I've owned a couple 1710 heavy barrels. They were fantastic shooting rifles, but since I don't really shoot as much at our family range as I used to, I sold them. I still have a 54 Sporter that's lighter than the heavy barrels and easier to carry around the woods. I don't think you'll regret an Anschutz.
My Sporter weight 54 has been great. I find even the (not heavy barrel) 1710/1712 Sporters to be substantial for a 22. Like a full size centerfire rifle.
That's why my favorite for shooting standing these days is (a pound lighter) a 1416 with the two-stage 5 ounce trigger...Tom
