Volquartsen .17WSM rifles

[Haakman]

It looks like Volquartsen is currently developing a semi auto rifle chambered for the 17 Win Super mag rimfire round!

https://www.volquartsen.com/page/17wsm

According to that page there they will be taking orders at shotshow 2014. are you guys gonna go there? if so Please put in an order!!!
I'd be all over that rifle immediatly! So far it seems the only commercial rifle for the 17WSM is the svage B mag (and maybe one other?) and I've seen less than stellar reviews on it. But knowing Volquartsen they'll make a damn fine rifle for it.

It's an all new rifle, apperently you can't just rebarrel a .17hmr rifle for 17WSM due to its longer length.

please please please! order some up for the canadian rimfire market! and count me in for the first rifle!

Cheers
Haakman

Hopefully they can get some accuracy out of this round. Has potential but until accuracy matches HMR, I'll pass.

From the link

Standard magazine capacity will be 8 rounds

 

[Jamesbax]

Still even with 8 rounds this could be a great varmint gun, if they can get the demos to work properly

 

[JR Hartman]

would be great! should be able to be fitted with larger cap mags and they are rimfire.

Get the cost of the rifles in place, and keep/push the ammo costs down and this might be fun!

Wow... Cool stuff!!! Any semi auto rifle for it beside the one being developed?

 

[mwjones]

For the low LOW price of $3k, i'll bet they'll be pretty nice

Nice video, shows actual footage of a yote getting shot ... I bet the animal rights activists were all over that one

 

[griffin86]

Cool, I wish there was photos of the gun though.

Holy price tag batman

 

[RPgunguy]

Seems 223 would perform just as well (better) and little benefit if using a bolt gun (cost of ammo). But new stuff is neat. (Acknowledge hi cap for rimfire)

I'm waiting for Savage to come out with a heavy barrel version.

Bolt gun.................
