The good. The bad. But there’s no ugly here!
Thanks to all who watched the first video on the Aero Precision Solus!
Remember, this is a sample size of one for each action and does not necessarily represent every action produced. These thoughts are my personal preferences and observations! Enjoy!
Make sure you see part 1 the first look at the new Aero Precision Solus here
Aero Precision Solus: Is it a Home-run?
youtube/Bhy7nekwdgw
In this video I do a bench top comparison of the Zermatt Origin and the Aero Solus (like the title says).
I go over features of both, likes and dislikes of both, and hopefully provide you with some insight.
Both are identical in price, but very different in features.
Stay tuned for more comparisons at the range!

This was a very helpful comparison. I like the idea of an integral recoil lug and scope mount rail. However, I will choose the smoother action every day of the week. In addition, I built a couple of 308 ARs with Aero Precision bolt carrier groups. Both barrels were from the same manufacturer, but they headspaced differently. As it happened, the AP bolts also headspaced differently so I was able to match each bolt with one barrel and all was good. However, the difference in the bolts was unsettling.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

I prefer a smooth action as well!

@nickmcgee6438 Год назад

waiting for a long term review and your conclusions after running the same barrel on both. Great review!

Still digging the SOLUS. Thanks for making this vid. The SOLUS will no doubt break in and be smooth. I don't like the Aero P response of, "Soon" for the action wrench. I fear they might delay the release until they get enough of their completed SOLUS rifles sold...

@joshs2138 Год назад

I think the lack of break in and the greater surface area of the unfluted bolt is the difference in feel.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

It’s more than that, it’s clunky as well. It has smoothed up a bit, but it bugs me more and more that I play with it lol

@jordanjeanette7672 Год назад

Correct me if I'm wrong but the origin is wire EDM'ed and the solus is not. The other thing to note, fairly certain the solus is 4150 or 4340 (not entirely sure, mainly a guess but my point is it's some sort of chromoly) and the origin, if I remember correctly (been researching quite a few actions because i want one but I'm picky) is 416r stainless. Big difference in terms of surface and smoothness within the action.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

I don’t know if the Solus is wire edm, but my origin was pre stainless so it’s chromoly. The Solus is made from 416 on the receiver and 17-4 on the bolt body. Both are nitrided bolts.

@matt-ts8cx Год назад

I'm liking the solus more than I thought I would. Aero needs to flute the bolt. I'm sure they will improve over time.... for now I have to stick with my Defiance and Impact

@aaroncottle8538 Год назад

Any idea of how precise their alleged tolerances on action to action? I’ve ran several Origins for several years and never had any issue with any of them… but the integral rail and lug are the main selling points of this action (at $800 price point) it seems. Kind of hard to judge it versus a tried and true action in the Origin but I understand you’ve just got it… everyone of my barrels I’ve shot with the Origins I have are shooting .1s w regularity and even in the .0s on occasion so that’s the piece for me that I’m most interested in. Features are all fine and dandy but how it shoots is obviously the biggest factor. I’m interested in hearing your follow up and thank you for the review.

@davidcarroll2908 Год назад

When poeple get into such nuances, you know their clientel is a bit spoiled for the minor differences. what is the price differences in the two, if the two are the same price the best one wins. the amount of work it would take for the buyer to get to the same detail level of the Zermatt after buying would take some valuable time. I like the Zermatt better unless someone can verify the accuracy is worse. Take ruger for instance rough action but the out of the box accuracy in bargin prices cant be beat if you want to buy and go.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

They are identical in price, features vary and will be personal preference. Zermatt is noticeably smoother

@CplSkiUSMC 11 месяцев назад

That's all great, but the bottom line on a precision bolt action is... is it true. If the lugs and bolt face aren't true then it's no better than any factory rifle bolt action.

@ShootingTheBC 10 месяцев назад

I have no way of measuring, but I do know That with modern machining and techniques, I don’t know if any custom action maker that is known for issues with lugs and bolt face being true. That being said, the Solus did seem to have more of a brass mark favoring one side of the bolt face than the other.

@frowe2049 Год назад

I wouldn't call the Solus a Rem 700 clone - it has a Rem 700 footprint. I'd define that as same action screw spacing, trigger, and recoil lug location as Rem 700.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

Ya I’d call it a clone. It’s a 3 lug but still built around all the amazing aftermarket ecosystem of rem700, but the smart move of origin barrel since there is not a standard tight tolerance rem 700 prefit barrel. When you order a stop it will be for a rem 700, when you get a trigger it will be a rem 700. It’s close enough for me to say it’s a clone.

@armeddiver Год назад

Thank you for your review. I did not know that Areo Precision was making a bolt action. I am a huge Areo Precision fan boy. With the exception of two Anderson lower receivers, all of my AR upper receivers and receiver sets, both AR1O and AR15 are Areo Precision. However, all of my bolt actions are Zermatt TL3 actions and based on your review I will be sticking with Zermatt. The TL3 has an integrated recoil lug like the Solus, bolt on picatinny rails, which allows for 0, 20 or 30 MOA rails, removable bolt heads and a variety of bolt knobs. A couple of things I observed in your video that I really don't like are the trigger mounting system and ejection system in the Solus. Again, thank you for doing this review. It was extremely informative.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

Thank you for your kind words! I think that’s a wise choice on your part. I do actually kinda like the trigger hangar system, but I am definitely a fan of the control round feed and mechanical ejector.

@fubar1217 Год назад

I think for about the same price, you're trading features (Solus) vs. refinement (Origin). Hopefully the Solus will wear in over time. It's still a great value either way with all the features they've built in! Thanks for comparing the two!

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

This is exactly my take away! It’s not one better than the other, it’s what you want more.

@jackieonassis7438 Год назад

zermatt is a cheap design, but the machining is flawless and it works. I just don't see spending the money on the Zermatt to end up with no integral recoil lug, no integral rail, and a 2-lug. I am not a fan of bumping my hands into my optic over and over and over, so the 3-lug systems are a no-brainer. I am dissapointed in the Sig Solus not having a fixed ejector pin in the action. Plunger ejectors are stupid in comparison to fixed ejectors in the action in terms of design and function. I think both of these fall short of some of the "square" bottom actions that are much more rigid, such as the Howa action. The floating and swapable bolt head is a no-brainer also. Some people are still hung up on bolts having to be one peice.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

I like the mechanical ejectors but most actions still use plunger style. Zermatt has integral lug and rail, but it comes with a price increase

Seems like a lot of nit picking for unfinished build. Im surprised you dont at least mount on a test stock to compare. I believe the origin is wire EDM cut. Not a lot to go on here as the hunting for things were extremely small. Id wager once on a full build most you might find is one smother than the orher.

@ShootingTheBC 18 дней назад

I built it and dry fired about 500 or more cycles on it. It is definitely nit picking on that regard!

@kassenz Год назад

I'm curious about the Aero too. I haven't started Precision rifle league yet, just started looking into events in my area. Lots of weekend matches in Washington state. I recently bought a Rem 700P M24/M40ish in 300 win mag and shopping for a better optic now too. But the Aero has alot of features. I'd like to build a 6 creed or another rifle with a chassis. Good table top review, good comparison and internal view. I had no idea it was that different than Rem 700. More like a Tikka or Browning style design. Looking forward to seeing your completed build. See how it shoots

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

@ChadCooper03 Год назад

Might want to put some Bore Tech Friction Guard XP oh the bolt and raceways. Paramount Tactical’s channel shows how you can apply it with no residue left over. It’s gun oil with Teflon. Wipe on, wipe off dry. Bet it would be a lot smoother!

@MikeMcCasland27 Год назад

I appreciate the video, and taking the plunge for everyone's benefit. I am curious to see how it breaks in. I have several customs, and even the $1700 ones feel a little rougher than you'd expect out of the box. I'm eager to see how the Solus smooths out over the course of say ~500-1000 rounds.

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

It’s smoothing out already with maybe 300 cycles on it. I haven’t been able to shoot it yet, might have to take it to my gunsmith and have him torque on my barrel for me.

@MikeMcCasland27 Год назад

@@ShootingTheBC eh, I'd just get a barrel vice and an action wrench and do it yourself. With two actions that are threaded identically, you're going to want that setup anyway...then no more need for an ugly barrel nut. I do wonder what type of action wrench this takes. I would assume it would accept a 700 style (like most do), but never know with their bolt design. Good luck regardless, and thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. I know it takes a lot of time. :)

@ShootingTheBC Год назад

@@MikeMcCasland27 I’m glad you enjoyed them! I have a action wrench and barrel vise for my origin. The Solus takes a proprietary wrench that isn’t available yet. My smith has a universal wrench that goes over the outside of the action, that way I could get this to the range before the actual wrench is available. We tried 3 different 3 lug wrenches and none of them worked, then AERO confirmed it was proprietary for me.

@JayNoQuarterReagan 8 месяцев назад

Sounds super gritty on the Solus. I’d rather have a 2 lug as well. I mean you could sit there and mess with the action but makes you wonder how these would perform in dusty situations. Bolts with flutes on them are better in those situations. As much as I love building ARs with Aero Upper lower and hand guards. I’m not sure it’s a go to. I’d rather go with Impact Precision, Zermatt, or on high end Bat Machine. Heck even Kelbly Atlas Tactical would be a good option too. Just a little more in money at a grand but still. The issue is Aero doesn’t make replacement parts with their Solus. Where as Zermatt does. As well as it’s easier to change out Bolt Faces and Solus doesn’t even have that option nor can you get just the bolt as a whole in another face.

@ShootingTheBC 8 месяцев назад

They’re coming out with more and more parts for the solus. I decided to go a different route but I think many will find it fits their bill!

@michaelbukata500 11 месяцев назад

You doubt 25 hundred rounds doesn't make a difference? Bro it's way more worn in

@ShootingTheBC 11 месяцев назад

2500 rds makes a difference yes, but not as much as what I felt. A new origin action is still smooth as glass. The Solus is not the smoothest action, but it’s a great value for the money, just not what I would expect from a custom action is all. I probably dry fired and ran this Solus close to 1000 times. I sat with it in a chassis and a barrel on it and did about 250 dry fire side by side with the origin and it was very noticeable difference. It’s not a ruger American type of rough by any means, but it’s closer to a factory action than a custom action. My tikka is way more smooth as well.

It’s more than the fluting and extra surface area. My tikka im doesn’t have a fluted bolt and it’s very similar to the origin. It’s the bolt and action interface design. If it were as smooths as the origin it wm would be superior, as is I’m not so sure. Like I say I’m the video, or could be personal preference at this point. I didn’t know stiller was 1050-1100, good to know.

I'm guessing part of the smoothness comes from one being used and the other being new. I'm only saying part of it as I by no means know much about bolt action but I am trying to learn.

It’s part of it for sure, but that’s not what I was feeling. My tikka doesn’t have nearly as many rounds and it was better, as is my new coup de grace action

Sure would be nice after having the action 2 months now and A proof barrel yo mount on it that Aero would release a action wrench to torque barrel down so I can finally shoot this build have all the parts Aero chassis and Trigger tech diamond trigger. Waiting waiting send emails to aero but no firm delivery date seems an over sight if we’ll know company with great quality releases an action with no wrench to mount barrel.

I can’t believe they still haven’t got something sent out for action wrenches! I feel like they should have held onto the action and just sold barreled actions and rifles until the wrench was ready.

They release action wrench and it nice for the money, in their webpage under Solus tools.

Of course 2500 rounds will smooth up most actions! Not really a fair comparison.

While I agree, I compared it to quite a few factory rifles at my local store, and it fell between a bergara and waypoint, both of which are not custom level actions. I’ve since gotten the CDG and it blows the solus out of the water in every way!
