A step up from the .223?
What are your thoughts on the .224 Valkyrie?

For hunting what?
Specs are so similar. Same case pressure. 7-8% gain in case capacity. The gain is so small it doesn't justify all the added build cost and component cost. If you're wanting to send a 22 pill faster than 223 allows you need to make it worth it and bump on up to 22-250 or 22nosler IMO

I would go 22 arc or 22 creed if I wanted more than a 223. 22-250 is fine, but the twist really hurts it.
22arc is exactly where I would be looking

Think I'll use the AR15 for this rifle.

Yep. Really considering building one, barrel offerings and availability so far though is really limited.
With that in mind definitely would go with the 22arc.
