[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3095981, member: 84442"] I built a Valkyrie back when it was first introduced in 2017. I used a Savage 12FV donor rifle from back when you could get them from Cabela's for $200 after rebate. It was pretty simple to open up the stock 223 Rem bolt face. Savage eventually came out with Valkyrie rifles and magazines. Since I wasn't limited by AR mag lengths, I throated the chamber so I could seat the 88 ELD-Ms with the boat tail just below the neck of the case. This allows a bit more room for powder and accompanying velocity increase. I put it in an H-S Precision vertical grip tactical stock and topped it with a 6.5-20x50 Leupold VX-3I LRP. It is a great shooter and will stack the 88s. I will probably end up building a 22 ARC on an AR platform as I'd like to have something to span the gap between the Valkyrie and my 22 Creedmoor. I have several 223 Remingtons and largely built the Valkyrie "just because". [ATTACH type="full" alt="Valkyrie.jpg"]568118[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
