Anyone have any experience with one of these? I like the fact that they use AR mags, and it must be accurate if their rimfire offerings are any indicator. It kinda seems like what I wish the Mini-14 was. An accurate piston driven rifle that allows a scope to be mounted closer to the bore relative to AR style semi-autos. I just can't find much user info on these. I am mainly interested in the .204 version.

For two grand, I'd rather buy something like a SCAR or ACR...or 2 more AR15s. 
Great concept, though, and a slick looking rifle, but too much for what it is. Well, I guess I'm just looking for a new direction to go. I just completed my 3rd and 4th AR(a MGI 7.62x39 and a DI 45acp AR pistol). I'm just waiting for approval on the suppressors on these two. I had a mini-30 up until last year and liked it a lot. The only reason I sold it was because it started to FTE because of a worn extractor from all the steel cased ammo. I lost all confidence in its reliability after this. The Volquartsen just seems sleeker and less bulky than the SCAR, ACR, and even the AR. I know the Mini-30 felt less bulky compared to any of my AR's. But I do have to admit, I wish the price was a little closer to the $1,500 dollar range. |
| My only experience with Volquartsen is with their 10/22 stuff. After I got a standard 10/22T and started monkeying with all the stock parts, my buddies went out and did the same. The one guy that bought a full on Volquartsen (he's loaded) was the worst shooter of the bunch. That being said, it was a good shooting rifle, but not as good as what we were able to do by massaging stock parts or buying aftermarket. |
