FYI - Just went to the old NULA website and it redirected me here: https://wilsoncombat.com/long-guns/nula-bolt-action-rifles.html Looks like bottom metal, threaded barrels and $3,295. I still want one (the 16.5 inch .358 looks interesting if you're into little cannons like me. Though it's probably intended for a suppressor.) but, a little different aesthetic from the Melvin thing. I hope they sell a pile of them.

I’m not going to judge them yet, was probably too much to hope for that they wouldn’t change anything, but it’s a little disappointing to me. I was on the waiting list with wilson for a model 20 284. Just going on looks and adding bottom metal I’ll probably fix a up a couple more CLR’s and maybe pay up for a used NULA instead.

Makes a man really appreciate everything Mr. Forbes did for his customers.

Odd choices of twist for certain. I prefer a hinged floorplate, so that’s a plus along with the SS barrel, and the paint job looks good.

We shall see, but I ain’t trading in my FC on one.

I've got an old ULA Forbes rifle I've yet to shoot or even try.

Same here with my Kimbers.

I imagine the recoil on the 358s are going to be fierce

I’m really surprised by some of the twist rates shown! Otherwise sounds like a nice rifle.

Hopefully they refine their twist rates.

I have to agree with Stick, I think Ronnie got it right. Wish he was still making them I sure like the one I have in 6.5 CM.

And I sure wish I had invested in one of the heavily discounted 6.5s Whittakers had. Missed the boat for sure there.

At least I haven’t been tempted to sell mine by the fat prices they bring now…..
