Congratulations. Ritch says it runs like a sewing machine. H didn't specify if he meant a treadle or a Bernina 880. I suspect the later not the former.

Pictures of course!!

Now you have really fallen, once you get that 22x6.8 you will have to have it in 25,
6mm & 30 cal!
What twist will it be in??
 
My 22 is a 8 twist, 20" thread so I can run it suppressed.
I already have a DTI to fill the 6mm slot, but I may need a 25. I've never had anything in a quarter bore.
 
I have been giving serious thought to a 22x6.8, but am also giving the same consideration to the 6mm version. And no, I won't get both.

You might want to give some love to the 20, 25 or 6.5. That will balance the budget out. Well if $0.00 is balanced anyway.

I have 2-20 Practical BHW uppers presently and am considering trading one for the 6x6.8. Or selling it and ordering the 6mm.
 
Congrats, I'll be looking forward to hearing how you like the 22x6.8.

One with a 22" barrel is gonna have to be my next rifle. My 6x6.8 needs a little brother! Haha

Let me know when you want to sell it. I have a 6 x 6.8 upper and have been thinking about a 20 practical upper. I need to fill my small caliber niche since I got rid of my 17-204.

BOBTAILS give me some info on your weapon.
Barrel length, twist, Rifle Gas length? You shoot suppressed so do you use adjustable gas block or run it with whats on it?

What main bullet is planned with the 8 twist?
