I’ve long hankered after one, but know I probably wouldn’t be happy with the accuracy. It’s a work of art nonetheless.

Pappy, come on. There's no amount of filing you can do to that rifle to make it right. Nice try though. Valliant effort in imaginary skills to say the least. The last SA22 I saw was so nice. I should have bought it!!!! It was all original and in perfect condition, and was only $400. That was last year. The rifle was at a pawn shop that I rarely frequent. When I saw I made a mistake by not buying it, I went back and it was gone. I severely kicked my azz for not buying it when I saw it..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've a few Belgian SA-22's and think highly of same. Balance looks like it'd transfer from mid-receiver,to fore of same,though shy of fore end stock retention fastener. That'd simply mean warmer hands,to me. Hint.
The "HUGE" weight difference betwixt it and the "typical" version,is less than 1.5 pounds. I like that the barrel is more "fixed" and the cantilever base,is a sound mechanical notion. Where it gets hurt,is in relative trigger quality,if only due to literal design. KIDD steals that show. Hint.
Were it S/S and Laminate,I'd flog on one,if only to see WTF. Mag changes are gonna hurt it and Ruger again STEALS that Show. The Loudener would be easy to toss offa cliff and one KNOWS going in,that there won't be ANY blowback in the blinkers. A raised comb ain't gonna hurt production either. Hint.
Though in fairness...I actually fhuqking shoot. Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

When I saw I made a mistake by not buying it, I went back and it was gone. I severely kicked my azz for not buying it when I saw it.. Some decades ago there was one featured in a magazine with a full bull barrel, but no forend, and maybe some trickery to tighten up the connection. Standard stock though, so better looking than this wretched mess. Might not be quite as oogly as those tactical lever actions with the AR stocks, but it’s close. Some things should just be left as-is.

It's almost like someone at Browning said "hey, we need something for people to use in comps"...without understanding how matches are run...

I rather enjoy Sleepers and it'd be funnier than fhuqk,if the "new" barrel mounting system,shone brightly. Hint................

I'm betting it helps, but all of the comps that I'm aware of require a removable magazine and won't allow anything tube-fed. I'm surprised they didn't go carbon like they did with the Buckmark rifle. My Buckmark rifle isn't carbon barreled, but is a RIOT when shooting Steel Challenge.

My LAST thought was "Comp's",just a Giggles Play Toy. I've had/have lotsa' 241's/SA-22's and they are fhuqking RELIABLE and that ain't not ever a poor start. Blued/Walnut is lost upon me and I'll never savvy the intro of same Today. Hint.
"Tradition" makes less than zero fhuqks to me,but Mechanics assuredly do and I'd be curious to see how this offering does. Hint...............

If a 10/22 or a Marlin 60 can run with an aluminum receiver (AND be made in takedown versions), they SHOULD be able to make a sa-22 that does as well. That, and a lightweight barrel (steel liner/aluminum shrouded, with enough steel in the shank to attach that cantilever scope mount adequately), along with a LIGHTWEIGHT synthetic stock, would have been something.
I’m not sure WHAT a heavy bull barrel, adds to this package.

Increased mass,is easier to shoot,less fhuqking around and coming in second with proprietary bullschit. Hint................

Does anyone have the standard in stock? When I purchased mine in 2019 my local Bass Pro happened to have one left and everyone else it was OOS. I check periodically and have never found them in stock. I thought they quit manufacturing them.

Too easy to grab Teutonic and bask in the sanctity of superiority,for less jingle. Hint..............
