Folding-stock option


up to be counted’, we would not be human if we hadn’t learned a few new tricks to improve it. However, its longevity is testament to its design ingenuity back in the fifties.


The overall shape of the Valkyrie is therefore close to the Remington but features a more asymmetric look and the sloping, faceted side is proudly incised `Valkyrie Rifles England`. The ejection-port on this standard right-bolt, right-port, action is shaped to allow clean ejection and is big enough to single load a cartridge if desired. When using AI magazines - they often need a slight guide into the chamber if not fed from the magazine.


The Valkyrie utilises 416 grade stainless-steel


with a 4140 chrome-moly steel bolt to avoid bi-metallic galling.


Various options of


configuration, bolt-face and materials are available. The tactical bolt-knob and handle are a little longer than the Remington and offer a comfortable hand-filling design that is quick to operate and exceptionally smooth.


The bolt itself is attractively fluted and features a plunger-ejector coupled with a Sako-style extractor and of course, two locking lugs. The 90 degree bolt-lift


offered no extraction or


ejection problems at all. The firing-pin hole is, as you would expect on a custom action – snug and the cartridge was well supported, showing no ejector marking or cratering with normal pressure levels. At the rear of the action’s left
