Lapua is proud to announce their sponsorship of the 2025 United States Precision Rifle Rimfire Team competing at the 2025 International Precision Rifle Federation (IPRF) Rimfire World Championships.

Team members include Ben Allread, Paul Dallin, Chris Garcia, Erich Leipold, Gregg Stewart, Matt Stiner, McKenzie Burns, Kala Doman, Camdyn Powers, Lily Knapp, Ethan Rearick, Reagan Stahmer, Dakota Wright, John Boyken, Brian Kendall, David Ostrowske, Timothy Nowak, Michael Look, Jason Nedved, Tyler Orth, Ronald Verran, and Team Lapua’s Ruth Soucie. Alternates are Justin Carbone, Jackson Hett, and Mark Kelly.

“Lapua is excited to partner with the U.S. Precision Rifle Team,” commented Adam Braverman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Lapua USA. “Being able to test and lot-match rimfire ammunition to the team’s rifles in our Lapua Rimfire Performance Centers has provided them with the highest-quality, most consistent rimfire ammo available. We hope this gives them the confidence they need to bring home the Championship.”

The 2nd Rimfire World Championships will be held August 14–17, 2025, at the West Midlands Shooting Centre in Shropshire, England. Competitors can expect dramatic elevation changes, challenging wind calls, and targets out to 250 meters across 20 scored stages.

Lapua wishes Team USA the best of luck in their pursuit of gold!
