I haven’t played with the Valkyrie, but it’s not going to compare as well in a short, light, handy gun. I’d take a 7.62x39 (and most anything else, including a 223) over a blackout. Again. Just my experiences....and others’ will be different.

My 7.62x39 has become my go to gun. It won’t reach out as far as my 6.8, 6.5 Grendel or my 223 but that joker will flat hit HARD!!! It is also the most accurate shooting AR I have. That think will almost hit same impact spot on the steel at 100yds. It’s hell on some hogs too.
