Very nice rifles guys!
Battue and Don, I bet those 7-08's are a real treat to shoot!! They certainly are, but so is the 7x57. Don

My NULA brace. ![[Linked Image]](http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss161/miket_81/NULA/nula002.jpg) Top M24 30-06 23"bbl with FX-3 6X42LR 2nd M20 257BOB 23"bbl with VX-II 3-9X40LR 3rd M20 MZ with a Monarch 6X42 4th M20 RF 22LR with Elite 4200 3-9X40 Very happy with the collection don't think I would change a thing except maybe a couple scopes and different paint on the 22 and MZ down the road... If I ever added anything it would be a 223 OR 22-250. Although that bob with lighter bullets like the 75V-max and the 85BT(my choice) makes a nice coyote, bobcat, and such rifle.. I could also see a 257ROY being fun!

Just thinking about downsizing and maybe taking the money and ordering a NULA. Lets see the photos, details and how you like them. I could not imagine paying that much for a rifle but looking around at some of the others out there it still seemss to be a good deal overall.
Thanks The Kimbers have been fabulous for us. We have been fortunate that they have shot so well. From what I see of the NULA rifle it's more expensive however said to be turn key. The nula's lack of CRF, M70 type safety, cost, and lead time indicate a rifle for others. My latest Kimber is a 8400 Montana in 7mm WSM. It may be the most accurate big game rifle new out of the box that I have had. The thing is that I have other rifles that I prefer as they have attractive walnut stocks. Those Kimbers have the best operating safety of them all. Easier and smoother than even an old M70. First target with the then new Kimber 7mm WSM at 100 yds. ![[Linked Image]](http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/8705/bipod.jpg)
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

I absolutely LOVE the feel of the stock. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned more. It feels like sharkskin and is super grippy. If I were fighting a hurricane or plowing through waist deep snow this is the gun I'd bring. Eric
