And then there is this - - -> ---- SAWMAN
The new Savage coming out looks nice! Any idea when they will hit the stores?My application for the gun will be long range varmints,deer,and hogs. Never really checked but suspect that they're not any "hunting" bullets greater than the Barnes 70gr TSX although given the choice would rather have a 62gr TSX.
For the decission to be made to switch from my 24" 5.56X45 to the Valkyrie would be a matter of the difference in velocities and magazines used. ( I already have some 5 and 10 shot 6.8 mags.)
If the Val would produce speeds equal to the 22-250 they would sell one to me. And I suspect that seeing I do not have the need to shoot the 90 and 100gr bullets there should not be a problem with mag legnth,although the solid copper Barnes is fairly long.
I will keep a close eye on this new chambering as time passes. I suspect one thing though. The Val will take tons of steam away from the 22Nos unless there is something that I am not seeing. ---- SAWMAN
LWRC is planning on offering Valkyrie entrant based on their six8. Platform. I've not handled the six8 mags but that may offer more length to take advantage of in a semi platform. Of course the rifle and mags are double the price of the competition. Bolt gun for the win?!?!
