Rascal Minimalist is light.
Consider carbon barrel Bergara BMR also.
I have both, and the Minimalist is fun, but it's hard to compare to the BMR with a light prism for field accuracy.

I looked into the Rascal Minimalist not too long ago and didn’t see a weight posted on Savage’s website to compare to the standard Rascal. However, I would think that the Minimalist would be heavier than the standard since the stock is laminated.

...from what I have heard so far the .22 pistol suppressed is still super loud. Am I wrong in thinking this?
Suppressed bolt 22s are quieter than pistols. Both are pretty quiet. You just need a full-size .22 suppressor on the pistol.

Yes, but the Minimalist has a threaded barrel.
I wonder if the threaded barrel minimalist indicates they'll eventually offer factory threaded base models.
Machine shop threading vs factory threading is a cost that is a little hard to justify on cheaper rifles.

Keystone/ chipmunk makes single shot pistols with threaded barrels for around $120. There's also an aluminum chassis that's compatible with all their guns that you could put a diffrent grip on.
