Volquartsen Summit build.

[dinky450]

Been eyeing one of these for awhile and decided to give it a go. I have seen lots of mixed reviews on accuracy and have multiple barrels to play with since it's 10/22 platform. I was reading the aluminum reciver did not feel as tight compared to the stainless, seemed stainless was the way to go. Hopefully I can get it to shoot on the side of accuracy and not the other reports I have read.

Parts list.

Volquartsen SS summit reciver.
Kidd 20in SS match barrel.
Kidd single stage 1.5 trigger group.
MDT Oryx chassis.

Did you get fancy assembly pins in the mix? Or are you just going to use ruger factory style?

I have Kidd threaded pins in the drawer I'll add. Once I get it shooting and the bugs worked out I'll add them.

Got to mount the scope and get a range day.

How do you find the action? I haven't heard much about the new ones but as I recall the early ones were hit-or-miss on how smothley the toggle cycled

It's seems really smooth, probably will get better over time I would imagine. Midwest gun works was the best price I could find. It was definitely not cheap so it took awhile to decide to make a purchase. We will see how it does hoping it's equal or better then the 10/22 build I have going. The unknown of 114 pushed it along faster

Should be a great setup, my son and I both shoot Kidd 10/22's with the same barrel and they shoot very well.

Got out to the range today and got to test some ammo. Did really well at 50yards, then the sun came up in the grass field. The rain yesterday and wet grass caused way too much heat wave in the scope. I was able to get a few decent groups. These are the best out of the bunch.

I will definitely have to re-shim the barrel as the bolt broke in a little bit and the head spacing is a little lose.
