I'm very happy to see Volquartsen picked up the rifle. I bought the PWS verison back in 2015 and have to admit most of my bolt action .22s have turn into safe queens. Very happy with it and its a great suppressor host! Volquartsen advised that the biggest changes were the firing pin, firing pin spring and extractor. They sell these parts as an upgrade kit. (Part number VCB-FE) BTW, nice groups and thanks for shining a light on what I think is a great rifle!
I have the original Summit T3 receiver from PWS. It has a 18" fluted Fedderson bull barrel installed in a MagPul stock. Trigger is a single stage Kidd set at 2lbs. Nice that Volquartsen picked up the T3 from PWS when they stopped production of them. It was always a hard to get item from PWS, as they only manufactured them every so often. I also have a Sparrow on mine.
That action looks similar to my Browning T Bolt’s action. Smooth, fast and accurate. There is a reason that Olympic competition rifles use a similar design.
I got to handle a Summit and really love the way it works. I have a receiver on order for a build with a lightweight stock and lightweight 1:9 twist barrel to give me the quietest operation and best accuracy with Aguila's 60 grain Sniper Subsonic.
The toggle action has been used for a while on 22 biathalon rifles, very fast and ergonomic. I have a Russian 22 target rifle I bought for about $450 before the import ban that has a carbon fiber barrel and it is about that accurate with a scope.
-- Out of all the firearms I owned and used for work. The purity of firing a .22lr bolt, is my favorite to shoot. I see the benefits of this action. Think I will pick up this rifle. But the traditional bolts. Every shot is a brand new story.
Thanks for the video. Mine is supposed to be shipping out next week. Scott V. told me they've been hitting consistent .375" 10-shot groups at 50 yards with everyday plinking ammunition. They are experimenting with other barrels, but I stayed with the carbon fiber lightweight barrel since that's what they'd been testing with since September. I got their laminated lightweight silhouette stock on mine. Incredibly balanced and ergonomic. This is going to be my competition smallbore silhouette rifle. I can't wait for it to arrive!
@@bhief473 Well that old comment was from three years ago and they were less expensive at the time. I believe now they are around $1400-1500 for a similar configuration. Phenomenal rifle.
I like it,just think it was BrowninG that invented that action. The Browning Acera was once offered by Browning until about 6 or 7 years ago,it had this very same action,but was chamber in .30-06 and .300 Winchester Magnum.
I think that bolt action is super. Remind's me of the Blaser rifles and of course, the Swiss K-31's too. That is super neat on this .22 rifle. I think THIS is 'much more better good' too!!!
LOL I think a squirrl's eye is about 1 click with a 1/4 MOA scope at 100 yards, 2 at 50, and 5 at 25 yards. If you're using a scope with MIL adjustments, you're gonna have to do your own math
22plinkster You should consider doing some ammo reviews. Take a consistent rifle like this and chrono some of the CCI's vs Federal's etc, along with accuracy tests. That would be interesting to me and probably several other folks.
CCI standard velocity shoot better out to 100 for me than Federals. Odd, as I would have thought they'd be similar but better quality on the federal match. Mini-mags outshot the match ammo for me. Sadly my 597 decided it likes the $20/box ELEY better than anything else. Shoots half the group size of any other match ammo I've tried, and is amazingly accurate out to 200 yards.
1-1/4 at 100 is about all I could squeeze out of my 10-22 100 dollar ER Shaw 16 inch bull barrel magpul stock DIY trigger job.I still love my Ruger but now I shoot a Bergara B14R it shoots consistently 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch when the stars align.
Can we see some more distance challenges in .22 in the future? (as suggestion, with my fellow friend we used to shoot .223 casings at 50 yards, with my modest Armscor 14P, 9x chinese scope and CCI std ammo I managed 6 in a row, or try shotgun shells at 100 yards) - pretty sure you can up the game with .22 short casings and playing cards... Keep up the good work!
I noticed you're using my favorite ammo, Federal Ultra-Match @~$8.00/50 but would you expect the group size to shrink much using summa dat $20/50 ELEY, Wolf, Lapua, etc.?
That's a real good shooting rifle. Very impressive for a factory rim fire. As good as you are, the only obstacle is the weather and the quality of the ammo. Just remember one thing. If you can't hit your target, shoot bigger bullets!
Hey Plinkster! We are Patriot Knives and Gear, we're at the Gun & Knife Show in Dickson, TN this weekend (28&29 APR). I know you and Hikok are both in this area. Are we far from you and is there a chance you'll be here? Thanks for the videos!
Gotta drop that trigger weight mate. I run all my rifle between 1 - 1.5 lbs (except my Sharps set trigger - 7ozs, lol). Top stuff!! They should be in Oz hopefully soon, shown at our 2018 SHOT Show.
I know there are sponsor obligations, but could we ever see what the accuracy is with Lapua or Eley? I've found they shrunk my group sizes considerably. Eley has been my best experience, but the overwhelming support for Lapua in the rimfire world says their match ammo must be on point also.
As reviewed...maybe a $1200 .22RF. Love it...but a Remington/Glenfield Model 60 with Tasco/'China-tech' budget scope would probably do about as well (future video?) for ~$800 less.
I am sure you have shot their semi-auto action rifles too. They have worked miracles with the 10-2 action. Do you see any accuracy improvement that can be attributed to the toggle action over the semi?
I am seriously interested in this action type. With a 10/22 shooting suppressed (a lot) the mild back pressure eventually gums up your action and receiver. Have you done any extensive shooting with this (suppressed) and if so does this design cut back on any cleaning regiments? Do you still have to break down the gun and clean the action? About what should I expect in this regard vs a semi auto 10/22?
What brand and height of rings ? I've always had to spend the most time on finding the correct ring hight to make sure the scope is as low to the bore axis as possible.......
I keep watching these videos and think I must have lucked out with my stock 455 Scout (I only lightened the trigger with a .75¢ spring). I've lost count of the number of 1/4" or less groups I've shot at 50yds with CCI subsonic or Aguila standard off a cheap bag perched on the bed wall of my pick-up truck.
I like that action. It appears to be better than my Ruger American, that uses 10/22 magazines. How available are the actions? Are 80% receivers available? With all the 10/22 compatibility, an 80% receiver would be really the cat's meow.
Plinkster, who wins VOLQUARTSEN SUMMIT or LITHGOW ARMS LA101?Im trying to decide which one would work best for me suppressed using an Atn XII for small varmints in the 50-100yd range.Thanks
Did TH-cam come too it's senses on firearms videos? Glad to see a new video. If I did not see the email, I would have never seen this new one as I stopped looking at TH-cam after the announced their stupid new firearms policy. I hope enough people like me not opening TH-cam made them wake up to their discrimination of a legal activity.
Looking for a general sense of how much effort it takes to throw the Bolt. It seems pretty effortless. Near $1300 though is a bit steep, but a sweet rifle.
The other difference in mine: you need three fingers to pull the lever back, and thumb heel to close it. Did you polish yours, or otherwise improve the action?
2.5 to 3 pounds trigger sounds heavy for precision shooting... I have the flyweight trigger on my CZ455 currently set to around 250 grams pull, so 0.55 pounds. Still safe if I hit the stock with a mallet, but amazingly light for precision shooting... I've seen competition rifles from Walther or Anschutz with 1/4 pound triggers...
Vertical stringing..... I'd be looking at different ammunition. Especially in rounds as slow as .22lr, inconsistent muzzle velocity can really show in groups
Back in the day, we pronounced it: Lew-pold, not Leopold......spelled Leupold? In biathlon, it’s a Fortner bolt, after the inventor, but you push the rear of the bolt, not the pull lever....some put a bloop tube on the end, not suppressor.....the hooded front sight rides the end of that...longer sight plane on peep sights.
I bought mine for almost a month. Shot a 03" at 50 yards cant be much more better good LOL But i still need a bipod and a new stock cuz the magpul grip is a bit too thin for me. Do you have any recommendation?
"Much more better good" I love it.
oops, I guess it pays to read the comments before duplicating them.
Jim, I was kinda thinkin' hot diggity damn good, myself! That action is as slick as a cat's ass.
And leopold!
I realize I am pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?
I'm going to use this when applicable.
I always enjoy your videos. I'm glad you have started including caliper measurements of your group sizes. It's really helpful.
I'm very happy to see Volquartsen picked up the rifle. I bought the PWS verison back in 2015 and have to admit most of my bolt action .22s have turn into safe queens. Very happy with it and its a great suppressor host!

That's probably the sweetest 10/22 I've ever seen. I love how quiet it is
Not a 10/22
I just like that he's solid on calling his group size. Pretty much spot on with no exaggerating.
You need to make a shirt that says "that's much more better good"
"Minute of Squirrel at a hundred yards." Hahaha
I have the original Summit T3 receiver from PWS. It has a 18" fluted Fedderson bull barrel installed in a MagPul stock. Trigger is a single stage Kidd set at 2lbs.

Very impressive. I just bought a stock and 20” .920 fluted/threaded barrel from KSA.. and a Ruger BX trigger. Can’t wait to see what it will do.

OD, What is the brand name on your Russian 22?
@@ivermec-tin666 It's an Izhmash, not sure what model. Too bad Russian firearms are not being imported, they have some unique and clever guns.
Nice video Dave. Love the rifle, it is very accurate. I love the 10/22 bolt action. Awesome
That optic! Gold ring of glory
Vx3. Do they start at $500?
Pretty accurate rifle. I have to get in a bit closer with my 67 year old Mossberg and 49 year old 4x Western Field scope.
And i need one of these! Thanks for the review!
Great review! Hopefully we can see soon a review on the Tikka t1x, I have high expectations for that rifle.
Man that's a slick setup with that action.

I like the push pull action. Thanks for the video
Volquartsen Summit receivers are available in stainless now, too.
"That's much more better good." 😄 Great video review on the Volquartsen Summit!
I like it,just think it was BrowninG that invented that action.
The Browning Acera was once offered by Browning until about 6 or 7 years ago,it had this very same action,but was chamber in .30-06 and .300 Winchester Magnum.
I've never understood why more companies don't use the Fortner Bolt. So easy and quick for a. 22!
I think that bolt action is super. Remind's me of the Blaser rifles and of course, the Swiss K-31's too. That is super neat on this .22 rifle. I think THIS is 'much more better good' too!!!
Don’t forget “minute of squirrel” 😂 love it
Yes Kyle, I couldn't work that in to a comment here, as the best I can do these days is maybe, 'minute of cow!'
They just copied the ISSC spa and the Steyr rfr
LOL I think a squirrl's eye is about 1 click with a 1/4 MOA scope at 100 yards, 2 at 50, and 5 at 25 yards. If you're using a scope with MIL adjustments, you're gonna have to do your own math
I think they took a page from the pellet rifle community with the side lever cocking and I love it
Great review you "Rimfire Rat" 😉 Thanks plinkster love your channel!

@@leftyeh6495 some of the volquartzen only recommended shooting non coated ammo only. I know i need to shoot lead only out of my Volquartzen Scorpion
Nice rifle and good video as always.
That’s a gorgeous rifle
My FX Impact has a tighter group at 100... thank you for sharing.
That's a beautiful gun!
Keep on plinking and we will come to see it.
1-1/4 at 100 is about all I could squeeze out of my 10-22 100 dollar ER Shaw 16 inch bull barrel magpul stock DIY trigger job.I still love my Ruger but now I shoot a Bergara B14R it shoots consistently 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch when the stars align.
It would be fun to see a shoot-out between this Volquartsen Summit, a Ruger Precision, your Lothar, a CZ-52 & a CZ-55
Because I whoud love to own one
"Much more better good" or did you mean, "Much more better Gooder"? lol, love it, thumbs heavenward, AND subscribed.
Can we see some more distance challenges in .22 in the future? (as suggestion, with my fellow friend we used to shoot .223 casings at 50 yards, with my modest Armscor 14P, 9x chinese scope and CCI std ammo I managed 6 in a row, or try shotgun shells at 100 yards) - pretty sure you can up the game with .22 short casings and playing cards... Keep up the good work!
Your a good kid great video young man
Would love to see a video about how these adjustable rails work for distance
Much more better goiod... love it.
Excellent rifle. If I'm right the biathlon team uses a similar, push- pull design on their rifles. I saw that on TV once.
Pws designed this action for our shooters who couldn’t take their 10/22s over to liberal Europe
man i havent had good luck with my volquartsen trigger, its a kidd 2 stage or nothing for me, but that is a pretty cool gun
I noticed you're using my favorite ammo, Federal Ultra-Match @~$8.00/50 but would you expect the group size to shrink much using summa dat $20/50 ELEY, Wolf, Lapua, etc.?
Nice video. Looks like a mini Bergara B14 HMR
Honestly I was checking out that awesome scope more than the gun lol
that is one beautiful machine .
That's a real good shooting rifle. Very impressive for a factory rim fire. As good as you are, the only obstacle is the weather and the quality of the ammo. Just remember one thing. If you can't hit your target, shoot bigger bullets!
Nice rifle. Good shooting.
You need to do video with Kristen Joy Weiss. She's big Volquartsen fan too.
That's what I was thinking. lol
I would pay to see that video!
I'm pretty sure he's already appeared on her channel. But, yes, more of that please.
Yes!!!!
Why would you pay to see that video
Nice review
Great rifle. Any reviews about the Chiappa Little Badger ?
Hey Plinkster! We are Patriot Knives and Gear, we're at the Gun & Knife Show in Dickson, TN this weekend (28&29 APR). I know you and Hikok are both in this area. Are we far from you and is there a chance you'll be here? Thanks for the videos!
how does he not have 1 million subscribers yet
Would have loved to see this with Lapua center-x ammo. The deviation here may be the ammo
Gotta drop that trigger weight mate. I run all my rifle between 1 - 1.5 lbs (except my Sharps set trigger - 7ozs, lol).
Top stuff!! They should be in Oz hopefully soon, shown at our 2018 SHOT Show.
T-Shirt idea. "Going for groups, not bullseye" :)
That was pretty COOL MAN.😁
I want one!!😍

It would be really cool to see that type of action in a pistol
I bought a Steyr 17HMR with the same kind of action.
Can you do a strip down and how the push pull mechanism works please?
I am sure you have shot their semi-auto action rifles too. They have worked miracles with the 10-2 action. Do you see any accuracy improvement that can be attributed to the toggle action over the semi?
Much more better good. You've said that multiple times now😂😂
He Dave. How about a test/review of the Steyr Mannlicher RFR 22LR Rifle Another straight pull toggle bolt rifle
Hey 22plinkster I'm willing to bet that you cannot split 2 playing cards with a double barrel M1911 45 at the same time
Have you ever shot a suppressed 10/22 that had the bolt buffer swapped with a plaatic/nylon one? Greatly reduces the noise from cycling
For sure, much more better good! 😎
Woul;d love to see your groups if you used Eley Tenex. The rifle is one of the best, now try the best ammo available to the public.
very cool
Great design
That's a nice rifle. Good shooting as usual. Thanks for the review!
Good idea on the pull action...
Geez i need one
I know 22lr is a light recoiling round but wow that rifle doesn't move
I am seriously interested in this action type. With a 10/22 shooting suppressed (a lot) the mild back pressure eventually gums up your action and receiver.

What brand and height of rings ? I've always had to spend the most time on finding the correct ring hight to make sure the scope is as low to the bore axis as possible.......
Bolt action 10/22......I'll stick with my CZ 455 Varmint , customized for half the price and all the accuracy.
Good choice
I do not think so....
Looks like a semi auto.. without the semi... looks luke it doea not have a true bolt head like a real bolt action. Am i wrong?
What about with one of those 10/22 integrally suppressed barrels?
I keep watching these videos and think I must have lucked out with my stock 455 Scout (I only lightened the trigger with a .75¢ spring). I've lost count of the number of 1/4" or less groups I've shot at 50yds with CCI subsonic or Aguila standard off a cheap bag perched on the bed wall of my pick-up truck.
Vertical stringing.
Maybe in part the barrel getting warm. Very likely shooter not consistently breathing shot to shot.

Have you ever had any experience with the magnum research 22lr or 22 wmr rifles?
Looking for a general sense of how much effort it takes to throw the Bolt. It seems pretty effortless. Near $1300 though is a bit steep, but a sweet rifle.
If you could have just one 22 lr for the best accuracy for squirrel shooting and NRL what would it be?
The other difference in mine: you need three fingers to pull the lever back, and thumb heel to close it. Did you polish yours, or otherwise improve the action?
I'd love to see a rifle challenge between 22Plinkster, Kristen Joy Weiss, and Ted from Ted's Holdover on this FX air rifle.

I will use this argument on the wife
Can you make a 2022 version of the Summit but get and install a Ruger LVT 20" barrel & see how it does.
Nice
Dog gonnit. You get the rifles, scopes, tripods and shells sent to you to try. I would like that for me also.
