The starting point was the Stag 3 Gun Elite, a performance rifle in its own right. The handguard is unique, featuring a serious weight reduction. The 18-inch Stainless Steel barrel has been fluted and comes in a heavy profile. The gun is set up as a precision rifle, to get all that can be had from the new 224 round. Also standard, a VG6 compensator, which looks fantastic on the rifle.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\".224 Valkyrie is No Longer Going Stag: New Stag 15 Valkyrie \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-87050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103-400x267.jpg\" alt=\".224 Valkyrie is No Longer Going Stag: New Stag 15 Valkyrie \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0103.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\".224 Valkyrie is No Longer Going Stag: New Stag 15 Valkyrie \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-87052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105-400x267.jpg\" alt=\".224 Valkyrie is No Longer Going Stag: New Stag 15 Valkyrie \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A0105.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>Down in the fire control group, the new rifle features Stag\u2019s own 2 stage national match trigger, coated in Nickel Boron. This coating further smooths out an already great trigger, one you are sure to love.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the package, a Magpul PRS buttstock. This is an excellent choice for a precision rifle.
