Am I the only one who still gives the .224 Valkyrie some love?
Everybody talks about .223, .22 ARC, 6 ARC, 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor, but the Valkyrie hardly seems to come up anymore.
24-inch stainless barrel, Dead Air Nomad LTi XC, and an Athlon thermal up top. Long, sleek, and built for nights when the coyotes get a little too comfortable. 🔥
I still think the Valkyrie deserves a spot in the conversation. New cartridges coming along didn’t suddenly make it a bad round, and it’s still one I like.
But I’m curious—if you gave up on the Valkyrie, what made you move on? And if you’re still running one, what’s kept you shooting it?
Let’s hear from both sides. 👇
