Volquartsen rifles

[fabsroman]

10 years ago, I would never have dreamt about buying a rimfire for $1,000, but the more I think about it, I have close to that in my 10/22 right now. Original gun $200, Volquartsen TG2000 trigger group $200, Butler Creek bull barrel that shot poorly $100, Green Mountain Barrel $100, Hogue stock $80. That is almost $700 and the Volquartsen rifles come with the fluted barrel and the really nice receiver. Again, 10 years ago I would never have dreamt about paying that for a rimfire, but 10 years ago I had my eyes set on a bunch of clay shooting shotguns that cost $3K. Now, I have all the shotguns I need, plus some extras, and the only other one I want is in the $10K category and will not be purchased for many years unless I win the lottery. I have bolt rifles in .220 Swift, .270 Win, .30-06, and .300 Win Mag. After the AR's and the .25-06, I am going to start running out of reasonable calibers to purchase, so why not get a Volquartsen rimfire. The only other thing rifle I want is a Sako TRG 42 rifle in .338 Lapua Mag. and maybe something in .416 Rigby or .458 Win, but I hate heavy recoil, as does my back.

The rimfires are fun to shoot for hours on end and they will be great once I have kids.
