I'd revise what you said to "When they optimize one side, they compromise the other if they stay at the same price point". As @wind gypsy said, BAT Bumblebee/Lone Peak Fuzion Alpine/Impact NBK/Terminus Apollo all look a bit better. They'll also feel better and perform just as well or better. But their pricepoint starts at $1,450.
Not to be truculent, but one still must buy a trigger and barrel at that price. I suppose if one has many rem 700 components and wants a non-standard cartridge, it could pencil out. That just seems fringe, and increasingly fringe at this weight.
That is interesting. Being a 60 degree, I would expect heavier bolt lift than the typical 90's. Guy in my squad last weekend had one that I fondled for a minute. Didn't fire it, but it felt pretty impressive for the price point. He loved his. HOWEVER, I did not see it, but talked to the match director who had to punch a case out for a shooter than broke the extractor on his Solus. Not sure if he got it fixed or had to head home early.
Ive been waiting on a short action lightweight solus warranty replacement since february… getting tired of waiting
Thats a long wait. What was wrong with it?
Originally a headspace issue then they ended up having a material recall and are still in the testing phase of the new material. At this point I told them just swap it out for the obsidian full rail action.
Yes, I had to wait for the material issue to be resolved, too. I received the action about 3 weeks ago.
Dang, I was told there is no update and no eta on the lightweight actions. Surprised any have shipped out already
