Vigilance Rifles, Inc. is a manufacturer and producer of customizable rifles systems for civilians, law enforcement and militaries abroad. They specialize in semi-auto as well as single shot bolt action large caliber rifles such as 50 BMG, .408 Cheytac, and .308 Winchester.

Rifles manufactured by Vigilance Rifles, Inc. are CNC machined in house, individually. Making them very customizable for their buyers. These CNC machines provide a unique wire EDM method to cut any conductive materials such as steel and aluminum with a thin brass or Molybdenum traveling wire electrode that follows a CNC (Computer Numerical Code) programmed path. By machining from pre-hardened material, the heat-treat process is eliminated after the component is complete; this makes for a more accurate and more heat tolerant system.

Vigilance Rifle, Inc. was founded in 1990 by Keary Ritchie, son of William Ritchie of EDM Arms, well known in the firearms manufacturing industry within the United States.

They have one facility in Chino Valley, AZ since 2011. Previous location of operations include Redlands, CA from 1990-2008, and Banning, CA from 2009-2011.
