Action and Receiver: Built for Speed and Precision

This SOLUS Short Action is built on the Remington 700 short action footprint and features a 3-lug bolt head with dual ejectors and a 60-degree bolt throw. The “cock on lift” bolt design reduces bolt manipulation effort in follow-up shots, while the 60-degree throw delivers fast, positive cycling ideal for competition strings. The receiver includes an integral 20 MOA top rail for immediate optic cant and elevation capacity straight out of the box, and each rifle carries a sub-MOA precision guarantee for consistent, match-grade performance.

Chassis and Ergonomics

The receiver assembly is installed on Aero Precision’s SOLUS Competition Chassis in a pistol configuration. The chassis pairs a matching pistol grip stance with a rear Picatinny stock/brace mount that includes an integrated QD sling mount for rapid transitions and secure carry. That combination makes the rifle compact without sacrificing modularity.

Barrel, Magazine and Caliber

This model is chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 12-inch threaded barrel and ships with one 10-round Magpul AICS magazine. The short, threaded barrel keeps the balance point forward of the action and offers simple suppressor or muzzle device integration. 6.5mm Creedmoor remains a top choice for precision shooters due to flat trajectories, efficient ballistic coefficients, and manageable recoil that aids follow-up shot speed and sight picture recovery.

Applications and Tactical Considerations

As a pistol-configured short action in 6.5mm Creedmoor, this SOLUS build excels in competition, short-range precision work, and roles where a compact, accurate package is required. The 3-lug bolt and dual ejectors improve reliability during rapid cycles, and the integrated 20 MOA rail removes the need for extra cant bases. The included Magpul AICS magazine and threaded barrel add practical value for match or field use.
