This video from SHOT Show 2020 features Steve Ostrem interviewing Scott Volquartsen of Volquartsen Firearms about their Summit rifle chambered in .17 WSM. The rifle boasts a stainless steel receiver with DLC coating, a TG2000 trigger with a 1.75 lb pull, a choice of stainless steel or carbon fiber barrel with a threaded muzzle, and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail. It utilizes Volquartsen's straight-pull bolt system and accepts Ruger rotary magazines. The video highlights the rifle's balanced design and Ostrem's eagerness to test it at the range.
This video reviews the Volquartsen Summit rifle, highlighting its PWS design and Volquartsen's renowned build quality. The reviewer initially experienced accuracy issues attributed to an over-tightened v-block. After adjustment, the rifle achieved sub-1-inch 10-shot groups at 50 yards with various ammunition types. The reviewer concludes that for those who appreciate the PWS design and desire a higher quality standard, the Volquartsen Summit is an excellent choice.
