Went ahead and snagged a SOLUS action and separately purchased a KRG Bravo (Regular Rem 700 Inlet). With a TriggerTech Special it fits fine, no issues. Also looks like the regular mag latch in the Bravo will work with AW mags and the SOLUS. With one of the lugs at the 6 O'clock position it can...

Pretty sure KRG states Magpul AICS won't work with their Tikka chassis.

Good question, I don't know

If you're a Canadian, take a look at PGW Defense. https://pgwdti.com/ Coyote/Timberwolf, has some history with your military. (No quick change feature) However, it also looks like they have a rifle/barreled action marketed for the civilian market (M15) that runs a traditional barrel nut setup.

With an MSRP of $2,499.99 for the barreled action (includes the trigger), this isn't out of line for a typical high-end custom build. Damn, I kind of want one...

Need to look at bullet's Ballistic Coefficient, not weight

Well you didn't seem to understand some of the basic concepts, so I assumed you were new, my apologies. Then go dasher and enjoy!

Look up popular factory loaded ammunition in both calibers and plug the numbers into the ballistic calculator of your choice. Look a the drop differences out to 1000 yards. This is an easy example that will illustrate why people are recommending it. Hand loading and cherry picking speciality...

Do you reload? If not, stick with a Creedmoor. So many logistical advantages over one of the fancy 6BR based cartridges. Do you want honest advice? Whatever caliber you pick won't make you shoot better. You'll need to put the time in and practice frequently. Making sure you are doing so...

This may help illustrate it for you: Ballistic Coefficient (BC) is the number you should pay attention to not weight. There are lighter bullets that have a higher BC than a heavy bullet and will drift less in the wind. BC is also a function of velocity which is important to remember. Based...

I wouldn't worry too much about barrel life if you're making 10k a day... Accuracy is on the shooter, precision would be the term you're looking for, and I think you'd be hard pressed to objectively prove that the 6mm options you listed have greater precision than the 6.5cm. YOU will be the...

How are you liking the single-shot TL3? I like the idea of being able to fire anything from .223 sized cartridges to short action magnums without having to worry about feeding from a magazine. Are there any hiccups trying to get the smaller stuff into the chamber?

The tools are just something most forget to account for initially, but I agree that they are worth buying and doing yourself. I wouldn't think you'd be missing out on anything by doing it yourself. Side note: PVA's Aero Solus barreled action price seems like a much better deal than the...

Typically buying the barreled action already assembled will usually save you time and money. You failed to factor in the cost of required tools for the assembly process. Barrel Vise/bushings, action wrench, torque wrench, and you should probably also get headspace gauges as a check function. If...

A thread where we ask Koshkin quick questions, to get a quick opinion from him? I'm in! I have one for you: Looking for a "lower cost" option/high value (I know, those terms are a touch cliche) scope for the wife. Use Case/Requirements: - 6.5 CM rifle - 1000 yards and under - At least 16-18...

Fair enough! And I never told anyone to buy one, but I won't tell someone not to buy one. Just trying to get actual information and not hearsay (which is hard to do in the firearm community)

No that is easy to understand and generally good advice. My issue is you have no actual knowledge or experience with the Solus action, but are so dismissive of it. Just seems like regurgitated group-think thought, instead of something with substance. I'm curious to what you think Aero copied...

Which threads and posts specifically? (Genuine question, maybe I missed one) I've gone through and read every thread I could find. You do the same thing in the other ones as well, but you don't actually give many details. In fact, Terry Cross just asked you for more information on one too. If...

Okay why? If you have actual information on it, why would you not mention it? Please enlighten everyone. The "my buddy..." remark isn't worth anything to us.

Keep us updated on your thoughts and the performance of that Solus. I'm considering picking one up for the wife.
