Volquartsen Summit Rifle .22 LR Magpul OD Green

Description

I was at the range with a buddy who was complaining about his finicky, ammo-sensitive .22 plinker. He wanted something that felt like a real rifle, shot like a laser, and didn’t require a degree in gunsmithing to enjoy. I handed him my Volquartsen Summit Rifle, .22 LR, Magpul OD Green Stock, Lightweight Barrel. Five magazines later, he was a believer. Here’s why.

The Volquartsen Summit Rifle, .22 LR, Magpul OD Green Stock, Lightweight Barrel is a premium, semi-automatic .22 LR rifle built on a proprietary aluminum receiver. It combines Volquartsen’s legendary accuracy and trigger with a modern Magpul Hunter stock and a lightweight, fluted barrel for a balance of precision, ergonomics, and handling that’s tough to beat in its class. It’s a no-compromise rimfire for the shooter who appreciates quality.

Let’s start with what matters most: how it shoots. I’ve put a few thousand rounds of everything from bulk pack to match-grade ammo through this platform, and its consistency is what stands out. The heart of the system is Volquartsen’s own fire control group. The trigger is simply fantastic—a clean, crisp break right around 2.5 pounds with virtually no creep or overtravel. That alone transforms the .22 LR experience, making precise shot placement intuitive rather than a fight. The lightweight, fluted barrel comes in at 16.5 inches, which keeps the overall rifle nimble and perfectly balanced in the Magpul stock. The total package weighs in at a very manageable 5.8 pounds, so it’s a joy to carry on a long walk for squirrels or to shoot offhand at steel.

The Magpul Hunter OD Green stock isn’t just for looks—it’s a full-featured chassis. It provides a solid, in-line feel that manages recoil (what little there is) beautifully and offers real adjustability with its length-of-pull spacers. The textured grip and forend give you a confident hold in all conditions. The integrated M-LOK slots on the forend mean adding a light or a bipod mount is straightforward. This setup is drop-in ready from Volquartsen; you get a complete, optimized system without needing to piece parts together. It ships as a complete rifle, ready for your FFL transfer.

Reliability is engineered in. The Summit uses a robust, fixed ejector and a hardened steel extractor that positively claws spent casings out. The bolt runs smoothly on steel rails within the aluminum receiver. I’ve found it cycles sub-sonics, standards, and high-velocity rounds with equal aplomb, though as with any semi-auto, high-velocity rounds guarantee 100% cycling. The magazine is a 10-round rotary design that feeds flawlessly and is reminiscent of the Ruger 10/22 pattern, but it’s a Volquartsen-specific unit for guaranteed fit and function. At $1002.59, you’re investing in a tool that eliminates the typical rimfire frustrations.

Pros & Cons
The pros are significant: outstanding trigger out of the box, exceptional accuracy potential, a lightweight and pointable profile, and the ergonomic benefits of the Magpul stock system. It’s incredibly reliable with quality ammo. The con for some will be the price point—this isn’t a big-box store .22. It’s a premium firearm. Also, magazines are proprietary, so you’ll want to pick up a few extras.

Who It’s For
This rifle is for the rimfire enthusiast who is tired of ‘almost’ and wants ‘definitely.’ It’s for the small game hunter who demands a first-round ethical shot, the precision plinker who enjoys ringing steel at 100 yards, or the shooter looking for a high-quality trainer that doesn’t compromise on fundamentals. If you appreciate a refined tool and understand that quality costs, this is your .22.
