Does this rifle have a standard barrel or a heavy barrel

That one has the standard #2 contour sporter barrel. If you want one with a heavy bull barrel (with grey cerakote finish) check out this weatherguard. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/719017993/wby+vanguard+223rem+20+weatherguard+h-bar I have one of these in .308 and it's a real sweet shooter. You would be sacrificing 4 inches of barrel length over the sporter though. There might be a 22 inch h-bar model as well.
