A little heavy for offhand to most. But, I have an Anschuts 64 MPR that is heavy.
Unlike most though, I use a sling which helps steadyness and also lightens the load.
Most people don't bother with a sling. But I will help any rifleman.
So, you'll just have to borrow a heavy rimfire and shoot it to see if you can tolerate it.

It might be a little heavy; it’s hard to say. Those laminated stocks with all the lightning holes don’t weigh very much.
I’ve got a laminated stock on my 10/22 conversion and the gun weighs about four pounds.
And no lightning holes in my stock.
But the biggest reduction in weight came from the Volquartsen tensioned carbon fiber barrel.
I think it weighs less than a pound, it’s very light.
Go to a shop and handle some steel bull barreled .22 or .17 guns, it will give you a close idea of what it will be like. Most look heavier than they are.
