As John and Bart indicate, it is poor practice to EVER rest a firearm solidly and directly against a hard service. Rather let the rifle rest on a hand or hat or??? which is in contact with the hard surface.
However, this is a .22 rimfire being talked about here and as such there will be a minimum amount of reaction between the hard surface and the rifle when compared with a harder recoiling firearm.
Float that barrel.
