Dang it, Caleb. This is EXACTLY the video series I did not need to see. Lol. I've been fighting off the urge to build a nice bolt action rifle. I guess there's no fighting it now.
It’s so unbelievably frustrating that there are no affordable rifle actions available. It’s cheaper to buy a Remington 700, savage, or Howa and get a custom barrel, that it is to just buy an action.
Just a quick note about the Proof Pre-Fit barrels. Proof research guarantees the head spacing of their barrels to the action. The only thing they don’t guarantee is where the caliber etching will end up but in my experience they are always close.
There are several barrel makers that guarantees the headspacing of their barrels to custom actions nowdays. I have a CarbonSix Carbon fiber barrel in 6.5PRC on order right now and they Guarantee .5 inch MOA w/ load development of their barrels. Other barrel makers are getting the action info from the custom action makers and getting the headspace near perfect for custom builds.
The Savage barrel nut system makes it super easy to put together an amazingly accurate rifle, without having to take it to a gunsmith for chambering and installation. With a set of go/no go gauges, I got a Savage pre-fit from Shilen, and put it on a Savage 110 tactical action, in 6mm creedmoor. Shoots lights out!! 115 grain DTAC’s with H4350 can stack shot after shot right on top of each other!
6 months ago I was going thru forums trying to learn how to build a light weight precision rifle. I was doing my head in with the amount of information I was getting. This video is a blessing and has gotten me back on track into building a long range 6.5 creed. Thank you guys!!!
Looking forward to this series. Built my first Remage a couple years ago. Been looking at that Solus for awhile. Want to see what mistakes I made the first time.
The amount of interchangeability and adjustability appears amazing! Is there a way to do a video showing how/if the tolerance stack-up between parts compares to an action like a factory Remington or Savage action and a precision action like a Stiller, PT&G, or BAT?
I wish the CC matched what was being said. Good info though. I wish Aero would introduce a left handed version. I would have one in my collection if so.
How refreshing to see a video with such a clean-cut young man. Without going back through all three videos (about 1.5hrs total), will you provide a build list of all the components for this build with prices (as-built)? Also, a list of the specialty tools you used and their prices. It may be above my pay grade, but I won't know unless I ask. Thanks for doing a great on all your videos.
I need all the pointers I can get, I have a Remington 700 LA 300WM, and trigger assembly. Now I need an accurate medium contour barrel and a good stock to finish the build. I absolutely refuse to use the heavy barrel it came with, it’s ridiculously heavy.
I thought the reason for the no-go gauge is to make sure the bolt doesn't close on it, otherwise the chamber would be worn out, or the barrel isn't made right.
Yippy’ another 6.5cm build 🥱 I’ll wait for the long action to be available so I can disassociate myself from the 6.5’er vs 308’er hater groups. Seems like a waste of money to build a 5k short action that will barely outperform a ruger american or savage axis build. Juss sayin……
This might be a dumb question, but I'm also a new lurker. Is there anywhere I would have to go to get newly made parts for k31? I don't want to mess with historical pieces. So, if possible, I'd rather try and have a whole new one made with more modern parts.
it really is very easy to assemble AR15, and firearms like this one. once you do it once, you'll kick yourself over not having done it sooner (aside from the cost aspects of course). I highly recommend giving it a try with firearms like these. They're very easy to build.
When you buy a serialized action or lower, are they already designated as a pistol or rifle. I'm asking because I'm considering a bolt action pistol build.
Receivers are neither rifle or handgun, they are ‘Other’ and the caliber is listed as ‘Multi’, as they could potentially be chambered in virtually any caliber.
@@bartrice8278 hopefully they offer long actions soon. I really want to build such a rifle in some larger calibers. Already have rifles in 6.5 and .308.
As a “built not bought” type of guy, its depressing to see the price of the action and bolt. 900 chucks, if it was 5 or 6 I’d be all over it already, 700 I’d think about it, anything over that just doesn’t make sense. It will be cheaper and better value to just buy the rifle from aero then do what you need to do it..
With out any Brownell links this video is a bit useless. Finding parts about the build on their web site sucks and since your selling Brownells and we know it give us all a break and provide quick links to help buy the parts.
@@gilangus2453a machinist produces the parts needed for a “build” by machining the parts you need to a particular spec….once you receive all the machined and finished parts, you can build the final product in which the parts were machined for….your acting like no one builds anything because they didn’t do it the process from start to finish…..if I built a deck would you actually argue that I didn’t build it because I didn’t cut the trees and turn the logs and cut the lumber….
@@brownellsI sometimes question the mental capacity that some gun owners have and wonder if their capable of safely operating their firearms without earning a Darwin Award
@Chato4570 its a $900 action, chassis that average $1500, $1,000 barrells, triggers running $300 to $500, not including accessories and scopes yet so your watching a $5,000 rifle build for the home do it yourselfer who would prefer to say they "built" their own rifle. You can buy a complete Aero Precision Solus rifle for 2000 to 2500
@@it_is_what_it_is_brothaexaggerate much? The receiver is $800 - at the low end for what it is. You can buy a barreled action for $1,100 and a complete rifle for $2,000.

Heck I recently got a Ruger M77 Hawkeye for less and that’s a darn good rifle. A lightly used Winchester Model 70 might cost $1,300, so you’re not doing this to save money.

Damn I've been wondering this exact question for a bit. I'm not sure I can afford to watch this video.
Only gets worse as you get into long range🤣🤣🤣
The struggle is real braten.
I was just thinking the exact same thing
How about a 22 arc barrel ?
Hahaha..
I know exactly what you mean...lol

@@davidwarren3433 is there any advantage going with a prefit? or is it still a risk
@@krullux2042they wouldn’t accept the “risk” of being sued if they weren’t proven to be safe. Use your go/no-go gauges.
The aftermarket for the 700 is really something. It truly is the small block chevy of rifles.
Which is saying something, because factory 700s are dreadful.
@@LynnJynh9315 so are small block chevys. But it's a good foundation.

Nice Caleb. Holy cow, all those stocks are awesome. I am looking forward to the build
Will y’all be including a parts list?
i just got a proof 6gt prefit on my solus action and it headspaced perfect.
Most of the time they do!

Great video....well done Brownells
Yes! This is Exactly a series I need!
I would use a Boyd’s stock I love a thumb hole laminate stock
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you for sharing.
Finally, people are applying AR15 concepts to other weapon types.
Im trying to figure out what action i can use for a .300 blackout build
Me too brother… any finds yet or info u could pass along would be very helpful… thanks
I wish the CC matched what was being said. Good info though. I wish Aero would introduce a left handed version. I would have one in my collection if so.

i really appreciate this video. thanks
Last 3 chasis sold me
Awesome. Looking real forward to this series. Solus looks real nice.
Have been using the triggertech primary in my creedmoor and switch to the diamond and all I can say it’s far superior and well worth the pricetag
I need all the pointers I can get, I have a Remington 700 LA 300WM, and trigger assembly. Now I need an accurate medium contour barrel and a good stock to finish the build. I absolutely refuse to use the heavy barrel it came with, it’s ridiculously heavy.
I thought the reason for the no-go gauge is to make sure the bolt doesn't close on it, otherwise the chamber would be worn out, or the barrel isn't made right.
You'll see in the next video, it's important regardless, especially with savage style barrels.
I agree he mixed himself up on that bit. Go gauge bolt closes, No-Go the bolt doesn't close. He corrected himself in the next video.
It really sucks that Aero doesn’t offer a long action magnum action. I want to build a 7mmPRC
Can’t you shim a barrel that won’t close on the go gauge or does that destroy accuracy?
Looks like fun but I will need to win the lottery to afford this one.
Yippy’ another 6.5cm build 🥱 I’ll wait for the long action to be available so I can disassociate myself from the 6.5’er vs 308’er hater groups. Seems like a waste of money to build a 5k short action that will barely outperform a ruger american or savage axis build. Juss sayin……
if i were to build a .308 bolt in a 1500 howa chasis what bolt carrier should i go for?
Caleb is like a kid in a candy store with this stuff. LOL
so are we. he's exactly the kind of person needed to share such stuff with others.
Of all the stocks that you mentioned, are they all compatible with the barrel, nut and trigger hanger? Or do some need to be modified?
This might be a dumb question, but I'm also a new lurker. Is there anywhere I would have to go to get newly made parts for k31? I don't want to mess with historical pieces. So, if possible, I'd rather try and have a whole new one made with more modern parts.
I like the kit, but I will have somebody else put together. I am not good at that. Thank you for the info I’ll find out more about it.

Proof is making a pre-fit specifically for this action now
I'd want a "pre-64" Winchester action, or something very much like it!
I've got enough "push-feed" guns already 😢
does anyone have a suggestion for a light weight and inexpensive 308 or 6.5 creed barrel for the solus?
Great Stuff '' 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Do the actions come in true LH config?
I don't think they do cuz I looked it up
You know what I think I'll just buy a bolt gun lol I was considering building
Is the Solus a standard action or has it been built with accuracy in mind?
When you buy a serialized action or lower, are they already designated as a pistol or rifle. I'm asking because I'm considering a bolt action pistol build.
Receivers are neither rifle or handgun, they are ‘Other’ and the caliber is listed as ‘Multi’, as they could potentially be chambered in virtually any caliber.
AICS REM. 700 stock?
Provide a parts list!!!!!
Any chance of running a 7prc through the solus?
Not currently. The 7 PRC requires a long action and the Solus is offered only in a short action as of right now.
@@bartrice8278 hopefully they offer long actions soon. I really want to build such a rifle in some larger calibers. Already have rifles in 6.5 and .308.
As a heads up, the closed captioning is out of sync. For example, while the video shows triggers, the text is talking about optics and mounts
6mm Creedmoor?
“Left hand” Aero Precision Solus Actions!
#AeroPrecisionSolus #Lefthand
dig it
One of the longest videos. And, just in time for holiday shopping.
Are we not going to talk about the AT4 in the safe lol
Terminus Zeus, trigger tech diamond, mpa matrix chassis, and a custom heavy contour barrel… .2 or less at 100.
Sweet, this is the next thing I wanted to do while I wait for the "assault weapons🤣🤣" ban to be ruled UC in Washington.
Seems a majority of the actions out there are short action. Makes it tough for those of us who want long action.
As gas operated guns are continually under attack, it may not be a bad idea to own a bolt gun.
Bolt guns are gas operate too. Gasses push the bullet out the end of the barrel.
Wouldn't be soul less if you painted it? My .02
Can i get open box discounts on those? Lol
As a “built not bought” type of guy, its depressing to see the price of the action and bolt.
900 chucks, if it was 5 or 6 I’d be all over it already, 700 I’d think about it, anything over that just doesn’t make sense. It will be cheaper and better value to just buy the rifle from aero then do what you need to do it..
