UPS man came today. 
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Just ordered an upper and some ammo. We shall see. What barrel length did you get on the upper?

You'll have to crony. Very interested in velocities from that barrel length.

Id there any reason one wouldn't build a bolt gun in the Valkryie? Or is it exclusively foe the AR. I'm not an AR fan over the bolt.

Buzz - If I wanted a fast 22 in a bolt gun I wouldn't go with the Valkyrie. I'd go with a 1:7 or 1:8 twist 22-250 or a 22 creedmoor. Shoot 75s or 80s and have all the fun you'd want

Sounds like a fun little round. What’s the barrel life gonna be?

My 20" Valkyrie 1:7 barrel has arrived! I have no idea when I will get it built, much less shoot it. Have not even looked for the dies yet

I don't know how you compare it to the 22-250. This is built for 90 grain bullets and the 22-250 is built for 50 grain bullets unless you go custom. not so,there are 22-250's with a 1-9 twist shoot heavier bullets.
hold on Newt, we got a runaway

Does the 22-250 fit in an AR15? I feelb you are debating something that is not relevant. My most recent post was a showing an article where they cut the barrel to show velocity at different barrel lengths.

Thanks for the link. Enjoy these bbl length tests. Short barrel bolt gun for the 90gr, low-recoil, long range round is on the wish list.
