- A new gun! What kind of gun did I get? I decided it was time for a new rifle, possibly for a new discipline, but that is still undecided. Let's take a look at the rifle, or at least it's parts.

You know our flags colors are red ,white and blue !!!
Whats that disrespectful blue line crap hanging behind you ???
Thanks for the comment...that disrespectful (to you) blue line is in honor of my brothers and sisters in law enforcement who have fallen in the line of duty.
👍👍Thanks Halfmile, looking forward to seeing a completed project.
You and me both! Thanks for watching.
Very nice ! Look foward to a series.
More to come! I appreciate you watching Charles.
So much fun putting rifles together. Sweet setup and your going to love that trigger I have the same one on my 7 prc. I will be looking forward to range day!
I'm looking forward to my first range day with this rifle myself.
Half mile i.shoot 6mm creed for long range it shootes in .27 groups been.out to 1590yards has 7 by 35.scope love this calib i was shooting 7prc but.its so easy to.see your hits with.6 creed i.could not on.7prc..enjoy
That makes me feel good on the 6mm choice, the 7 PRC has to buck more than my 6.5 PRC I sure.
@@Halfmilesniperboth calb feel same with suppressed..
Have 3 7prc guns all 3 under .40 groups
@@Halfmilesniperi.shoot trigger teck triggers 2 lbs on.target and 2.5 on my 20 20 waypoint in 7prc
@@jamessammann9183 nice...I like it when the rifles post half inch a smaller.
Hi Halfmile , sorry it's been a while , I've been ill so I'm now playing catch up. I've got quite a lot to watch including loads of WTW videos , sadly I missed the latest Live video but i'll catch up soon . It looks like Your going to have a tack driver if that nice heavy barrel with it's lovely deep lands and grooves performs as well as it looks ,and It should take a good few shots before it starts getting to hot . I look forward to seeing the completed item and groups You can get with it .
Catch You next time . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.
Hope you have a quick recovery Richard. I think you're correct that the new rifle may be a tack driver...I've said it several times since scoping the bore - that is the cleanest cut bore I have ever seen.
well, this will be fun to watch along the way
It is actually fun putting this together...next video we make some big headway.
Great start to an awesome rifle build. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving holiday! Take care!!
We did have a good Thanksgiving, hope you did as well. I think I'm going to like this rifle, can't wait to get my chassis, glass and bipod.
Look forward to upcoming videos! I’ve been wanting to build a 22 creed off the solus action!
Sounds like a nice one...hope you can get one put together soon. I am currently editing part 2...and prepping for videoing part 3.
@ have you got you a chassis picked out?
@@matthewkissick4045 originally I was going to go with an Aero chassis...changed my mind after pricing, lol, and went with another MDT Oryx...that will be in part 3 of this series.
@ I know the pricing for these chassis are border line robbery
@@matthewkissick4045 The Solus chassis is priced way too high in my opinion. I went with the MDT Oryx, and will have a video on that chassis soon.
Hey Halfmile I missed the chat last night not feeling well the past few days sinuses messed up bad.
Hope the sinuses didn't mess up your Thanksgiving plans, and I hope they clear up soon.
For glass you need to go check out the Athlon Ares ETR in (my opinion) 4.5-30X56. I'm looking forward to this series to find out how you like the Solus. I've heard really good things about them but I don't know if they're all as honest about things as you are. If you could find an affiliation on Expert Voice, the Ares ETR has an amazing price right now!
I snagged a Vortex Venom 5x25 for a smoking Black Friday deal. Too good to pass up.
@@Halfmilesniper that's awesome brother.
This could get expensive. Don't ask me how I know, I just know.
I may have lived that getting into pistol competition...people are floored when I tell them what my "travel box" of comp guns is worth, lol. Someone recently asked my if it was cheaper to build my own gun, lol...I said nope...but I get what I want.
yep
@@Halfmilesniperyou can fix a rifle like you want it building it yourself I may try one soon. Bolt action for me though
Thanksgiving present 🤣🤣🤣👋👋👋
Nice
@@JCJustice-kv2gy Thanks JC, hope you and the Missus had a great Thanksgiving!
If you put some drywall paper tape around your barrel it should allow you to clap tight enough
I was using barrel jaws...and that piece of cardstock from the action box. Could not get enough bite with the jaws so I sprang for a nice 4 bolt barrel vise. That an dthe cardstock worked great, but that is in the next video.
I have 2 Solus actions and a 3rd on the way. They all shoot great, smooth, and reliable.
I chambered my 1st SOLUS in 6GT using a Bartlein barrel. It shoots like a laser beam. I just rebarreled it with a H&S Precision barrel cause I got a great deal on it. My gunsmith inspected the SOLUS action and the lugs had almost now wear after 2500+ rounds. IMhO the SOLUS action is a solid action that should not be overlooked.
My 2nd SOLUS action has the Obsidium finish and is chambered in 6.5PRC with a Bartlein barrel. It also operates a smooth as butter and shoots like a laser beam.
My 3rd SOLUS will be a 6.5Creedmoor with an Aero Precision barrel. The reason I gotten Aero barrel instead of spinning another Bartlein was that I shot a SOLUS with the Aero barrel and it was .25moa @100yds using factory ammo.
I wish Aero would make a heavyweight Long Action SOLUS for 300 Norma.
Nice, definitely gives me the warm and fuzzies over my choice of the Solus action. Thanks for watching!
If you are looking at different calibers for this action northland shooters has criterion shouldered prefits that will work. They are very affordable and the 2 that i have shoot very well.
Nothing against aero because my 6 creedmoor that came on my action shoots very well too.
Eventually I will probably change over to a 6GT, but I'll start learning the game with a 6 Creed.
115 DTACS and H4350 soft seat jam.... one hole!
I have H4350...but the bullet I have on hand are Berger 109s right now.
Outlier barrels are dirt cheap this weekend
I've heard...too bad I am dropping a bunch on some arca rails, a new bipod and an optic, lol
I think terminus makes a "quick change" system for theirs... you loosen 2 set screws and swap the barrel and bolt and go from 308 to 223.. I have swapped barrels on my savages. I am thinking about one of these or a zermat action to try this game. The rem 700 clones have way better accessories. looking forward to this series for sure!
From some of the reading I did I think the Solus and Zermat actions are pretty similar, seems like they can use the same barrels??? Man, I so want to get this thing finished like now!
@@Halfmilesniper they have the same thread pitch as a small shank savage. you could run a small shank savage barrel with nut... but if you can run a shouldered prefit.. why would you not. I am a bit jealous. putting guns together is sure fun !!
@@mikecrotts3943 It is isn't it...much like adult legos, lol
November 28th is my birthday, It better be a good one Halfmile 😂..
Well Sir, Happy Birthday...and Happy Thanksgiving too. Hope you enjoy.
@@Halfmilesniper It is a good one.👍 Thank you sir, appreciate it
I look forward to seeing this thing fired.
@@Halfmilesniperhey what was the brand on that borescope you use?
@@Thousand_yard_King the Borescope is a Teslong NTG-100
just use a poece of paper to toghten up the barrel vice. u can use as many wraps as needed
Even with that cardstock wrapped around the barrel I could not get the barrel jaws clamped tight enough to keep the barrel from turning. I needed the dedicated barrel vise, we get torqued in the next video.
308 tikka varmint with a 26” stainless barrel!!!😊
Well...you did get the barrel length correct...and the barrel material is correct as well...
@@Halfmilesniper 25 06?
@@mikeh5908 bullet diameter is getting closer
@@Halfmilesniper 26" 243 dont make sense so I'm putting money on 6GT. or 260 rem mag haha..
Did you say you were also going to do a form 1 shoosher for this one? If so how difficult is it to jump through all the right steps…
Nope, not going to do a Form 1 or even a Form 4 can on this rifle. Most of the shooting with this will ba at matches in CA and cans are a no no. I di have a can that lives in anther State for out of State use though.
i think youll really like it
I think I will too...I am thinking this will have pretty minimal recoil...we'll see.
merci des idée et conseil
Pas de quoi!
I wouldn't wait on getting the glass...prices are gonna, and in some cases have already jumped by several hundred bucks!
I'm scouring for glass right now...trying to take advantage of some Black Friday deals.
@@Halfmilesniper I just did the same thing. Even Arken prices are going up after tomorrow....Want a bit price shock? Take a look at the jump in the MSRP on the Vortex website....The Razer Gen III went from 4k to $4,800 from one week to the next.
@@Halfmilesniper I know a lot of people like to talk some smack about them, but you should really look at Bushnell.
The match Pro Ed 5 to 30 is out of this world. 800ish bucks.
I'm right there with ya..Solus action in 7mm something may be in my near future. Above 2900fps
Nice...can't wait to hear your range report.
6mm bullets You can use same bullets as 243 to
Yep, same diameter
How do you feel about the dished pic rails? I'm not sure yet. I have some, but not sure about there longevity still. So far though so good
Good question...the jury is still out on this rail. I do like that it has 20 MOA built in, which means I don't have to spring for a 20 MOA rail.
This is awesome but I have to ask because you bought the action/receive and barrel from the same company do they sell it all assembled ? Don't know if all the $ spent for extra tools is worth it for 1 rifle.
They do sell complete rifles. The only tool that isn't "universal" is the action wrench. I'd need that anyway if I was to change barrel/chambering. Plus, I'd never assembled a bolt gun before, so I have that experience now too.
Also.... If you're running the factory division...... You actually have to have a full factory rifle..... I'm not sure you can piece together the components unless they're the exact components that come with the full-blown rifle.
In other words, you're going to need an aero chassis and the trigger has to be the one Aero uses.
PRS website has division rules.
I was on track to be Factory Division, the only non factory part was the tuner brake. I was looking at the Aero chassis but couldn't justify spending more on the chassis than I did the receiver.. I bumped myself out of Factory with an Oryx chassis. I believe I could still get an Aero chassis and switch, but still can't justify the price of the Aero.
@@Halfmilesniper I totally understand that. You can run any sort of break you like and still keep you in factory.
The only thing that disqualifies you, is your chassis change, trigger change, or barrel/action change
@@NBKmediaPRS my initial plan was to build a full factory rifle, with a brake...learn the game then rebarrel in 6GT and go Unlimited/Open. But like every plan, it didn't survive the first hit, lol.
@@Halfmilesniper we both shoot factory my wife and i.
We chose to keep it simple with 6.5 creedmoor.
All four of our rifles take the same exact load..... I got pretty lucky.
@@NBKmediaPRS Wow...four rifles all likeing the same load...buy any lotto tickets recently???? LOL
aero Solus
6mm
Enjoy PRS, but you better take it serious if you want to get impacts. 💪
ooooh....so very close...almost too close, lol
@Halfmilesniper i could tell you were bitten by the PRS curiosity bug.
Careful....it is MEGA addicting. 😉
@@NBKmediaPRS once I learned there was a monthly PRS match less than 16 miles from the house, the game has been calling. My pistol season only runs from April thru September. We'll see...I may hate it once I give it a go, lol
@@Halfmilesniper you will love it. I have zero doubts
Interesting
Glad you enjoyed that, thanks for watching.
Hope it's the 7 prc, reach out and touch things.
Not quite the correct millimeter, lol
@@Halfmilesniper Ahh, bummer
264 win mag
Also....... I CALLED IT. 😂
Yes you did!
@Halfm I le also my 50th Bday
Happy 50th Birthday Adam...
Howa 7mm PRC Camo chassis ? With extra 300 Win mag barrel 😂. Go big or go home.
LOL...other end of the spectrum. Not sure which thumbnail you're seeing because the "test" has three different thumbnails it shows to potential viewers.
@Halfmilesniper A defeat means you give up but this a small setback meaning you'll continue ASAP. Can't wait to see the chassis & optic choice. What weight do you want to keep it under? Very nicely cut rifling. 🙏👍
@@billdye3530 true, I was only defeated for the day..so yes, just a set back. Once I got the new barrel vise I was able to get part 2 videoed..and the barrel properly torqued.
That rifling is very nicely cut...clearly, the nicest bore I have ever scoped.
6mm not a .264??? For shame…lol
LOL...The big Howais on .264/6.5mm...going smaller for this one, lol
