Just put the deposit down and should be here Wednesday
Good deals with these members
With the scout the issue is there isn't enough barrel protruding past the cylinder.
Also given the excellent fit of their adapter there doesn't seem to be any need at all.
I don't know how Steyr manufacture their barrels rifling but if they're buttoned or hammer forged the immense forces used in these processes gives the barrel steel a kind of slightly stressed grain pattern and outer/inner 'skin', when you machine such a barrel you relieve stresses in the grain pattern and skin which can distort the bore and crown causing inaccuracy.

Considering the risk and cost of Steyr barrels (about 4 or 5 times the cost of my HW100 barrel) I'd stick with the Steyr silencer adaptor.
speaking to steyr uk a few months ago they were discontinuing the .20. I have the full length and never have found any issues with the barrel coming loose. Best fittings had a steyr adaptor if my memory is correct in both silver and black. Mine runs superb on H&N ftt's. Stupid accuracy from it returning sub half inch groups easily at 60 mtrs. That was indoors off shooting bags with very little input from me apart from touching the trigger!
Next rifle I’ll buy will be the scout SA in .22.
I remember wanting one years back score they were released and posting a link on here, only to watch the thread descend into handbag waving argument about how they were a danger to the sport etc etc.
Sometimes I’m glad to be ignorant
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
