Seems to me that that's the verdict that really matters.

Depends what you expect from it? Have a 19" Ruger 22.250 with Oceania Suppressor on the end. Shoot 69 TMK's at 3130 fps. Cheapest rifle I own but ends up getting used the most after the black rifles got banned.
That's not honking for a 22.250, but hits way harder than a 223 and very compact, lightweight and accurate. Neck shot a decent size fallow stag at 315m last week.
Also surprised myself and hit a gong at 585m 1st, 2nd and 3rd shot in a row with a VX5 and using stretlok. Slight bit of kentucky windage figured out on the 420m gong. I didn't even think a VX5 would dial true.
Long barrels can be a pain when on a motorbike, trees etc then add suppressor. Sometimes it's not all about paper ballistics and wasting powder but what practically works in the field for what you want to do.
