I read about Dave's work with interest, he is building some cracking rifles with glowing reviews, his new Action seems to have been well received and his Duracoat work is bloody impressive as well!DaveT wrote:Dave Wylde of Valkyrie rifles is building me a 6mm SLR on an XLR stock....will let you know how it goes.
I have 6 rifles from Dave ranging from 338 Lap Mag through 308 Win and 260 Rem to 6mm.....all damned good accuracy-wise and great Duracoating.....his new action is easily on par if not better than Surgeon. Hugely recommended.ovenpaa wrote:I read about Dave's work with interest, he is building some cracking rifles with glowing reviews, his new Action seems to have been well received and his Duracoat work is bloody impressive as well!DaveT wrote:Dave Wylde of Valkyrie rifles is building me a 6mm SLR on an XLR stock....will let you know how it goes.
Michael, you have raised some good points. I like the idea of the integral bipod and have considered it myself in the past, it would need to be wide to get a good stable platform and easily adjusted for cant and height and I reckon it can be done quite elegantly as well.Michael Sproul wrote:K, here's what I'd build if I had any skills. You've obviously got to take into account my inexperience and also the fact I've said things just to make it different and add to the engineering challenge. I'll let you decide which bits go in which category....
A magazine fed straight pull rifle in a bullpup configuration in .308. Left hand cocking mechanism with right hand side ejection. Probs summit like a 24 inch barrel. As per the OP, something that can be configured for different shooters. I like your idea about using the AR type pistol grip. Something with a comfortable foregrip so off hand shooting isn't a chore. It would also be cool if an integral bipod could be configured so that it folds up out of the way so when it's stowed it doesn't hang down like a set of snagtastic balls haha!
Feel free to poke holes in my ideas, I'd be interested in hearing criticism in what I think would be the perfect rifle for me! (no sarcasm there by the way if it sounds like it!)

Zbroyar Z-008 Tactical rifles are built using Bell& Carlson adjustable stocks, with integral aluminum bedding blocks and professional bedding. Z-008 Tactical Pro rifles feature proprietary stocks assembled with Magpul components. Normally, each rifle is equipped with steel Picatinny rail at the top of the receiver, which can be used to install any sighting equipment, according to the shooter's preferences.The Z-008 Tactical Pro rifles also feature octagonal tubular forend, made of aluminum alloy, which has multiple points to attach additional Picatinny rails. All Zbroyar Z-008 rifles are shipped from the factory with 0.5 MOA guarantee, but many can delivery accuracy of up to 0.15 MOA, providing appropriate ammunition and skilled shooter, comes with scope rings and bolt tool
