I suspect that Volquartsen charges enough that they can afford to test and fine tune each individual rifle to make sure that the spring strength is just right.
Not the recoil spring that they messed with. They actually took the Magnum Research design and perfected it. Their rifle uses a spring piston gas buffer to level out the pressure curve. The gas bleed port pressurizes a chamber with a spring loaded gas piston in it. The spring in that chamber combined with the mass of the piston equalizes the pressure curve and effectively delays the bolt coming out of battery. The result is a safe and reliable action for the .17HMR. The .22WMR has similar problems and Volquartsen makes the same rifle so chambered.
Volquartsen charges what they do because they make probably the highest precision small bore, semi-auto rifles on the planet and people will pay it.
With regards to high capacity magazines, I know hk made them for their model 300 in, I believe, 15 round capacity. They will make a good size dent in your wallet though (for the mags and gun).

Baikal supposedly makes their MP161K in 22WMR and 17HMR. At least, they're reputed to exist . I suspect they are simple blowback, though . At least you can buy new mags for their 22LR model, now
