So will the only source left for precision rimfire rifles, with a Remington 700 footprint, be RimX? Hopefully, someone else will come to the rescue of Vudoo.
Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action
- Thread starter RAVAGE88
- Start date
Curtis, Deuce, Bergara, and L3I coming in fast
I understand from someone who was at SHOT show tat Vudoo had a big display booth but as I said on the single shot forum when smaller companies move out of the market knitch that made them watch out and they tried to produce a custom 1911 recently in an already crowded and established market too bad I like both of my Vudoos
Don't forget DPG!!!
IF you don't want to believe it then go look on MHSA website. MHSA has been a long time supporter and vendor for Vudoo but has been completely removed from their site. As sad and as shocking as this news is it is quite true. Vudoo, at least as we have known it, is done!
Damn. Maybe I'll pull my VGW off the WTS listing!
Maybe moot point but to me the failure to release their own mag was a canary in the coal mine...

Man got to keep my thoughts to myself for now, but We are NOT sitting by idly. The move definitely put us in an awkward situation and position. We are in this too deep and have to see this through at least for our customer's sake. I can find other ways to make a living but I enjoy the customers so much that I would rather die trying than not try at all. A lot of you have become good friends and every Saturday and Sunday evening I can count on my phone going off with happy customers sharing their results from the match. You can't find that in any other sport.
Whether you decide to do something about the supply of actions or not, there are a lot of us out here with Vudoo 360’s that need a re-barrel! My 18” Kukri isn’t quite cutting it.

I just sent you a message through the DI Precision contact form.
I don't even know what to say about this latest news. I've had 9 people come to me in the last week asking about ordering a Vudoo...
I knew they weren't answering the phones, but I assumed it was something weird.

Same.. RimX is having bolt problems, L3i Stinger is still not available and even if it were, I'm hesitatant to buy a new design, CZ would require a new chassis, Bergara is good but not on the same level and that really only leaves Curtis I guess?
Someone will step up and fill the void.
Might sell my vudoo for a premium, it was only shot on Sundays, by a little old lady, after church

The Ultimatum Duece Gen 2 is dropping very quick now. Word is that the heavy bolt manipulation and ejection have been much improved from the first Gen. Mine Gen 1 is very accurate.
Mike Bush @RAVAGE88 confided in me that his next project will be centered around the one true civilized cartridge left in this world, the 22 Hornet 
. Lol
Long live the CZ 527!
I need a classier scope on that thing.

Dave,
PLEASE work out a deal to buy their inventory of parts—or at least bolt piece/part components.
I know I feel a little sad without any spare springs, firing pins, extractors, etc…

Vudoo must have been a fairly mismanaged company to go this way. I should have waited some more before getting into rimfire 
I feel like a dummy picking one up within the last 6-7 months.
I feel like a dummy picking one up within the last 6-7 months.Yep. I would like to have all those too. I hadn’t bothered to pick up spares yet.
It was easy to see from a mile away. As soon as they announced Mike Bush was leaving it was the beginning of the end. It was one of the reasons I sold off my vudoo instead of letting them sort the issues with feeding/mags out. When the entire brains of the product leaves, the owners try to pivot to another sector that is massively saturated before even un fucking their core product.....it's doomed to fail. I posted something similar a few years ago and got hassled for it. Funny how that works.

allegedly, i have a 40x converted and built by Black Ops Precision. i dont reget having that at all, but ive had it for 8-10 years.
i have PM'd you before on this 40x conversion above. i still have the magazines with the spade on it. any way to confirm you did the work and built it? i have pictures and would like to discuss this old build with you, if you are willing.
Thanks in advance.
They put a FB post out stating they’re moving operations to Oklahoma. I would of figured something like that would of made the local news here but I haven’t heard anything 
Hey Dude, I was away for a while and came back after lots of recent outreach. Shoot me a PM, I'm sticking around for a bit.

thank you sir, ill send over something and see if you recognize it. its a badass rifle.
The Facebook post in questionThey put a FB post out stating they’re moving operations to Oklahoma. I would of figured something like that would of made the local news here but I haven’t heard anything
Interesting. From the posts above you think they’d at least let their customers like DI know and just say “hey we’re moving and delayed a bit on parts” rather than just close up without any heads up
Or that’s how it looks from my perspective
THIS!!!!!
I think there is way more going on than just moving.
Maybe they are just moving but kind of a shit way to conduct business
Most times they say hey, we’re moving our operations. People support the move and buy up parts they may need or have put off like new mags or other parts if you’re a custom builder
Just reaching over, unplugging the phone and boxing it up is probably not the way I’d go about it. Then when it hits the forums say you closed a week ago
Seems suspicious
Read this on another forum:
The real story... About a year ago we get bought out by Nomad Capitol who knows nothing about guns. They hire Jacob Herman to run the company. He's an arms dealer who knows nothing about running a production facility. He fires the original owners (Paul and Jill Parrot) who were supposed to stay on to run it. He's mostly absent, shows up a few days a month. Takes him about 9 months to ruin the company. Stopped paying vendors about 2 months ago. Comes in two weeks ago and says Vudoo is done....everyone pack your stuff and leave. A few days ago I hear he bought the company and is moving it to OK. No one is going with him. The Vudoo everyone knows is dead. All shady as heck. You're welcome to share this on forums...without my name."

So both stories are true.
Vudoo Gun Works is dead, and it's zombiefied corpse is moving to Oklahoma.
Investment/capital groups purchasing companies in the firearms space almost never goes well.
That sort of gameplay also happens to independent doctor’s practices too, although as a patient you might not know the reason why suddenly wait times are long and there never seems to be enough staff.
For example, in my town there was an esteemed cataract surgeon who owned his own practice. He must’ve gotten tired of running the joint and sold to some hedge fund but he remained working there.
The hedge fund cut staff (and who knows what else) to increase profitability. Found this out after waiting over an hour past my initial appointment, along with many other grumbling people in the wait room.
Obviously I didn’t go with that place.

FIXED IT! My time in the industry proved this out. I saw great (profitable) companies stripped bare and thrown in the trash can by Hedge Funds and capital groups. Many good friends lost jobs because of it.
Jump in a Time Machine, call them in 2009 w an issue, return to today and make the same call. Decide for yourself if the corporation that owns them is doing a better job for the customer.
