Dave at Valkyrie Rifles

Postby Deallad » Fri Feb 09, 2018 10:42 am

Some time ago I decided that I wanted a McMillan tactical stock for my Remington 700 Police LTR in 223

The barrelled action is superb with just about any ammunition over 50 gn as the barrel has 5R rifling and a 1 in 9 twist rate. My hand reloads using Sierra 69gn TMK produce 1/4 MOA groups without problem.

Back to the stock, although the McMillan T5 with adjustable cheek looked amazing in its camo colouring it was a pain to load with the internal magazine my big fingers found it awkward to load 5 rounds.

I need the bottom metal with detachable magazine that I had on the original stock fitted to the McMillan, after asking around the shooting community one name kept coming up, Dave at Valkyrie Rifles.

I made a call to Dave and had a chat on the phone, the next day my stock was collected by parcel force and on it's way UP NORFF. A few days later I called Dave on the phone to ask about payment and find out how long it would take to get done, Dave was true to his word and my stock arrived as said.

On inspecting the work I could tell it had been done by a true master of his craft, the fit and finish is superb the accuracy to detail amazing, the pillars look like an originally installed part, on attaching the stock to the action it fits like a glove, the rifle looks amazing.

So, when I hear someone requiring work on their rifles one name will be suggested.

DAVE AT VALKYRIE RIFLES.

Dave ("Baldie") is a regular contributor on the UKV forum. Some of his builds have been stunning. Definitely a real gunsmith, and no mistake. :thup:
