The heart of the Solus product line is the Solus Short Action. This product serves as 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 being held each Solus Action gets inspected by CMM (coordinate measuring machine) in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Our Prefit 1MOA accuracy guarantee is 3 rounds at 100 yards with quality ammo and a skilled shooter. Like anything X-Caliber makes, we stand behind it 100%. If you do not think your barrel can shoot 1MOA groups or less, we will have you ship it back. We will inspect the barrel. If the barrel fails, we will build you another barrel and ship it to you at no cost. If the barrel passes all tests, it will be shipped back to you at your expense.

For more information about our 1MOA accuracy guarantee and the conditions that apply, please refer to our FAQ or Conditions Pages.

*NOTICE REGARDING 6MM CHAMBERINGS: Some SAAMI 6mm chamberings, such as 6mm ARC, 6mm Creedmoor and 6 PRC, might experience projectiles sticking in the freebore of the chamber's throat if the projectiles are at or exceed maximum-SAAMI projectile diameter specifications of .2433-.2434" (depending on chambering).  It has been noted in some instances that Hornady brand projectiles in 6mm can oftentimes be right at the maximum limit for what SAAMI specifications call for, and while safe to fire assuming the load adheres to SAAMI specifications, may experience projectile-sticking when extracting unfired rounds until the barrel has had 100+ rounds fired through it.

All Bolt action receivers must be shipped to your FFL or picked up in Kenly, NC.  NO exceptions.
