What mount would you be using?
I know its not a TAK but the ES ED127 APO Triplet (with Hoya glass) in carbon fibre weighs only 14lbs.

22 lbs is 9.98Kg which is pretty close to the correct weight for the OTA and Dewshield with the visual back and extension tube. The tube balancing ring and clamshell add a lot.
It would be interesting to see the ES127 actually weighed on good scales.
I am only using the scope for visual and have it mounted on the T-Rex on a Berlebach Planet so about 38Kg all up. It is a definite 2-trip minimum.
