Volquartsen Summit
Volquartsen Firearms · Rifle · In Production · 2017
Also known as: Summit Rifle, Summit Straight-Pull
Overview
The Volquartsen Summit is a straight-pull bolt-action rimfire rifle built on a 10/22-style footprint. Its biathlon-style action lets the shooter rack the bolt quickly and quietly with a single index finger, then close it with the same finger, eliminating semi-auto blowback bolt mass for enhanced accuracy and suppressor-friendly operation. The CNC-machined receiver carries an integral Picatinny rail, the muzzle is threaded 1/2 x 28, and the TG2000 trigger group is installed. Offered with stainless or aluminum actions, lightweight or bull barrels, and Magpul, thumbhole, or chassis stocks in .22 LR, .17 HMR, .17 Mach 2, and .22 WMR.
