[QUOTE="KR260, post: 1596491, member: 102798"] Unless you can find another Tikka bolt cheap enough, I would go 223 AI with a 1-8" or 1-7" barrel depending on how heavy of bullets you want to shoot. My factory 1-8" Tikka 223 varmint is a tack driver with 75gr ELDMs at 3025fps with H4895. I am using AICS mags and loading them to 2.49" coal. It shoots the 53gr V-max pretty good too, but I have only played with them, nothing serious yet. My next barrel will be a 1-7" 223AI so I can play with the 80 and 88gr ELDMs. You will need a new bolt or have a smith open up the face for anything that is not a 223 case head. The 224 Valkyrie isn't anything special in a bolt gun when you compare it to a 223 AI in a bolt gun. [/QUOTE]
