Carroll, IA ? The 17 WSM model is the latest addition to the Volquartsen Summit line of straight-pull bolt action rifles. The Summit 17 WSM features a stainless steel action, Ruger 6-round rotary magazine, and Volquartsen Laminated Wood Sporter Stock.

With the Summit 17 WSM, the customer will have the option to order with their choice of an I-fluted stainless steel barrel or a Lightweight THM Tension barrel. Keeping in line with the other Volquartsen Summit models, the 17 WSM utilizes Volquartsen's signature trigger group with a 1.75 lb. trigger pull, 20 MOA Picatinny rail, and a barrel threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI making it the perfect suppressor host.

Volquartsen Firearms President, Scott Volquartsen commented, "As much fun was it was to start building the Summit 22 LR, in the back of our minds we know it was only the beginning of what was possible from this straight-pull toggle bolt system. The toughest decision was not whether or not we would be offering more calibers, but which caliber would be next."

Volquartsen released the Summit chambered in 17 Mach 2 in January of 2019.

Unlike the 22 LR and 17 Mach 2 Summit models, the Summit 17 WSM will only be available as a complete rifle.

The Summit 17 WSM specifications:

- Barrel twist: 1:8.25"

- Barrel length: 20"

- Magazine capacity: 6-round
