Solus Short Action Receiver
The heart of the Solus product line is the Solus Short Action. This product is the keystone in an ecosystem that provides shooters with an open-source, user-configurable, and quality-manufactured foundation for their precision bolt action build. Compatible with industry-standard pre-fits and drop-in components, the Solus removes many barriers to entry often associated with custom rifle builds, allowing the shooter to build a system that is specific to their needs. When manufacturing a custom bolt action, quality and consistency are essential. To ensure the most precise tolerances are held, each Solus Action is inspected by CMM (coordinate measuring machine) in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
