Let’s talk value. At $1267.20, this isn’t your plinker’s Ruger Mark IV—it’s several steps above. You’re paying for Volquartsen’s reputation for incredible out-of-the-box triggers and barrel accuracy that can outshoot many custom jobs. The included Vortex Venom, a $200+ optic on its own, means you aren’t buying a pistol and then immediately spending more to mount a sight. That said, the total price is a serious consideration. You could buy two or three other very good .22 target pistols for the same money. The question is whether you want very good or you want the benchmark. The 6-inch barrel provides a great sight radius and velocity balance, making it a versatile choice for both steel challenge and bullseye paper punching.
Who This Pistol Is For
This is for the shooter who views .22 LR not as a cheap alternative, but as a primary training and competition tool. It’s ideal for competitors in rimfire pistol events who demand every mechanical advantage. It’s also perfect for high-volume trainers who shoot thousands of rounds a year and want a reliable, accurate platform that won’t beat up their wallet on ammunition—even if the initial investment is steep. If you’re serious about rimfire, this package eliminates guesswork.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched factory accuracy and trigger. The Vortex optic is a proven, reliable model with a great warranty. The package is truly drop-in ready—just add ammo. It’s incredibly cost-effective to feed, making the high upfront cost easier to justify over thousands of rounds. Build quality is top-notch.
Cons: The price tag is a significant barrier. It’s a niche tool, overkill for casual plinking. While the Vortex Venom is good, some competitors might prefer a different dot, but you’re still getting solid value with it included. Magazines and some parts are proprietary to Volquartsen’s design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Vortex Venom sight mounted and zeroed from the factory?
A: The sight is mounted from the factory, but like any firearm, you will need to zero it yourself with your chosen ammunition to ensure pinpoint accuracy. The included mounting system makes this process straightforward.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality ammunition, sub-1-inch groups at 25 yards are a reasonable expectation from a rest. This level of precision is what you’re paying for and is a hallmark of the Volquartsen brand.
Q: Are magazines included and are they compatible with other .22 pistols?
A: Yes, a magazine is included. Volquartsen FTV magazines are specific to their pistols and are not directly compatible with other brands like Ruger or Browning, though they share a similar lineage and high-quality construction.
Look, if you’re budgeting for a competition-grade .22 pistol that you’ll never outgrow, the Volquartsen FTV Scorpion package represents a smart long-term investment. The combined cost of a comparable base pistol, a quality optic, and a mounting solution would easily meet or exceed this bundled price. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
