(Sturgis, South Dakota) Parkwest Arms, firmly planted in the little South Dakota town of Sturgis is still going strong. Through ownership, management, and name changes, one constant still exists, a team that continuously creates one-of-a-kind firearm masterpieces. Since Steve Rabackoff acquired the company, Parkwest Arms has had an impressive 18-month stretch of growth that included an increase in revenue annually as well as continued expansion to its already impressive line of quality firearms and services.

The company attributes its on-going success to not only the loyal retailers, but the customers who returned after they feared the facility was indefinitely closed. Customers who had first-hand experience with the dominating quality and functionality of all the Parkwest Arms products were ecstatic that the company had just changed names and was still producing the world’s most sought-after bolt-action rifles.

“I’m very pleased to announce another successful year, delivering some of the most innovative and highest quality firearms to our loyal clients around the nation and world,” said Ward Dobler, long-time employee and Chief Gunsmith at Parkwest Arms. “Since Mr. Rabackoff took over, he has completely empowered the team, bringing a new energy to the company. The growth we’ve seen over the past year is a testament to Parkwest’s employees, from its engineers, designers, production crew and front office staff and of course the customers who see the superiority of our products. Parkwest’s unbroken growth in innovation, product development and all other areas, including customers, partners, and community members, doesn’t show any signs of slowing down in the years to come.”

In addition to increasing its production, Parkwest is increasing its manpower by retaining both independent sales reps and a marketing agency, as well as strengthening its internal team. This will allow Parkwest to focus on creating and developing new products, and will bring attention to its brand to those who have not yet heard of the name change nor used Parkwest firearms and accessories. “It is our goal in the next few years to build our brand and nourish and build our relationships with both the retailers and customers who support us,” said, Steve Rabackoff, President of Parkwest Arms. “It’s a very exciting time for Parkwest Arms and all of us who are dedicated to its success are ready to make a significant impact in the industry. Stay tuned.”
