Orin, fit, finish quality is pretty close between the two Sir. Barrel length makes a vast difference in 22LR ballistics performance which will likely be the determining factor of how you plan to use the firearm. Cheers and stay safe!

Ed C. · Answer

Orin, besides the barrel length, the pistol has a pistol brace, while the rifle has a stock meant to be shouldered.  Other than those 2 differences, it is basically the same gun.
