Have fiddled with one of the regular Solus actions. Did not expect to like it thinking the 60 degree would be tough. Was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it is “more” but not as much as I had expected.
Really like their bolt handle too.
I use a DDE titanium HUB. It weighs less than an ounce makes my whole Harvester EVO weigh in at 11.6 ounces. It’s not the advertised 10.8, but not terrible either.
Have three Anti and a Classic. No difference in feel, just a difference in features (integral lugs, etc.). The Anti, Anti-X and the Classic all use the same bolt.
Kelbly Atlas Lite or Nanook would be another lightweight option to consider.

Not the record breaking speeds of the individual submissions of late, but half as long as my first two.
Has anyone been able to get an explanation of WTF is going on with approval times? I’m happy for everyone getting these quick approvals, but as someone waiting … WTF?!
Used my daughter’s play-doh to fill the void covered by a layer of painters tape. Worked great.
Don’t forget your release agent. I like paste floor wax.
I think the appeal to most for hogs and aoudad is that they’re plentiful and able to be hunted year around. I’m reminded of the mantra often used in Africa, “if it pays it stays.” While many see hogs and aoudads as invasive pests, many others make quite good money off of guiding hunts for them...
Been more and more interested in shorter and shorter barrels with suppressor use. The 6.5 PRC seems to get good performance from an 18” barrel.
Am I handicapping the cartridge if I was to build the 6.5 PRC in a short action? Seems a lot of folks recommend a long action to allow seating bullets...
