Oh, that does make the full rifle a better deal than the barreled action+bravo section
Wow, $600 off!! Thx!!!I’m guessing everyone knows, however, if not a fantastic deal is happening on complete rifles right now.

Coupon code "Solus10" brings the standard rifle down to $1065 and the competition is $1400
I don't feel a solus barreled action is better than a ctr. I have a few solus action, hand full off tikkas, and have tried most the Remington clones on the market from $2k bat actions to budget end. The solus is a budget piece. I'd you can afford a lil more cheese, go with a CDG or origin.I’m not sure how you could beat this price for a rifle that’s arguably better than even a Tikka CTR.
If I had the spare coin I’d buy one to put in the back of the safe just to have it.
I’ve been buying too many spare AI parts
The action is a dumb place to blow cash anyways. Barrel, then trigger, glass/chassis, then the action. It's the least impactful upgrade.
Ha! That's truly laughable. Triggers are cheap, that action, you have to get hands on and manipulate for every single round fired. 99% of barrels from the top manufacturers will outshoot the guy pulling the trigger. If the action didn't matter at all, we'd all be shooting Remington 700s and savages. Thinking they're all created and perform equally, that's like saying all has sedan autos are the same. They all do the same thing, however the feel, fit and finish, fire control, bolt manipulation all vary model to model. Run enough different models, you'll quickly notice there's a feel and feature set you gravitate to.
You can buy an Aero Solus action, put it in a rifle and shoot it. Then replace it with a Bat action and barrel differences aside, you won't suddenly be able to group any better than you could before.
I didn't say it didn't matter at all. I just said it was the least significant upgrade in terms of accuracy of the rifle per dollar spent. You would be way better off spending the grand plus you save buying an Aero action vs a Bat machine quality action on other upgrades.
Liking it more wont make you shoot better. Only practice does that. Spend your money on ammo and barrels was the point.
That's not what he said. GTFO with your strawman arguments.
The code saves $600 off a complete rifle (Bravo or Competition chassis; Hunter is OOS). Only works on one rifle per cart.
It's a shitty attempt at a mass produced commodity action. Aero is a pump and dump company who sells to ignorants.
No he hasn't, and if he has, and still claims that, he's absolutely lying about everything he's telling you. He has some massive bug up his ass about Aero, and has been bitching about the Solus since before they ever got released, claiming these same pile of shit ignorant drivels about it, and claiming some buddy of his has "shot more rounds through one than any man alive, and says it's a POS..." typical internet Fuddlore bullshit.
I'm not saying it didn't happen... I'm well aware 90% of the shit in the world doesn't make it to the interwebz, but what I'm saying is, this is far from the norm. The factory barrels seem to be hit-or-miss (pun intended), but the actions are not bad at all.
You know whats funny Frank, One of the guys who shoots aero is the same dude who was told by the owner of DD that his 6 creed barrels last 5K rounds. Back when DD was paying PRS $50K a year to be the "official rifle of the PRS", despite no one actually shooting them in comps. I think he offered to send him a gun to test, not sure if it ever happened. He was actually mentioned on one of your podcasts if you remember the cameo thing from a year or two ago where they kicked someone out.
Eat a fucking dick dude. I never once said it was the best thing ever or superior to anything, other than factory actions. As a matter of fact, there’s many times I’ve stated that it’s NOT superior to many other more expensive actions, learn to fucking read before running your cockholster. Nor did I ever say that about OCL or Dead Air. Fuck off.
Here’s a 10 shot group from my Solus 6.5C at 202yd with OEM barrel. I’m quite content with its performance. Sample of one, but I don’t have any of the feed issues the angry commenter has raised. Bolt was reasonably smooth out of the box, and now after maybe 1000 rounds is quite enjoyable.
Yeah, I missed that deal last year by like 15 minutes because work got me sidetracked... But I was able to snag one a few weeks ago all-in for $1,450, so I'm not upset about it. They're waiting on triggers before they can ship them... I told the guy I was just going to snatch it as soon as I got it home anyway, but he said their system won't let them ship it without being complete, so I'm still waiting on it to ship out. And apparently there was an issue with the Solus Pistol .300 BLK barrels, so I'm now over 3 months on that wait...And counting down.
