Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

I’m curious about this as well, Ive got an action from the first 1000 and I have a barrel on order but it’ll be awhile before I can even check if there’s a headspace issue with my bolt. Would be great to be able to take care of it prior to the barrel showing up and then having more downtime.
Mine is in the first 500…. So I’m curious, as well.
 
Yes, we are getting the first protos off of the line to start testing and validation. We will also be adding a lightweight version to both short and long action
THAT (LW version) will be nice! I weighed one of mine on my hunting rifle, and it added like 3.5 lbs! I was like, NOPE! I’m not rucking a 12 lbs. rifle anymore. 😂

Are yal going make .223 and Grendel bolt heads?
A Solus Mini action that still fits in a full size 700 SA footprint (think RimX and VooDoo .22’s) that still uses the full size MDT AICS 6 ARC & .223 mags, would be awesome for 6 ARC and 6.5 Grendel. And I would for sure build a bolt-action .223 and .300 BLK out of one! 👍🏼

Other than some reengineering to the bolt pull length and the ejection port size, it would be identical to a regular SA Solus action.

I may have missed the is in another thread, but is a butt stock hinge for your chassis being released at some point?

Id definitely like to see 6 ARC and 223 versions of the Solus as well.

Does anyone know if using a Criterion barrel that I normally would do with the Remage threaded barrel (and nut), would that fit the Solus action. Or would a Savage shanked barrel fit? Also, in the box for just the action it looks like it comes with a barrel nut, correct?

It uses either a Savage Small-Shank with the barrel nut (nut and wrench provided in the box if you buy just the action), or you can have a shouldered-prefit made and headspaced for a Zermatt Origin. Either will work. Personally, I am not a fan of barrel nuts, I much prefer shouldered barrels that are torqued on. But that's just my preference.

No, it will not Remages are a different thread size than savage small shanks, a number of manufacturers, including Criterion, make small shanks, and Zermat Origin prefits.
 
@John.Warren4 Any updated ETA on the magnum LA Solus actions and chassis? I'm needing one for a 24" Proof CF 1:8 twist 7 PRC build... 😏

Also, here's a video of my FDE Solus chassis on my R700 5R .260... I love the way this build turned out. Feel free to like, share, and embed the video if you ever want to use it for something. 👍🏼

Just a heads up that if you buy the bare action the included barrel nut may be undersized. The inside diameter of miy nut is 1.056 and it is too small to fit on two different savage small shank barrels that I have. Outside diameter on one I 1.060 and another is 1.065 so now I need a different nut. I have been unable to reach aero to try to get a replacement from them. Maybe they will see this and address it.
 
BKings firearms has a couple 6.5creed barreled actions for $809. I’ve ordered a few things from them before and it always ships fast. I’ve also emailed them questions and got instant responses. Seems like a great company to work with
Yes BKings Firearms is great to do business with. Very helpful and as you said prompt responses.
 
If anyone is still looking, Primary Arms has actions for $619 in stock right now.

Maybe it was a "doorbuster"

Aero Precision: Our Black Friday Sale is LIVE 🔥 30% OFF SITEWIDE + Deep Discounting on Select SOLUS, Doorbuster Deals, and MORE!

Probably a glitch though. 30off $2149 list is $1504 and 30off $1504 is $1053 which was my total before tax...

Damn,
You lucky bastards! That's like buying the action with a trigger and getting a decent stock, mag and bbl for free.

Can't even get a CTR for that cheap
