Aero Precision Solus Bolt Action Review Part 1.

An in depth view of the new Aero Precision Solus Bolt action Receiver. I try and point out every aspect of this new Bolt action receiver.

[@MikeHale-p4x]

I am a beginner and appreciate the detailed analysis instead of you reading me their marketing material.

[@BG-gr7fh]

Thanks for the detailed overview, will be watching for part ll

[@phlydude]

I guess this didn't get the clicks...no part 2 that I can find

[@jturner5227]

Did you do a second video? Good video.

[@scottupatree3356]

Great context, goin to the next video!

[@blugrassmaniac]

I picked one up the other day for 650$! I’ll buy five more for that price and for what you get!

[@jcoolhand5]

Appreciate the video breakdown and review. Looking forward to the next video. Have you had a chance to check how concentric and true the threads are to the bore line?

[@alanmeyers3957]

These things should be done on a custom action, should they not?

[@jcoolhand5]

@@alanmeyers3957 Yes. All the big name custom actions come trued. That's why I asked if Aero was doing it at this price vs Stiller, Surgeon, Defiance, etc.

[@christittle1131]

It’s like tikka on inside.For $899 wow! Zermatt prefit available.

[@Braunschweiger89]

Great vid. Looking at this from a budget build standpoint. They just had halloween sale where everything was 20% off. I should've snagged one. The area around recoil lug where it's recessed I agree is an issue. Maybe revisions will be made. Something I think Aero should be made aware of. Overall looks like a nice action and like that zermatt origin prefits will work with it. Thanks for the info!

[@InkwellFoto]

Hope you got it on Black Friday, I paid 750 shipped for a barreled action.

[@Braunschweiger89]

@@InkwellFoto I’m broke. I couldn’t afford one even with the sale. Wish I had some funds I would’ve snagged a complete rifle for 1250

[@gregoryholliday6017]

If your able to build cheaper than purchase let us know.

[@InkwellFoto]

@gregoryholliday6017 near impossible lol. I got a Solus 308 action, Woox Furiosa Ultra chasis, Triggertech Diamond pro curved trigger, Badger Ordnance Condition One MAX 34mm mount and a Primary Arms PLx 6-30 (I have a more appropriate 3-18 as well).I'm at around 4k so far

[@REDNECKROOTS]

Remindes me of the terminus Zeus action a lil bit.

[@1clnsdime1]

I have seen the action as cheap as 620. For that it's a deal. For 900 I would rather go with the origin or the ARC CDG. I have seen the complete chassis rifle for 1800, now that is also a killer deal.

[@justice1327]

When is Part II coming and what do you plan on discussing?

[@jacobcastro1885]

Yes.

[@jamesl0822]

Did you ever post a follow up video to this review?

[@apexcustomrifles]

I have not yet, still plan to do it though.

[@Puggernaught24]

When’s part 2 coming out?!

[@apexcustomrifles]

They are actually suppose to be coming out with a cut down lighter weight "hunting" style action. When they are available, I'll grab one and do a second video.

[@Pyreleaf]

#1. Isn't the interchangeable bolt head a feature on the Arctic Warfare? #2. This is probably nitpicking, but I think it's a little disappointing that the 1913 rail is integral, because MDT makes some really cool chassis systems that completely envelop the receiver. #3. Even bigger nitpick: I've kind of been turned on to DLC over nitride as the ultimate high-durability low-friction coating 😅

[@Evan_Macke]

#2 my point exactly. I was holding to purchase a MDT Ess and throw a full rail hand guard on it but would need a taller scope base for it. Can’t do it with the solus

[@Anonymous-oy5jj]

Is the bolt knob removable? Is the bolt handle one piece with the bolt body?

[@InkwellFoto]

How did you uncock it after turning it the wrong way?

[@plrodrig123]

are you able to compare the Solus action against the Seekins Havak action for $1200?

[@apexcustomrifles]

I don't have a Havak action handy. If I get one, I'll for sure update with a review.

[@jahkristjanfari]

This is a question I have as well. I'm 95% of the way sold on a Seekins Havak Hit, but want to see if the Solus sways me

[@plrodrig123]

@@jahkristjanfari the Havak action seems like a better deal than the Solus because it is a switch barrel design. Seekins also provides the open source specs for the barrel tenons. That coupled with the fact that Seekins has had that action out in the field for a while now is a winner

[@jahkristjanfari]

@@plrodrig123 excellent points, thank you! the switch barrel feature is a major selling feature, though i wonder how often i would actually ever swap barrels? i dont know, still a great nice to have though

[@Mike_Y.]

Can you give an update on this one?

[@stetsonspurs4680]

But no “Left hand” Solus actions 😢

[@Bang4TheBuck]

Did you assemble the action? If so, what barrel wrench did you use? I can't seem to get any response from AERO about which wrench is supposed to be use, and how.

[@robertself9125]

I have seen it for $1099.
