    Flight of the Valkyrie?

    Sooo I know you don't want to do new calibers for the Modern Varmint, and I know you just have tonnes of free time anyways, what with the Grendel builds and such, buuuut.... wouldn't this be pretty awesome in the MV?

    I think the 224 Valkyrie would make a great addition to my MV

    We have been watching the evolution of this cartridge. Too early to say "yes we will" but once reamers are available and Federal actually releases ammo, we will look harder at it.
    Compatible bolts and mags already exist, so IF the 224 Valkyrie does in fact become reality as far as ammo, components and dies go and availability is there for the ammo we would be likely to offer this cartridge, once we have proven we can make it work in our gun.

    Good correction. I should have thrown in something about the Lark Ascending to really mess it up

    I had a 22-250 Ackley. Shot 80 Sierra MKs at 3400 fps. Barrel life was about 1,000 rounds. Went through 3 barrels and gave up on it. But it worked well.
