Description
There is quiet, and then there is this thing. The Angstadt Arms Vanquish 22 Summit was built in collaboration with Volquartsen, the folks who have spent decades squeezing every last bit of accuracy out of rimfire platforms. The heart of the rifle is an 18.5 inch integrally suppressed barrel with precision porting that bleeds off enough gas to bring standard velocity .22 LR down to subsonic speeds. No crack, no fuss, just a soft thump and the sound of your bullet hitting steel. And because the suppressor section uses a baffle-free design, cleaning is quick and lead buildup never becomes the headache it can be with traditional rimfire cans.
Why the Vanquish 22 Summit Runs So Quiet
The Summit straight-pull action is the other half of the equation. Unlike a semi-auto, there is no reciprocating bolt clacking back and forth with every shot, so the mechanical noise basically disappears. Cycle the bolt straight back, straight forward, and you are ready for the next round. It feeds from Ruger 10/22 pattern magazines, ships with a 10-round rotary mag, and the Bentz match chamber holds tighter tolerances than a standard sporter chamber for a real accuracy bump. The Volquartsen TGS trigger breaks at a crisp 1.75 pounds, which is the kind of trigger you usually only find on dedicated match guns.
Built Like a Rifle You Will Keep Forever
The receiver is CNC-machined aluminum with a Type III hardcoat anodized finish and an integrated Picatinny rail up top, so mounting your favorite scope or red dot is simple. The whole package sits in a Magpul X-22 Hunter synthetic stock in Flat Dark Earth, a comfortable, adjustable-feel stock that looks as good in the field as it does on the bench. At the range, on the trapline, or teaching a new shooter without the noise, the Vanquish 22 Summit is the kind of rimfire that spoils you for everything else. Feed it standard velocity or subsonic ammo and enjoy how quiet a .22 can really be.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quiet is the Vanquish 22 Summit compared to a rifle with a thread-on suppressor?
It is one of the quietest rimfire setups out there. The ported barrel bleeds off gas so standard velocity ammo stays subsonic, which removes the supersonic crack entirely, and the straight-pull action eliminates the bolt noise you get from a semi-auto. The result is a rifle where the loudest sound is often the firing pin and the bullet hitting the target.
What ammo works best in the Angstadt Arms Vanquish 22 Summit?
Standard velocity and subsonic .22 LR are the sweet spot since the porting keeps those rounds below the sound barrier. The Bentz match chamber will not accept CCI Stinger because that round uses a longer case than standard .22 LR. If you want a hotter load, CCI Velocitor uses a normal case length and runs fine, though you give up some of the quiet.
Does the Vanquish 22 Summit use Ruger 10/22 magazines?
Yes, it feeds from standard Ruger 10/22 pattern magazines, and one 10-round rotary magazine comes with the rifle. That means cheap, easy-to-find mags everywhere, including higher capacity aftermarket options if you want more rounds between reloads.
Is the baffle-free suppressor design hard to clean?
Just the opposite, easy maintenance is one of the big selling points. With no baffle stack to collect lead and carbon, there is nothing to scrape or soak, and no baffles means no chance of a baffle strike. Standard .22 cleaning gear handles routine upkeep, and the front cap removes by hand.
