Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Question for NULA Owners...

Dang. Silver or gold on the replacement? Sorry you're having to deal with it.

Man bigwhoop, I wish you would take those two pictures of #####s down!!!

Of the four ULA/NULA guns I have (243, 7mm-08, 300WSM and 50cal ML) the only one that whacks my middle finger knuckle is the 300WSM and that's only from the bench.

sir;

ive had 2 nula a 6mm remington and a 7mm-08. wish i kept the 6mm.

both had #2 22" barrels on them balanced very well.

i discovered i don't shoot fly weight rifles very well and sold them.

don't overlook the 6.5 creedmoor for your chambering

i have a hand full of melvins also


1. 22lr 18" #1 stainless
2. 250 savage 20" #1 stainless
3. 6.5x284 24" #2 stainless
4. 338 federal 22" #2 stainless


with a 6.8spc and a 450 marlin on the way

also have a clr 280rem 22" #2 stainless

all shoot great with factory or handloads

great guns very accurate

What a joke..... Please do tell what is inherently superior about a short action?

He's probably not kidding. Stick is so short that he has problems running a long action too. Must paddle in the same boat with the poor short bastid... You know those munchkins have to stick together.....

bsa: You read the stupidest things on here.... you have to laugh.

Yes Bob, some of this chit is too funny!!!! I guess some of these guys hang out at their local Cabela's and Sportsman's warehouse to get their information and knowledge. I've heard some good ones there too...

Lighter weight, shorter bolt throw, handier rifle, more scope mounting latitude.

It's about like most arguments here on the fire- purely academic with little practical value.

And then there's the guys that are not quit what they would like you to believe.

Add to your list; less powder, less recoil, and with ballistic difference so minute they're only seen on paper.

For me, I'd never consider a long action for a dedicated deer rig.

BSA and Bob, no need to get personal with it.

Bullets have more to do with killing deer than action length.

And if action length is that big of deal for some,well......

Most of what we talk about on here makes no practical difference and is no big deal, but we all make personal gear choices for what we each do and how we hunt.

For a NULA or a rifle I'm packing, I'm firmly in the SA camp for reasons listed by Jordan, and CTSmith...

Guess my NULA .257 Weatherby is disqualified as a deer rifle, even though the Model 28 action weighs almost half a pound less than a Remington 700 short action.

Yeah John it was not particularly "well thought out" either.....

Looks like all rifle design wisdom now emanates from Tennessee....hilarious.

Happy Fourth!

I've been using short and long actions longer than some on here have been alive, and right now have short action rifles heavier than the long action rifles and vice versa. Depends on the cartridge and how you build the rifle.

After a few decades of use I would rate the current rancor over short actions as a lot of noise with little advantage and the cartridges that fit as "ho hum".

I like stuff with some legs and my back has never been broken by a sub 7 pound rifle nor one going 8.5#'s where called for.

I notice first thing these short action guys do is look for a longer box....so they can seat bullets longer in the shorty magazines....what's that all about?

The short action thing is a lot of silliness......

Man, you guys sure get worked up over a couple inches in action length... If we start talking about backpack size, is somebody going to put a hit out on me...?

The M24 weighs 1/2 lb. more than the M20....

John, I could make a good case for 257 Weatherby on a MPBR rig. There's a significant range advantage. As for the 30-06 based cartridges, I will always opt for their little brother.

For backpack hunting- sheep, elk, etc, I'll take all the light/handy-dandy I can get. For truck/horseback/ATV, etc, or day hunts, I don't much care whether my 7Mag is a RM or a WSM...
