Are you searching for the ideal pistol for competitive shooting disciplines like Steel Challenge or Rimfire Challenge? Do you need a lightweight, accurate plinker that's a joy to shoot for hours? Perhaps you're a new shooter looking for a low-recoil firearm to build fundamental skills, or a seasoned pro seeking the perfect host for a suppressor. The Volquartsen Scorpion 4.5" in OD Green directly addresses these needs and many more, setting a new standard for what a rimfire pistol can achieve.

Engineered for Excellence: Core Design and Features

The Volquartsen Scorpion 4.5" .22 LR pistol (identified by UPC 810162014483) is a testament to Volquartsen Firearms' commitment to precision engineering and superior craftsmanship. Every component is designed to work in harmony, delivering a shooting experience that is both consistent and highly satisfying.

Lightweight Construction for Extended Shooting Sessions

One of the standout attributes of the Scorpion is its impressively lightweight design. This is primarily achieved through its innovative barrel construction. The 4.5-inch barrel on this model features a tensioned carbon fiber sleeve over a stainless steel match-grade barrel. This combination significantly reduces overall weight without sacrificing accuracy or durability. For shooters participating in long practice sessions or multi-stage competitions, this reduced weight translates to less fatigue, allowing for greater focus and improved performance over time. The lightweight nature also makes it an excellent choice for new shooters who might find heavier firearms cumbersome.

The Heart of Accuracy: Match-Grade Barrel

At the core of the Scorpion's legendary accuracy is its precision-machined, match-grade stainless steel barrel. Volquartsen is renowned for their barrels, and the one integrated into the Scorpion is no exception. It features a precise bore and chamber, optimized for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, ensuring consistent bullet seating and reliable feeding. The carbon fiber sleeve not only reduces weight but also helps dissipate heat more effectively during rapid firing, maintaining barrel harmonics and preventing accuracy degradation as the barrel warms up. This meticulous attention to barrel quality is what allows the Scorpion to deliver tight groups shot after shot, making it a favorite for target shooters and competitors aiming for top scores.

Robust and Ergonomic: The OD Green Frame

The pistol's frame is CNC machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum. This robust construction provides a solid foundation for all components, contributing to the pistol's overall durability and longevity. The striking OD Green finish isn't just for aesthetics; it's a durable hard-anodized coating that resists wear, corrosion, and the rigors of frequent use in various environments.

The frame is designed with ergonomics at the forefront. It incorporates a comfortable, ambidextrous thumb rest grip, providing a natural and secure hold for shooters of all hand sizes. This ergonomic design significantly enhances control, mitigates felt recoil (though minimal in a .22 LR), and promotes consistent grip during rapid fire, leading to better accuracy and more enjoyable shooting sessions.

Crisp and Predictable: The Competition Bolt and Trigger

A key differentiator for Volquartsen pistols is their exceptional trigger and bolt system. The Scorpion features a competition bolt with a D-style firing pin and an extra-large extractor. This configuration is engineered for ultimate reliability, ensuring consistent ignition and flawless ejection of spent casings, even with a wide variety of .22 LR ammunition types. Malfunctions are minimized, allowing shooters to concentrate on their target and technique without interruption.

The trigger pull on the Scorpion is a revelation. It's a clean, crisp, and incredibly predictable single-action trigger. Volquartsen triggers are famous for their minimal take-up, a light break, and a short, positive reset. This level of trigger refinement is critical for precise shot placement, especially in competitive scenarios where every millisecond and every tenth of an inch matters. A superior trigger allows the shooter to focus on sight alignment and breath control, leading to improved accuracy and confidence.

Optics Ready Design for Versatility

The Volquartsen Scorpion 4.5" in OD Green is designed with modern shooting in mind. It comes standard with a Picatinny rail seamlessly integrated into the top of the receiver. This allows for easy and secure mounting of a variety of optics, including red dot sights, reflex sights, or even magnified scopes for extreme precision work. For competitive shooters, a red dot sight significantly speeds up target acquisition and improves accuracy on fast-paced stages. The ability to mount an optic without additional adapters or gunsmithing adds immense versatility and value to the Scorpion platform. While it is optimized for optics, the pistol also includes adjustable target sights for those who prefer iron sights or as a reliable backup.

Why Choose the Volquartsen Scorpion 4.5" OD Green?

The decision to invest in a premium rimfire pistol often comes down to specific needs and desired outcomes. The Volquartsen Scorpion excels in multiple categories, making it a top recommendation for a diverse range of shooters.

• Exceptional Accuracy: If pinpoint accuracy is your priority, the Scorpion delivers. Its match-grade barrel, combined with a superior trigger and stable platform, allows shooters to achieve their tightest groups. This is the pistol you reach for when every shot counts, whether in competition or during a precise target practice session.
• Unrivaled Reliability: The .22 LR cartridge can sometimes be finicky, but the Scorpion's competition bolt and meticulous engineering ensure consistent feeding, firing, and extraction. Spend more time shooting and less time clearing malfunctions. This reliability is crucial for both competitive performance and enjoyable recreational shooting.
• Suppressor Ready: For those interested in quiet shooting, the 4.5-inch barrel is threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI, making it perfectly ready for a suppressor. This makes the Scorpion an ideal host for a silencer, allowing for extremely quiet plinking, backyard target practice (where permissible), and low-noise training sessions without disturbing others. The carbon fiber barrel's light weight also ensures the pistol remains balanced and maneuverable even with a suppressor attached.
• Ideal for Training and Skill Development: The low recoil of the .22 LR, combined with the Scorpion's excellent ergonomics and trigger, makes it an outstanding choice for new shooters to learn fundamentals without flinching. For experienced shooters, it offers an affordable and enjoyable way to practice marksmanship, trigger control, and rapid target transitions without the cost or recoil of larger calibers.
• Competitive Edge: Many top rimfire competitors choose the Volquartsen Scorpion due to its inherent accuracy, reliability, and customizability. Its rapid target acquisition capabilities with an optic, combined with a fast cycling bolt and crisp trigger, shave precious seconds off stage times in competitive shooting.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Constructed from high-quality materials like aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, the Scorpion is built to withstand years of rigorous use. It's an investment that will provide countless hours of shooting enjoyment and consistent performance.

Performance Under Pressure: What to Expect

When you take the Volquartsen Scorpion 4.5" OD Green to the range, you'll immediately notice the difference. The balance is superb, and the pistol feels lively yet stable in hand. The OD Green finish provides a distinct aesthetic that stands out.

• Shot Consistency: Expect remarkable consistency. Group sizes typically shrink considerably compared to standard .22 LR pistols. At 25 yards, sub-1-inch groups are achievable with quality ammunition and good technique.
• Recoil Management: Recoil is virtually nonexistent, making it incredibly comfortable to shoot, even for extended periods. This minimal recoil aids in rapid follow-up shots and allows shooters to maintain their sight picture throughout the firing sequence.
• Auditory Experience (with Suppressor): If you attach a quality suppressor, the experience transforms into a whisper-quiet session, often with the loudest sound being the cycling of the bolt or the impact of the bullet on the target. This enhances the shooting experience significantly and is a major draw for many owners.
• Ease of Maintenance: Disassembly for cleaning is straightforward, ensuring that maintaining the pistol's peak performance is not a chore. The robust design means less fuss and more shooting.
