About us

Tradition and innovation can often be at odds. At Parkwest Arms, they work together seamlessly to build  the foundation of America’s finest custom rifle maker. Which is known throughout the world of firearms for producing beautiful and extremely reliable handcrafted rifles of the finest quality. Parkwest is inspired by some of the most iconic Dakota locales – Badlands, Wind Cave, Mount Rushmore, Jewel Cave National Parks, which surround it. Parkwest Arms painstakingly uses the finest wood and materials to create the best rifles available. Featuring rich bluing, unique case-hardening, and expert gunsmithing, America’s finest custom rifles are now available at Parkwest Arms.

Parkwest, formerly known as Dakota Arms ,was acquired by Steve Rabackoff and Tim Land in 2021. Since then, the craftsmen and women, building on that tradition have continued handcrafting custom rifles to meet the demands of hunters, shooters and collectors worldwide.
