    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    No argument here. I was just trying to come up with a reason why that choice was made. Was it an egnineering solution looking for a problem or just some engineer got tired of having to pull 300 blackout cases out of the raceway? I laugh to myself thinking about it.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Yes, I guess the leverage would be more but the travel of the lever arm (cartridge base) would be less. In my mind I was equating the further travel of the lever arm with more leverage. So the question would be why. Two springs would overcome the loss of leverage from moving them. I can only...

    Sounds like Mexico is looking to make a trade for one of their high level criminals, similar to the wnba deal with Russia. Random recycled pic for thread.

    I still don't get it. The spring loaded ejectors are the fulcrum. I guess I don't understand the physics of it.

    How do people not know about cheddarwursts? I literally have 3 different brands in my freezer. Two jalapeno cheddar and a white cheddar variety. Sometimes I forget how sad the food scene is outside of Wisconsin.

    It's funny how many times they have tried to reinvent the 6.5×52mm Carcano. 130 years old and designed for long bullets. You'd think now that we know JFK was smoked by a 221 fireball from an xp100, it would be time for a resurgence of the 6.5 Italian round.

    My apologies, I was under the impression that pre-orders had started, though it may have been turned off. Here is the thread on it for anyone interested and I'll stop derailing this thread...
