that cost led than a CDG…
John, one question I have… My Solus action wrench says +/- 75 ft. Lbs. on it, but some smiths say 90 for any action. What do you recommend for torquing the barrel on?
Folder just came back from coating for final testing. New bolt heads will drop around shot showMission accomplished!
Any update on the hinge and .440/.378 bolt heads?
Gotcha. It was on a YouTube video that the guy said several big name smiths typically torque their actions to 90, but the wrench says 75. So, I figured 75 was recommended, but was curious as to the validity of the claims that 90 might be better? Didn't know if yall had tried it all the way up to see what worked best in your testing, since it was your design.Unsure, I would need to look for the thread.

Will the magnum LA's be releasing around SHOT as well? I need one for my 7mm PRC build.Folder just came back from coating for final testing. New bolt heads will drop around shot show
Heavy fluting ruins the smoothness of some bolts (like Tikka). One thing I do appreciate about my Impacts is the very light fluting - just enough to be functional and carry debris away.Also, any chance of maybe doing some heavy spiral fluting on the bolts to fancy them up (and lighten them up) a little bit? It gives that custom action appearance.
I was saying, aside from the $1k that seperates the CDG from say, a Defiance, there was basically no difference in the end result.I truly don’t.
oh, well in that case, the CDG is far more advanced than the Defiance.I was saying, aside from the $1k that seperates the CDG from say, a Defiance, there was basically no difference in the end result.
Yea, I like to know this as well since I wanting to build a Norma 300 mag rifle.Will the magnum LA's be releasing around SHOT as well? I need one for my 7mm PRC build.
Yep, and I have Hornady 6.5 CM brass that has been reloaded several times and is still good. I have Lapua and ADG now but I'm not going to toss a 1000 pieces of brass because the internet says it's bad.
@Maurygold and @Tokay444 , I am worried about you two because I think you are both suffering from an anal-cranial-impaction and should get looked at.
I've got cases with 8 firings on them, my avg velocity for my 6.5 CM for the past several years is 2820.Okay but don’t come cry on here when you have case necks split 3 firings in.
Me? Huh?@Maurygold and @Tokay444 , I am worried about you two because I think you are both suffering from an anal-cranial-impaction and should get looked at.
I thought that was weird too. He must not be following the conversation.Me? Huh?
Probably the most embarrassing kindergarten shit I’ve ever read on this forum. Why would you do this to yourself?You aren't entitled to all the details, sorry. Those that need to know already do. But the fact is the action is not where it needs to be, even at the price it’s selling for.
This is why most of the people with the most knowledge and experience do not post on forums. Its all risk and no reward.
Two weeks ago, I said "f it" and picked up one, Bravo stock though. Heavy, yes, love it so far, just wanted an "old school" rifle to enjoy. I do hope they release a .223 version. The only thing bad is more mag related I guess, metal are great, Magpuls had to be tweaked a tad as I had bolt drag and the nose of the Sig Cross followers had to be trimmed down as the bolt lugs would catch on it. Just a tad, maybe 3/32 worth.Decided to resurrect this thread after spending several months with a SOLUS .308 M24 20" version. Long story short, I am impressed how well this factory built rifle performed right out of the box. I was averaging 1/2 MOA with Federal 168 match. The cold bore consistency has been impressive and POA/POI shifts have been non-existent so far. I realize 3-round groups aren't the gold standard, but below is what I'm averaging every range day. The only downside is the M24 barrel is heavy, and the folding stock adapter needs to come out soon (cleaning is a royal pain).
