Vudoo closed for business?

On other forums it is said that Vudoo Gun Works has closed its doors. A post saying this was "liked" by Mike Bush on SH.
Other posts on Rimfire Accuracy and Accurate Shooter confirm this news.

I would have liked to purchase a vudoo one day. Hopefully I can find one when I am ready

 

[Max Owner]

People were buying them. The gold standard.

They did stop selling just actions a couple of months ago.

Website is still up.

So, does that make the Vudoos' that are available worth more or less?

With the explosion of rimfire PRS, and rimfire in general, seems odd.

Word is they closed up shop last Tuesday.

WHUUUPS ! - There go prices if this turns out to be a 'looong closure'.

With Vudoo closing and focusing more on the hand gun industry in the US, it marks a sad day for the PRS Rimfire market.

Buuuuuut, there are still other fantastic options out there. The new Ultimatum Duece 2.0 looks very promising and the Rim-X is still a proven option.

Both which can still be ordered as bare actions and barrelled any way you see fit. Bonus is that they are more readily available in Canada as well!

RimX is a much better option than the Duece

Have you used or have experience with the Duece 2.0?

I’d agree with the original Duece. They took a bit of tweaking to feed and run right but I’ve seen a few on the line that when the owner took the time, they run good.

The Rim-X is a solid option that takes minimal adjustment. Mag height and basically done. I own and have ran one for three years of competition with little to no issues at all.

The videos and early reviews of the new Duece 2.0 looks very promising to promising to ignore! Should have one shortly to compare side by side with the Rim-X.

There seems to be a problem with RimX. There is a “galling “ of the bolt etc. Don’t know if it’s been fixed yet

The new Deuce is in a different league than the original deuce

That is some hilariously bad corporate communication.

They're moving from Utah to Alabama I believe. - dan

Whoops, Oklahoma.

 

[TylerCJ]

Good to hear it is just a rumour! I couldn’t wrap my head around why they would close. They practically reignited the market of precision Rimfire!

 

[Mik123]

Their communication department (if it exists) dropped the ball.

Proven to gall bolt lugs like that's its job.

Many who got the Deuce will dispute that…. specially in view of Rim X quality problems and the fact that you cannot load a single round without breaking the extractor…thats a design flaw..never adressed. Rounds need to be feeded by the magazine only. Not good enough.

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."


Interesting and weird
