With the launch of the new Federal Premium .224 Valkyrie round, Savage Arms supported its sister company with the launch of several rifles chambered in the new long-range cartridge.

The .224 Valkyrie is purpose-built for use in the AR-15 platform, giving AR owners access to a long-range precision round that can reliably, repeatably make accurate hits well past 1,000 yards.

For more information on the new .224 Valkyrie and Savage Arms rifles chambered in the new round, check out the video above.
