More than a dozen companies are making compatible rifles already.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the interesting thing about the 224 Valkyrie. It offers solid performance past 1,000 yards but from a short-action rifle or standard AR-15 platform. Based on the 6.8 SPC cartridge, it fits into standard 5.56mm magazine wells but launches heavier (60, 75, and 90-grain) and slippery bullets that can stay supersonic out to 1,300 yards depending on your local atmospheric conditions. Bullet drop and wind drift are far less than 77-grain .223 Remington offerings.<\/p>\n<h2>Savage MSR 15 Recon LRP<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_85644\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gastatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-8-long-range-shooting-gear-shot-show-2018\" title=\"Top 8 Long-Range Shooting Gear \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85644\" title=\"Top 8 Long-Range Shooting Gear \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"size-large wp-image-85644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Savage MSR15 224 Valkyrie\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/APC_0448.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-85644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savage MSR15 224 Valkyrie<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You know that as the inventor of the new 224 Valkyrie caliber Vista Outdoor, the parent company of Federal Ammunition and Savage, will have rifles to match.
