On the bench Nulas will normally win the race. Off the bench it becomes much closer.
Like the Kimber trigger and safety much more than the Nula. You can look down into the safety cut of the Nula and see a little spring and there are more of them in there. Fine in nice weather not so much in bad. IMO a weak point re Nula design. However, nothing a now and then squirt of lighter fluid wouldn't take care of for the most part. But when it goes bad it is a comparatively bigger problem.
I much prefer the Nula stock for fit than the Kimber. Some don't like the more curved grip of the Nula but I prefer it and for some reason the Nula stock seems to jump less off the bench and recoils less. The more curved grip allows the palm to absorb more of the recoil?
Took a Nula out of the safe last night and it is sweet. Grabbed a Kimber for comparison and there is not much to gripe about. Both are really nice.
Extended hard country/weather I'd take the Kimber. Here in Pa it is nice to have both.
The ULA/NULA/Forbes safety/trigger bothers me. The gaping hole allowing access for crud to get down inside, and the safety itself moves such a short distance from safe to fire that I find myself constantly checking it to make sure it's "on safe".
I much prefer the Kimber in those aspects.
I prefer the Kimber grip. I find the ULA to be a bit too closed for my liking, though the stock design sure does a wonderful job of soaking up recoil.
Both great rifles. The ULA seems to be a really consistent shooter, but I've never had major troubles with the four Kimber 84Ms I've owned. I like them both!
