Who has one or shot one? Looking at one in a standard caliber.

What scope bases and mounts fit these? Anybody Know LOP? Thanks.

I'm curious about the Nosler 48 also

One of the best rifles made. Mine is chambered in 6.5x284. Takes standard Remington bases and rings. Feeds like glass, shoots sub 1/2" with 140gr Accubonds over H4831SC.

Does the safety lock the bolt?

This was my experience with a Nolser Outfitter in 35 Whelen. It's feeding was extremely smooth, good trigger, and excellent accuracy. I would not hesitate to buy another Nolser Rifle.

Curious about this myself.

The stocks just look a little goofy to me with the rear of the stock at an upward angle.

No!


I've had the Custom Sporters in 325 WSM and 270 WSM. Recently picked up a Patriot in 7mm-08.

All shooters. I got the Patriot used from JG Raider who posts here. Don't know if he or he had the trigger adjusted but it is sweet.

The 325 WSM was my go to hog thumper for several years.






JAPPFT,

In other words, just another dressed up, glorified, 700 action. Hope the safety, extractor and bolt handle are different. Still, can't understand any rifle that one cannot lock the bolt..Pass

Geedub my friend.......yes, trigger slightly adjusted and I agree.....that is a sweeeet rig all the way around, and as you say, a real shooter. Glad to see you're putting it to good use whacking the vermin down there.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the responses.

Believe they are glorified HOWA actions with a few changes. The stock design is horrendous for me.

A normal cheek weld resulted in very little of the bottom of the stock contacting my shoulder. If I pulled it down to where it should be, i had to lay my head over to see through the scope.

I have this problem with other brands as well, so it's not just Nosler.

The scope was mounted in high rings as well.

May fit some fine, just odd design.

On Nosler's website, their custom rifles are available with a 3 position safety (rocker type with bolt lock) for $50 extra.

I fondled a M48 (Patriot or Liberty?) in 26 Nosler at the store the other day, but it was heavy. The website lists them at reasonable weights though? I am also interested in a standard caliber version.

If you think for one second they are, "Glorified Howas" please think again. Nosler Patriots are ten times the rifle a Howa is, in both asthetics and quality. Noslers customer service is also top-notch, which to me is worth every penny. The Nosler Patriots have a match grade barrel, and great trigger. They feed reliably and I am happy to say I own one of their rifles. I own many many top notch rifles, I tend to reach for my Nosler Rifle in 6.5x284 more than the others....just saying.

I agree. They are a very nice rifle.

The stock doesn't seem to fit everybody well, but I had no issues with it on the Outfitter 338WM that I had.

Barrels are PacNor, and fit and finish are top notch.

I would buy another, without a doubt.

Even if they are a glorified Howa, that ain't a bad thing.

I agree, awesome rifle, very accurate, nice looking, and well put together. I have a TGR (Trophy Grade Rifle) in 7-08 that I bought from a guy unfired. Had it for a few years now, hunted it a few times, and took a few deer and hogs with it. Super easy to find accurate loads. Shot Nosler factory 140 AB well less than one inch, also shot factory Fusions and hand loaded Barnes TTSX 120s equally well with the accuracy edge going to the TTSXs but the stock just doesn't fit me well. Recently bought a Kimber MT in the same cal and was thinking of selling mine. Just haven't had a chance to get some pics up with a price. If it fit me better it would never leave, but at lest for me, the Montanas fit me way better. Strongly recommended.

Thanks,

THIS. And the Howas's safety locks the action in both of mine. I am sure they are very well-made rifles, but the non-locking bolt is a no-starter for me.

As I understand it just about everything on a Nosler rifle is outsourced. If that is the case and you want a rifle with the components that you choose, to fit your needs.... Why not apply those funds to your own build?
