224 Valkyrie in a factory rifle?

[Hidalgo]

I've read a lot about the 224 Valkyrie recently and it is a very interesting cartridge. I know most of them (if not all) are custom barreled actions. Is there any manufacturer that offers it in a factory rifle? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere .......

CZ and Savage make bolt guns chambered in it. They have some CZ's on BudsGunShop right now.

I’d look at the new 22ARC… Ruger is chambering their new American Gen 2 rifle. I’m sure there will be others.

CZ makes the new 600 Alpha in the 224. I looked at a few locally. I like the rifle but I did notice on all three that any pressure on the fore-end causes the stock to touch the barrel. Probably an easy fix but I did notice it. I like they way they look and feel.

Now THAT ...... is very interesting. I wonder how it performs with the 18" barrel on the Ranch model .........

Looks like a lot of fun to me

I have a Valkyrie in a Ar platform very nice little cartridge
shoots heavy for cal bullets and I shoot mostly 77 grs. and up
with some of the better heavy 22 cal bullets it makes a fine deer round if you choose to use it as such

That's basically why I am considering the Valk or now the ARC. Looking for something that can handle 75-80 grain bullets and still have decent speed.

I own a CZ 600 in .224 Valkyrie and like it a lot. I also have three other rifles chambered in the .224 Valkyrie. I have also been loading and shooting a .22 Grendel (22 Grendel = 22 ARC). My twist is 1:8", because I don't shoot heavies. However, Hornady is calling for a 1:7" and 40 thou more in freebore.

I know that was a lot to unpack, but it shows my experience with both cartridges. To wrap it up, I recommend that you go with a .22 ARC.

I almost bought the CZ 600 in 762x39 but didn't like the idea of the .311 bore diameter. What I did like was the short barrel. IIRC the 224 Valkyrie has a little longer barrel. I don't have any issues with that but would really prefer the short barrel.. I may look in to them a little harder after I recover from Christmas. My smith isn't that far away and he has a lathe to take care of that longer barrel.
