Anyone here running a light weight 22BR? If so I am in need of pictures as I build mine.

My build is as follows:
Remington Mdl 7 action (BF opened and bushed with Sako)
Remington Sporter Contour @ 24" 1-12"
PTG Bottom Metal
Shilen Standard Trigger
BC Alaskan Ti Stock
Leupy 3-9x33AO

I have a 6BR that is similar to what you are building.
Remington 700
Kreiger re-contoured to match a LVSF
Jewell Trigger
B&C LVSF Stock
Now it has Talley Lows

I have a 22 Dasher built very close to this build but with a #5 Hart, a little bit heavier than the 6BR

I like it, I am trying to keep my rifle in the weight category with a 6.XX attached to it. I am going to use it cull deer this year after using my 20VT for deer it'll be like switching from a club to a car to hit seals with.

Took the hint, got a Sporter in 1-9" 6mm bore and a box of Lapua Blue. Called PTG and got a custom reamer to boot. Now I have to wait the 12wks for the barrel.

9" is a gamble...8" a certainty.

Gross RPM is a function of twist and velocity..................(hint)

Go 8" if you have the choice. There is no drawback.
