The Aero Solus Lightweight Short Action Magnum is a precision bolt-action receiver built for hunters and long-range shooters who want to assemble a custom rifle without the complexity—or the weight penalty. Aero Precision engineered this short action around a scalloped rail design that cuts roughly 15% of the mass found in conventional short-action receivers, making it ideal if you're building a lightweight hunting rifle or a compact precision setup that still needs to handle magnum cartridges up to 3.00" overall length.
The action sits on a Remington 700 short-action footprint, so you can drop in thousands of off-the-shelf pre-fit barrels and components without fitting work. That open-architecture approach is the core of the Solus ecosystem—you choose your barrel, trigger, stock, and magazine system to match your exact mission, whether that's an ultralight mountain rifle, a backcountry precision rig, or a compact competition build. Every receiver is CMM-inspected at Aero's manufacturing facility to ensure tight tolerances on the parts that matter most.
The bolt runs a 60-degree throw for quick cycling, features a 3-lug interchangeable head system, and uses dual ejectors and a cock-on-lift design. The integral 20 MOA biased top rail and integral recoil lug are machined directly into the receiver body for rigidity and repeatability. The action arrives ready to accept Remington 700-pattern triggers (without bolt release) and pairs seamlessly with AICS and AIAW detachable box magazines. Fabricated from 416 stainless steel with a 17-4 bolt and S7 firing pin, it's built to last through years of hard use in the field or at the range.
You'll need to source a Savage small-shank barrel (the action accepts shouldered Zermatt Origin-pattern pre-fits with included barrel nut), a stock, and a magazine to complete your build—giving you full control over weight, ergonomics, and performance.

Yes. The Solus Lightweight Short Action accepts Savage small-shank pre-fit barrels with the Zermatt Origin pattern and includes the barrel nut. The Remington 700 short-action footprint also ensures compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard components—triggers, magazines, stocks, and other parts designed for that platform.
The action is sized to feed and eject cartridges with overall lengths up to 3.00", with a magnum-sized ejection port. Check with your gunsmith or barrel manufacturer to confirm specific magnum cartridge compatibility for your intended barrel.
The package includes the Solus short-action receiver, bolt assembly, and barrel nut. You will need to source a pre-fit barrel, trigger, stock, and magazine system separately to complete your build.
The scalloped rail design removes approximately 15% of the overall weight compared to a standard short-action receiver with a full rail, making it a solid choice for lightweight hunting builds.
