Also known as: SOLUS, Aero SOLUS
Overview
The Aero Precision SOLUS is a modular bolt-action precision rifle platform launched in 2023, built around a proprietary 3-lug, 60-degree bolt action with a Remington 700 footprint and interchangeable bolt heads that let it span standard and magnum cartridge families. The flagship SOLUS Hunter complete rifle pairs that action with a 24-inch 416R stainless light-Sendero fluted barrel (1:8 twist, threaded 5/8-24), an adjustable AG Composites carbon-fiber stock, and a single-stage adjustable TriggerTech trigger. It feeds from AICS-pattern detachable magazines and carries a sub-MOA factory accuracy guarantee. Common chamberings include 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and 6.5 PRC.
