Well, IMO a short (22") heavy barrel won't be all that much more likeable than the issue longer (25") heavy barrel, nor much lighter, either.

If it was my rifle - and I happen to think that a BRNO ZZK 602 Magnum-length action is super desireable - I'd surely shorten the barrel,

BUT

I'd also have the diameter turned down (& reblued or coated) to a lighter-cum-sporter contour, and then have a good set of front/rear express sights mounted on it.
