just wondering were this came from? seeing ruger uses 20-24" barrels on there 77/22 and savage uses 21" barrels on 1 of there 22s and I use a 20" dlask on 1 1022 and get way better long range preformance out of it than any of my 16s, mind you I have never cronied any of them either
you have to relise that customizing these rimfires is what its about, there not mountain rifles and a 8-9 pound rifle is not uncommon especialy if your chasing the look of a sniper rifle or such which in reality weigh in at almost 30 pounds for a 50cal or chey tac M200 as for extra cost

if you knew what Tachead had into that SR your piggy bank would have a heart attack

and firearms are the cheap part of fun in life (well for us) some of the toys around here hit 20K+ and alot ask WHY, I always answer "just for fun" no other reason

remember the sr22 or nordic chasis/ NEA chasis are the AR15s of 22 rimfire world and beg to be customized and the 1022, a bone stock one should come with a tag on it that reads "remove from box, take barrel and stock off and throw away and enjoy"
my SR project:
the scope cap and fake suppressor are obviously not gun koted yet, the scope cap because the sports shop I got the scope from had lost it and gave me the scope for $40

the fake can based on a chey tac M200 scaled down to size by RA Customs (myself and my sons) dlask barrel, some internal goodies and a ace skeleton stock (just because everyone puts magpul adjustables on

) oh and of course the crayon trick
