About This Firearm

The Volquartsen Vanquish 22 Summit ISR is a straight-pull bolt-action .22 LR built for pest and small game work. It has an MSRP of $1,884. Its 18.5 inch ported 416R stainless barrel sits inside an integral 6061 aluminum suppressor body, and Volquartsen states the porting drops .22 LR to subsonic speeds, so ordinary high-velocity ammunition arrives quiet.

The CNC-machined receiver is Type III hard anodized with a Picatinny rail along the top, so rings or a one-piece mount go straight on, with the optic bought separately. The TGS trigger group breaks at 1.75 lbs, and the stock is a Magpul unit in black on this build.

If you're cross-shopping, the Volquartsen Vanquish 22 Superlite ISR carries the same MSRP of $1,884 and the same 18.5 inch barrel, but it is a semi-automatic at 5.31 lbs with a 2.25 lb trigger, where this one weighs 5.56 lbs. The Ruger Precision Rimfire has an MSRP of $629 and weighs 6.8 lbs, with a threaded muzzle and a conventional bolt handle, so the suppressor is a purchase on top. Volquartsen's stated reason for the straight-pull is noise, since the action never cycles on its own.

Best For

GOOD
Pest and Small Game
Cycling by hand means the shooter decides when the gun makes its next sound, which suits a stalk along a fence line where the second shot may never come. The suppressor body is Cerakoted aluminum, so the outside survives being dragged through cover.
GOOD
Training
There is no action slamming shut behind the shot, so a new shooter hears the hit on the target instead of the rifle. Each shot takes a deliberate stroke of the bolt, which slows a beginner down in a useful way.
FAIR
Suppressed Range Work
A straight-pull bolt is slower between shots than a semi-automatic, so a long card at the bench takes longer to shoot. A 1.75 lb pull also asks for a careful trigger finger in gloves.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • The bolt cycles straight back and forward with no handle to lift, so a scope can sit low over the receiver without a knob fouling it.
  • The barrel is 416R stainless and ported along its length inside the suppressor body, so the velocity drop happens before the bullet leaves the gun.
  • One factory Ruger 10/22 10-round magazine comes with it, and it feeds Ruger 10/22 magazines, so spares cost what any 10/22 owner pays.
Limitations
  • The suppressor body is machined as part of the barrel assembly, so it cannot be moved to another rifle.
  • It carries the same MSRP of $1,884 as the semi-automatic Superlite, so the bolt gun saves nothing at the counter.
  • Volquartsen builds these to order, so buying one means waiting instead of carrying it out of a shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the suppressor user-serviceable?

No. The body is machined as part of the barrel assembly, so there is no end cap to open and no stack of baffles to take out like a screw-on can has.

What optic mount does it need?

A Picatinny rail is machined into the top of the receiver, so rings or a one-piece mount cut for Picatinny fit it and no separate base is needed.

What does ISR mean in the name?

It is Volquartsen's label for the Vanquish integrally suppressed rifles, where the suppressor is part of the barrel instead of a can on the end of it.

Are there other builds of the Summit?

Volquartsen lists it with a flat dark earth stock or a flat dark earth barrel at the same price, and its chassis builds cost more.
