Lapua Announces Service Center

GW:  This is exciting news!  Lapua’s facility makes it possible to test various .22 rimfire ammo in particular firearms.  And, then being able to purchase lot numbers in sufficient quantities that works best is how accuracy happens.   And, Lapua is no ordinary ammunition.  I have found it to be the most accurate in my rimfires and use it exclusively for hunting and showing off.

Lapua is pleased to announce the opening of our new Rimfire Service Center in Mesa, Arizona! Patterned after the world renowned Lapua Service Center in Schönebeck, Germany, this facility gives American shooters the same opportunity to test not only various types, but also different lots of rimfire ammunition, in their firearms, under tightly controlled conditions. This assures that the customer will be able to purchase not only the best type of ammunition for his or her particular rifle, but the specific lots of that ammo that performs best in their guns.

Ted Pleads Guilty

“I would never knowingly break any game laws,” said Ted Nugent. “I’m  afraid I was blindsided by this, and I sincerely apologize to everyone for  this.”

Said Magistrate Judge Michael Thompson “It (the “one-strike policy)  probably is not widely known, and if there is a side benefit to the  agreement reached here today – since apparently newspapers are interested in Mr.  Nugent and his doings – this probably will serve to alert a great many hunters  to that very issue and may, in fact, prevent violations in the future and court  activity for a whole slew of folks.”
