It's got a heavy Dlask barrel so it's probably in the 4.5-5 pound range. The rest of it is super light so If I swapped the barrel it would probably be around 4lbs or under.
10/22 Build or Buy?

Nice I’ve seen and heard good things about the Dlask barrels. I might have to give them a shout and see if they are planning on making anymore of their carbon barrels.
Yeah carbon barrels are scarce. I paid $700 for this Volquartsen barrel for a superlight build I'm piecing together
Here's a sneak peak!
I know we get hosed as Canadians, more ways than one, but I just did a quick Google on that rifle,{never heard of it} 1st linked was an American/ USA Gun Shop-in stock, for $499. Then, a sponsors listing showed up = $1129 lol. Dang. I guess there is 25% tariffs now? {Exchange + Tariffs on Retail price = $870 Canadian}
I'd try IRG, see what they have it for.

I have several factory 457s and one T1X. And one new generation Ultimatum Deuce with a 26” IBI barrel. Keeping an eye on Tesro In-house builds for new CZs.
Hope to get 2 more CZ actions with a Lilja and a Sheilen (spelling?) barrel on em.

Ya I’ve seen the price difference is crazy. I’m not sure if it’s the distributors fault or the retail stores that have the price so high. I will check IRG for sure. I’ve seen they can bring in what I believe is the factory 16” carbon barrel from ruger. Which might be my only option that I’ve been able to find.

It's not all put together yet. It's a modular fully adjustable chassis system. The whole thing including the handguard, stock, grip and chassis only weigh 1lb 3 ounces

That black Superlight is one of the last ones available from SBI's last run of rifles... it will sell quickly!

That Magpul stock is pretty light weight. I have one with a factory receiver and a Faxxon pencil barrel and from memory is just under 5lbs.
Feels like a toy but sure is handy little rifle.
For a lightweight plinker/hunter factory 10/22 is fine. If you wanna do a bench or PRS type then is better to build one up.

That 31220 looks like a solid package for the money, especially if that barrel is decent.
My 10/22 wouldn't shoot better than 4 moa (which Ruger wouldn't warranty) so I swapped it out for a Kidd ULW barrel (followed by a BX trigger, then a stock, bolt, all that remains stock now is the action haha) That Kidd barrel shoots everything well, and with match ammo it's not terribly far behind my 457 MTR for accuracy
For giggles I priced out a build comparable to that factory Ruger, using an ULW barrel.
$450 for a 10/22 carbine donor (BassPro), you can probably recoup some money by selling the factory stock and barrel. A Spectre Ballistics C71 reciever, bolt, charging handle etc would be similar in price to a basic donor rifle.
$160 for the Magpul MOE X-22 stock (BP)
$150 for a BX trigger (BP)
$550 for a Kidd ULW barrel (Can Safety Source)
$1310 total vs $1130 (before taxes, shipping) for a Ruger 31220 from Canada's Gun Store (1st vendor I found that had the rifle in stock)
I'd wager a silver dime that the Kidd barrel would out-shoot the factory Ruger CF barrel, but $280 extra before taxes and shipping isn't insignificant. I'd personally spend the extra money on building off a donor, but that's because I lack faith in Ruger barrels. If I knew those carbon barrels shot well I'd hit the easy button and save $300.
