In April of 2022 Team Volquartsen traveled to Talladega, AL to compete in the 2022 Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships. There was instant excitement on day one when Team Volquartsen shooter Nate Gibson set a new world record in rimfire rifle optics (RFRO) which was then beat by the talented Kenshiro Nagata with his Volquartsen Ultralite rifle.

One of our newest team members, Kylie Wells broke the ladies world record in rimfire pistol optics (RFPO) and rimfire pistol irons (RFPI) setting and several stage records along the way. She placed third overall in the match in Ladies rifle and first in Ladies pistol. Other key finishes include a second place finish by Nate Gibson in rifle, a fourth place finish by Kolby Pavlock in pistol, a fifth place showing by Rick Busch in the Senior category, top 10 finishes in the rifle divisions by Cole Busch, and a top 20 finishes by Brice Jones in the rifle divisions.

Installation and How To

Installation of our Laminated Grips for the Ruger® MK IV™. Please note that these grips are not compatible with the 22/45™ models.

Target grips feature thumb rest, heel rest and finger grooves. Designed to give the shooter a relaxed, steadier hold. CNC-machined from laminated wood and available in a variety of colors.

Includes four allen head screws. An extended magazine release is included. Only compatible with standard size magazine releases. If your pistol has an extended magazine release (MK IV Hunter and Competition models), you will need to replace it with our Magazine Release for MK IV™ when installing these grips.

Product Information

Utilizing a unique button and lever combination, the VT2 requires no tools, no twisting, and no tightening.

Simply depress the takedown button, release the locking lever by pulling down, and the barrel slides effortlessly out of the receiver. The rifle is then ready to be stowed, or the barrels can easily be swapped to switch between the 22 WMR and 17 HMR calibers.

For reassembly, simply slide the barrel back into the receiver and push the locking lever back up into position.

Like everything Volquartsen, accuracy and repeatability come standard. Our unique design and exacting tolerances combine to ensure that the point of impact remains fixed even after removing and reinstalling the barrel. No matter how it's stored, the VT2 is built to be on target.

The VT2 is currently available in 22 WMR and 17 HMR calibers. This allows for the corresponding barrels to be swapped to immediately switch calibers.

The VT2 Takedown Rifle is perfect for a hunting trips, stowed away with gear during an overlanding adventure, or tucked into a backpack for quick accessibility.
