Vudoo Gun Works

Vudoo Gun Works is a high-end, premium firearms manufacturer best known for pioneering the precision rimfire rifle category. Founded in St. George, Utah, the company became famous by building .22 LR rifles that mimic full-scale centerfire precision rifles. This allowed competitive shooters to train on a cost-effective platform without sacrificing the weight, ergonomics, or feel of their primary match rifles.

The company has experienced significant corporate changes, including a change in ownership, a brief operational pause, and a complete relocation of its manufacturing operations.

Core Products & Industry Impact

Vudoo Gun Works built its elite reputation on a few flagship product lines:

• The V-22 and 360 Actions: Their core innovation was building a precision .22 LR action on a true Remington 700 footprint using controlled-round feeding. This design allows shooters to use premium aftermarket Remington 700 stocks, chassis, and triggers. It has become a gold standard for competitions like NRL22 and PRS Rimfire.

Ownership Changes and Corporate Turmoil

In July 2024, Vudoo Gun Works announced a major transition. The company was acquired from its original founders (Paul and Jill Parrott) by private equity firm Nomad Capital, and Jacob Herman was appointed as the new CEO.

Following the buyout, the brand faced severe turbulence. Consensus discussions among users on the Accurate Shooter Forum and Canadian Gun Nutz detailed significant management and fulfillment issues during this period. The company reportedly failed to deliver rifles that customers had pre-paid for, struggled to source components, lacked staff to run machinery, and stopped communicating with dealers regarding refunds. This led to widespread rumors in early 2025 that the company was closing permanently.

Relocation to Oklahoma

To resolve these issues and restructure operations, CEO Jacob Herman acquired the brand assets out of the private equity fallout and coordinated a complete corporate relocation.

In mid-2025, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced that Vudoo Gun Works would officially move its headquarters and manufacturing from Utah to Prague, Oklahoma. Backed by an $8.3 million investment, Vudoo moved into an existing precision machining and firearms facility capable of on-site accuracy testing. After briefly pausing operations during the cross-state transition, the company resumed order fulfillment and manufacturing out of its Oklahoma facility
