This week at Tactical Rifleman we had the opportunity to spend some time with our friend David Ives from Nemesis Arms, and his very impressive creation, the Valkyrie ambidextrous precision rifle. You can find them online at nemesisarms.com You may have seen a glimpse of the Valkyrie in a few popular movies and television shows such as; The Bourne Legacy, Person of Interest, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, just to name a few. The Valkyrie is also currently serving with several U.S. and Allied SOF forces on the frontlines around the globe.
As the Chief Engineer, President and Owner of Nemesis Arms, David described to us, how he set out to create and engineer the first ever purpose-built fully ambidextrous, multi-caliber, take down precision rifle system. David told us he achieved his primary design goal by engineering and machining the Valkyrie receivers; in house at his facility in Park City Kentucky, to accept both a right and left hand bolt. When the Tactical Rifleman team got behind the rifle we found that the bolt exchange was achieved extremely rapidly and required absolutely no tools! You simply depress a single bolt release detent button, remove one bolt and swap if for the other. In addition, all of the fire controls and magazine release are designed around the receiver center-line so they can be manipulated with either hand from both sides of the weapon system. The ingenious tool-less design is carried throughout the weapons system as you can see in the video.
The ambidextrous, multi-caliber, take down conceal-ability, and portability of this type of weapons system is very attractive to SOF forces; because for them this means less cost for the units, both in procurement and employment. It reduces the cost of purchasing and shipping both left and right handed precision rifles to deployed units. To the trained operator these features allow the Valkyrie to be employed in a multitude of different mission parameters, in addition the ambidextrous design provides the operator the flexibility to achieve a more covered and/or concealed firing position during the mission. This can directly translate into the operator’s increased survivability and mission success! The multi-caliber options of the Valkyrie allow it to be tailored to specific mission requirements.
The Valkyrie’s proprietary return-to-zero, tool-less take down chassis technology and 11 pound overall weight showcases its conceal-ability, portability, and versatility. Throughout the course of the day at the T1G facility the Tactical Rifleman team assembled and disassembled the Valkyrie at least six times and the weapon returned to zero every time and continuously delivered a high degree of accuracy!
If you have the opportunity to get behind and shoot a Valkyrie we highly recommend it!

Awesome!! But very dangerous in enemy's hands…
Did he take credit for the anschutz spigot bipod mount and then say that a feature is that you can shoot with the thread protector on? 😂 wtf, snake oil salesman. This dude is one of those slick sales people you see at SHOT show who you know are selling something that seems better because they talk fast. I'm thinking I seen him selling steak knives at the state fair before.
There is no way it can hold a perfect zero at distance. I refuse to believe that
That Bi-pod alone is sick as fuck. Watch my bitch ass go broke buying one 😂
What is the barrel length?
Finally find a lefty bolt gun.
But I know buying it would put me on a list.
one question. Where can I get one?
How much is it and where is the link to the website ?
5000$…wow
I run my rifle system with my tactical 5.11 pants platform which helps to negotiate my weapon system to my applied application system process so that when I run my tactical application system my weapon platform will be applicable to my articulation in any theater I might find myself in. I mean…….do you even operate bro?
두조직일망타느진제거작전개시ㅡcut out ok
Lot of talk little action?
So let’s see it in action! Just do it,
How much?
One issue I can see: since you are removing the barrel, how will you maintain zero? Won't the zero shift each time you take off the barrel and put it back on?
IT SEEMS LIKE IT TAKES A WHILE TO PUT TOGETHER..
We’re can I get one
Where do you purchase this weapon?
Damn this gun is so beautiful..
Love the bolt ! 😇
The best sniper rifle for an assassin 😁
Sweet
I want that weapon.whos coming to see me..I'm waiting .
Imagine putting on that suppressor when your freezing and your hands are about to get frostbite.
