JJ,
Melvin's rifles make all of my Redding Micrometer seating dies obsolete! Not a bad thing cause working up a load wasn't near as tough. I am thinking a guy still needs a good seating die though as concentricity is key too.

I wonder why they don't do stainless actions...

John

$4k and she's yours...even ship it for free

Thanks Lefty guess I will have to wait 6 months LOL...

I like Melvin's leaf camo pattern, here it is on my M24 with a dark background...jim

I like the leaves too Jim.

I always thought that a NULA in 250-3000 would be cool to
own.

I could be wrong but i think Melvin only uses chrome moly because it is stronger then stainless on the actions.

Its a great rifle. I love the NULA's. I have also seriously considered a Remington 700 build after seeng some of the blueprints on this website.

Jericho,

If you imagined the NULA 250-3000 to be a great cartridge in a great rifle, you would be right. I've got one, and it is a sweetie.

Now go get one for yourself!!

Steve

My 3 babies.
Top 50calMZ
Middle M20 257BOB VX-II 3-9X40LR
Bottom M24 30-06 FX-3 6X42LR
Still have to decide on paint on the MZ. Will probably end up matching the other 2 with the CL-CAMO.

That photo of Jim's 06 is what sold me on what pattern I was gonna use on mine.

You need a .22LR next

That is def next in line! As soon as a decent deal pops up on one.

good luck on finding a decent deal on one of the rimfires after 3 years i gave up and ordered one from melvin

Here is my ULA .50 ML, this is the M90 plunger action that I ordered from Melvin in '93...jim

Cal you shoot smokeless powder out of yours, HunterJim?

Mike T.,

Tell me how much a brand spankin' new NULA .22 LR will set you back, and I just send you that much for your old M20 .257 Bob.

Deal?

LOL! A 22LR in addition to the other 3 is the plan... That 257bob will probably be the last rifle of mine that would ever get sold. About the perfect rifle for where I live and how and what I like to hunt...

I will sell you a SVM or SBGM for the same amount!

JJ,

No smokeless, it is a plunger action with a #11 cap nipple at the rear of the barrel. It seems to work well shooting, but cleaning is a pain. Melvin told me he made about 300 of these rifles before he got around to designing his M209 (which can shoot smokeless). He was hunting with the M90 when I bought my rifle from him.

My rifle has a Lilja .500" barrel with a 32" twist and shoots conicals well. I mostly use bullets made for the length limited to twice the diameter rules of a couple of three Western states.
