My goal is for 22 caliber target shooting and Varmint hunting. Already have 6.8 brass, 6.8 bolt, 6.8 mags. May buy a PSA 20 inch 224V upper at one of their big holiday sales - I really only need a barrel as I have everything else to build an upper.
When you say you want to build one for light bullets, how light are you talking? Are you looking for .204 caliber speeds with .22 caliber bullets? I thought the whole idea behind the V was to able to shoot the really high BC 22's like the 90 grainers. Those are what are supposed to get you out to yardage of the bigger bores.
