The Valhalla Arms Company Tombstone. It is a 7.62x51mm Designated Marksman Rifle. It was built in response to a competition to replace the Swiss Army's old SG 550 in 5.56. It has a polymer lower and hammer forged upper. It is very reliable. It has functioned in the snow, we dipped it in liquid nitrogen and it still ran. It is about as reliable as the SIG MPX. We went to the Swiss Alps and tested it in the frozen conditions so the Swiss can have a rifle for that kind of landscape. Went out to the Sonoran Desert and tortured the living dog snot out of it, still ran.
