"Grade I American walnut stock with raised comb 16.25" fixed bull barrel Picatinny scope base included Threaded 1/2"-28, muzzle brake supplied Matte blued barrel and action"
It's as hideous as the original is elegant.
Just for reference, an image of the original gorgeous SA-22.

Yeah I get the references to the fugly stock, but no mention of the stupid muzzle break...on a .22? The bull barrel is also kinda silly but I have two .22 rifles with them so I guess I shouldn't be one to talk. Then again, we got in a CZ 457 Varmint MTR the other day and at least to me it doesn't win any beauty awards either.

I recently put a Talley picatinny rail on mine with a Trijicon RMR I had sitting around after I took it to the range last fall and realized I couldn’t see the sights with or without my new trifocals. So should I take it to my smith to get the barrel cut back past the front dovetail and threaded to put my Sparrow on it or not? Maybe I’ll cable tie the suppressor to the end to see how it balances first. Its such a sweet little shooter as it is. Decisions, decisions...

I guess it would be my choice if I wanted to beat someone to death with a .22....

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

Interesting. As I recall from long ago, S&W stopped supplying a muzzle break for the model 41 pistol because lead accumulated on it very quickly and ultimately interfered with bullet passage. I wonder how this one will work out, and whether the lead build up could ultimately make removing the brake difficult.

That makes no sense to me whatsoever. It actually upsets me a bit that they would do that to such an elegant rifle. Who in the world are they marketing that to? Surely not your average dude who likes the original design. It seems that anyone looking for those additional features can be better served by something else, and at a much lower price point.
They are charging an extra $200 for the additional ugly.
