PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

[Douglas-001]

So while I originally was ready to move with a Tikka, (thanks again to all who offered advice) I stumbled across this deal yesterday. I planned on dropping it into a KRG and finding a good scope. It's going to be a little over my budget but it will slowly come together. I read about the Osprey barrel on their website but does anyone know how big a difference there is between that and the OEM barrel? Specs on the tube are 24" and MTU profile. Also run a can on it. As always, I appreciate any insight from fellow goon squad members....

That’s a very good question, I want to say they are possibly using rock creek barrels but I’m probably wrong. Hey @bohem you care to shine some light on this question.

All the current black Friday sale prefits use Osprey blanks.

You're right, I misread his post.

Not sure what the oem barrel is, or who made it, but I've got one on my 22creed solus deal and it hammers 75eldm@3450 into dimes.

If it says OEM barrel I would assume they are referring to the Aero OEM which is Ballistic Advantage.

Didn’t know BA was the supplier for them, but makes sense. I’m just a little confused since I’ve never heard of the supplying barrel blanks to smiths to spin up.

BA/Aero are owned by the same folks. BA produces both blanks and pre-fits. Just my assumption.

I knew they were the same group and did the barrels for Aero in regard's to the AR platform, but it slipped my mind they would also be the ones doing the work for the bolt action stuff.
