Solus action

Built one for a customer and was left thinking some improvements could be made. The radius on the lugs need to be made greater so the bolt closes easier as it is now you have to push the bolt all the way till is stops and then turn down the bolt handle like it's 2. steps unlike a Remington it one smooth motion and also the bolt release rides in a slot cut in the bolt if the slot is not centered the bolt release doesn't want to depress and release the bolt you have to wiggle the bolt handle to get the button to depress. For my money you'll have a hard time beating a Zermatt Origin action and with a interchangable bolt head you can change from .223 to a .473 bolt face caliber in just a few minutes. both actions take Savage prefit barrels or can set up with a shoulder which I prefer.
