    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    They just released the magnum Solus actions. I called to see i could get just the magnum bolt head and they said no had to buy the whole action. I told them I already had 3 standard Solus action and just wanted a mag bolt head. I then asked if they planned on selling the bolt heads separately at...

    6.5 Grendel

    I run the 97gr absolute hammers in my 12.5” Grendel at 2500fps (mild load) to kill pigs and get full pass throughs, I was using the 123sst at 2280fps but even at 15 yards they would go into the vitals and stop on 250-300lb boars even without hitting the shoulder plate. Then their fat would seal...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I backordered mine from stockys. Only took about 2 weeks to get but maybe I got lucky

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    The scope is mounted pretty far back in that pic because I had the barreled action in a stock with a 2” longer lop that didn’t fit me

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    The glass is great. I like it as a lightweight hunting scope that is short, with low profile tactical turrets. It’s a FFP FMA-2 recticle. The floating center dot is perfect for my eyes, like it much better than cross hairs. Also along with the tapered post really helps your eye find the center...

    Anyone Using A Solus With AW Mags?

    I’ve been running a Areo Solus Comp Rifle in 6creed, a with AW,AICS, and the PMag it comes with. All have ran smooth with zero issues. Ran about 100 rounds so far mostly with AW mags.

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    1/17 twist at 2900 will stabilize a 125gr flat base BR bullet but will it with a Nosler 125BT boat tailed bullet? Because it shows a stability factor of 1.0 which doesn’t look ideal but I’ve never loaded and shot anything with a stability factor that low so I’m not sure how they would shoot...

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    Il pm you, not sure if it’s allowed to post links from other forums. But I assume he was using the 35gr hammer hunter. As he stated the bullet min twist requirement was 1-14.

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    22CM would be the easy button. Run 35-50gr bullets in the upper 4000 range. Only way I see a a 22-243 to be worth it is by improving it to get the extra capacity. Other wise it will be similar to the 22creed. There is a guy on another forum running hammer monos out of a 6.5 twist 22creed AI a...

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    ??? 26” 300Rum will only push 125s at 4100-4200fps. A 125BT won’t even be close to stable in a 1-20” twist.

    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    At least they responded to you. I understand things take time. Ive got a few other builds in the works so I don’t mind putting the magnum build on the back burner for now or just getting a 22creed barrel for it.

    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    Picked up a competition Solus in 6creed today since they were out of the 6.5 creeds and bought another action and chassisfor a magnum build. Does anyone know where I can find a magnum bolt head? I emailed areo Monday since I couldn’t find a phone number and still haven’t got a response back. I...

    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    I felt one of these the other day, pretty smooth and very light bolt lift after releasing the FP. Thinking about buying one in 6.5creed and selling my 260. Really liked the action for the price.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I run a 16” 30/06 but for 400max I’d just go with a 308.
