    What kind of Valkyrie barrel do you have and how does it shoot?

    Does your last round in the mag really throw out that far consistently? I would load a dummy or a rider under the last round to avoid that! I’m interested in this as well.

    Anyone actually shoot an 18” barreled .224 Valkyrie at 1000?

    I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos and read plenty of range reports from people shooting .224 Valkyries with 22 and 24 inch barrels at 1,000 yards, and I’ve seen the same of people shooting 18” barreled rifles at less than 1,000, but no 18 inchers at 1,000. I’ve had my 18” Savage MSR out to 600...

    *JUST RELEASED* Hornady 224 Valkyrie ammo 88gr ELD-M .545 G1 BC 2700fps

    I keep reading that the 90gr bullets might be “iffy” in a 1:7 barrel, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it. My 1:7 barrel shoots them just fine.

    .224 Valkyrie experiences thus far

    I had zero issues through 80 rounds yesterday. It was plenty accurate enough for me as well.

    Bergara b14 HMR

    I had an RPR and then bought my HMR a few months later. After I realized I wasn’t taking the RPR out of the safe anymore I sold it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in the Bergara.

    Help with .224 Valkyrie guys/gals...

    I put 80 rounds of the 90gr FGMM through mine today with no issues. Mine 1:7 twist Savage barrel does like the 90s. I had several sub moa groups when I did my job.

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    I don’t know yet. I need higher rings so I can mount the scope farther forward to get the eye relief right. I’ll let you know.

    It’s been a while, but I’ve finally got it together!

    Maybe one of the new Bergara HMR Pros?

    Savage Mark II BTVSS opinions? BTVLSS lefty model.

    You’ll hear differing opinions, but I love mine. These are the groups I got trying to find out what ammo it likes. They’re only at 25 yards, but I was still impressed. They’re all 5 shot groups.

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    Pretty sure I’m going with a Kidd trigger and Feddersen barrel now. The Kidd trigger is actually cheaper than the Volquartsen and Feddersen barrels aren’t that bad either. Now I’ve just got to wait 6-8 weeks for the receiver to get here!

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    Your advice is much appreciated! I have considered GM barrels, but I haven’t looked at Kidd triggers yet. I’ll give them a look!

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    I’m starting a 10/22 build based on a Volquartsen/Summit straight-pull receiver. I’m trying to build something that at least superficially resembles a toned down biathlon rifle. I’m new to 10/22 builds and the choices of barrels, stocks, and triggers are truly bewildering. Leaving stocks aside...

    Someone asked for how the groups looked on paper. They look like this at the CMP range in Talladega. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

    I just did a gun.deals search. It’s only about $60-75 less.

    Howa Australian Precision Chassis (APC) Rifle. New...but how much different from the HCR?

    Howa has released a rifle they’re calling the Australian Precision Chassis Rifle. It looks a lot like the HCR to me. I asked Howa what was different about it via Facebook Messenger and they said, “Chassis system and magazine system”. Have any of y’all handled or shot one of these? Sent...
