Re: Valkyrie .260

amazing.... How far did that set you back?

is this the same action that the snipershide build was built on, or was that rifle just called the valkyrie?

Let me know how you get on with the BT can , as I have one as well , its bloody heavy & only lasted less than 100 rds before , getting so loose inside , that It now rattles a lot .
It also gets a lot hotter than my bigger old model A-Tec jobie , and much longer to cool down .

Cheers Chris

Thats wicked fluting on the barrel! You could always send me an action for testing and evaluation

Jacq.....i daren't add it up...lol

Hi Chris,
I hope the mod lasts longer than that, i had to sell a kidney to fund it !
The scope is temporary, it will get an S+B on it, when funds permit.

Re: Valkyrie .260

Baldie, you've got far too many rifles now and as my next build is going to be a .260 how about you donating it to me for some field trials ;o)
Looks seriously good now its all put together mate and that custom action of yours is as smooth as butter! Looking forward to seeing the results.
