I don’t have a Valk, probably won’t - but admittedly might because I have a few 6.8 rifles which would be easily converted for low cost, and a bunch of 22cal 90’s from Service Rifle games, which I don’t really shoot any more, so won’t use.
If a guy is looking for a 22cal bolt gun, he can buy a .22Hornet, .223rem, .222rem, 22-250, or 220 swift in a factory made rifle. Wanna reload? .22-6, 22-243, 221FB, .218bee....
If a guy is looking for a 22cal AR-15, all we really have had until the Nosler and the Valk was 223/5.56.
ng brass to feed 6.8’s, Valk seems easy enough.
So what I have never heard is the answer to this:
Discounting speculation of “ammo or brass will dry up someday) and discounting an interest in shooting schitty surplus ammo or components: A new AR buyer is standing in front of a rack at a shop (or on the phone with a builder, or ordering online). What are the reasons he should pick up the 223/5.56 AR instead of the Valkyrie?
