Description
Picture this: you’re on the range, the wind is a non-factor, and your target is a ragged hole at 50 yards. You need a rimfire pistol that feels like an extension of your will, where the only variable is your own discipline. That’s where the Volquartsen Scorpion .22 WMR, Target Sights, VZ Grips, Black, 9rd enters the frame. This isn’t just a plinker; it’s a purpose-built, high-velocity target system engineered for one-handed precision where every shot counts.
The Volquartsen Scorpion .22 WMR, Target Sights, VZ Grips, Black, 9rd is a premium, semi-automatic target pistol built on a custom aluminum receiver. Chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), it features a 6-inch fluted bull barrel, fully adjustable target sights, and aggressive VZ Grips for superior control. With a 9-round magazine capacity and a crisp, match-grade trigger, it’s designed for competitive edge and demanding recreational shooting. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Let’s talk about what makes this pistol stand apart. The heart of the system is the .22 WMR cartridge—it delivers significantly more velocity and energy than standard .22 LR, extending your effective range and ensuring consistent target impact. Paired with Volquartsen’s legendary 6-inch fluted bull barrel, you get a rigid platform that minimizes vibration and maximizes accuracy. The fully adjustable target sights are machined, not stamped, allowing for precise, repeatable corrections. They lock down solidly, so your zero stays put round after round.
Then there’s the grip. The included VZ Grips aren’t an afterthought; they’re a critical interface. Their textured, G10 composite material provides an absolutely secure purchase, even with sweaty hands. This control is essential for managing the snappier recoil impulse of the .22 WMR and executing clean, consistent trigger presses. Speaking of which, the trigger is where Volquartsen’s reputation is earned. It’s a clean-breaking, short-reset trigger that feels like it belongs on a pistol costing twice as much. The result? You shoot faster and more accurately because the gun gets out of your way.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t a gun you’ll need to tinker with. It’s drop-in ready for serious work right from the case. The build quality is evident in the tight fit of the slide to the receiver and the smooth, reliable feed from the 9-round magazine. Weighing in at approximately 48 ounces, it has a substantial, steady feel that aids in off-hand shooting stability. The black anodized finish is durable and provides a clean, professional look suitable for the range or field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Volquartsen Scorpion compatible with other .22 WMR ammunition brands?
A: Yes. It is designed to cycle reliably with a wide range of quality .22 WMR ammunition from major manufacturers like CCI, Federal, and Hornady. As with any precision firearm, testing different loads is recommended to find what your specific barrel prefers.
Q: Can the target sights be replaced with an optic?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept a common rimfire optic rail, which allows you to mount a red dot or pistol scope. This makes it a versatile platform for both iron-sight purists and those who prefer a dot.
Q: How does it compare to a Ruger Mark IV for .22 WMR?
A: While both are excellent, the Volquartsen is a step above in terms of fit, finish, and performance-ready features. Think of it as a custom-tuned, competition-spec version right from the factory. The trigger, barrel, and grip are all upgraded components you’d typically have to add to a base model.
