Noodling over a possible project, and wondering if someone is making Rem 700 Valkyrie bolts...
Anyone got any leads?
Same for mags in an AICS pattern...

Anyone making 224 Valkyrie 700 bolts?
- Thread starter MarinePMI
- Start date
we definitely need better bolt action mags,
Brian was using the Accurate Mag 223 version and they appeared to work well
Action wise, I am going with a Bighorn, but it would be nice to have a super low cost option like a 700

I have a prototype MDT metal mag they sent me to test. Its geared towards BR and 224V... Will get to testing it next week and report back. I also have a Bighorn that Ill be testing 224V with..
PTG has the .427 bolt face option but that requires a smith to fit the new bolt to your action so not exactly cheap, 300 minimum with parts (starting at 230) plus labor

Plus the barrel needs to be headspaced to said new bolt, plus cost of action if your buying one.... At that point youre better off getting an Origin with a 224V bolt head....
I ordered an Origin for mine as well.
No barrel yet but just playing around with the old AI 223 mags I have, with the action in the chassis, I'm gonna see if they will feed when I get my barrel. So far the seem to fit the 224 case better than my Accurate mag or my MDT mag so I am hopeful.

I had considered a Bighorn, but I don't think they'll fit the JAE chassis I intend to use on this project (lug is too thick), hence why I was thinking of using an old .308 Rem 700VS barreled action I have.
May just say screw it, and call Mike at MHS to see what they have available in barreled actions. No sense in screwing around with the Remmy if it's going to be that much of a hassle (timing the bolt handle, etc.)
Definitely interested in how the MDT mags work; they've been turning out some slick stuff lately that has certainly been in line with the trends of precision rifle. Impressed to see them responding so quickly and intelligently to market needs.
Thanks for all the replies fellas; clarifies things a whole lot.

Appears to still be available.
I’ll check my stash of parts, might have a factory Rem 700 bolt body for 6.8 SPC I’d part with.

The more Valkyrie vids the better! Love the stuff with Brian. Keep pushing the limits. People want to hate but that 75gr American Eagle stuff has been on sale for 7.99 locally. Cheaper than 75gr Hornady I used to shoot out of my SPR.
Well yeah, you can also just buy a new savage bolt head for 70 bucks to use no matter what the previously existing savage is chambered in.
But the issue at hand is 700 bolts.
Just picked up my TL-3 yesterday from Bighorn and also talked to Mike at Mile High, my 224 left hand gain twist barrel showed up so I should have this put together soon. Looking forward to trying out the gain twist barrel!
