Dood, I just sent an order in for a Nula about 4 weeks back-wonder what this is going to do to my order? All current orders have been turned over to WC to fill with the exception of 11 or so guns that Melvin already had in process at the time of the sale. Mr. Wilson how much are you geusstimating a base line mod 20 in .308 will cost once you get up and running efficently production wise. Prices on them I have surfed on the web are outrageous right now honestly. Come on. Even if he knows at this point do you really expect a price release on a product that isn’t even made yet?

Will the pricing be similar, higher or lower...or is it too early to say at this stage? For now we've left retail the same. We will sell through dist/dealer/retail so street price will probably be less. That said, we hope to be able to lower the retail once we know our costs. We will be mfg the actions and barrels in much larger qty than Melvin has in the past on high efficiency CNC/EDM machines so this should lower costs.

Mr Wilson, its fabulous to see you taking time to post on this forum and keep your finger on the pulse. Its great to know a good thing Mr. Forbes created has potential to be even greater. This is especially refreshing given the shelving of the Fieldcraft. I'll be a customer I'm sure. The best of luck to you.

I currently have 2 but could use another one or three.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Mr. Wilson,
I know that you and your team will do it right but please keep the option for a custom LOP.

agree with that fieldcraft and forbes had a 14 lop and the new nula is 13....isnt 13.5 standard for a lot of gun manufacturers

13.5 is pretty standard but I think 13 is better than 14. I would think with a deposit put down ordering the lop you want would be fairly easy to arrange. A deposit and patience should get the stock and barrel length you wish. I wouldn’t expect a bunch of different chamberings contours and such.

i dont think so....looks like they come with barrel lengths but that is it if you look at the web site.....more of a production than custom specially if they go thru dealers...but it is early in this journey

I hear a bunch of guys who, for the most part, didn't order a NULA when Melvin was in charge bitching about custom options when, for the most part, they won't order a NULA when Wilson is in charge.

I haven’t read anything that would be considered bitching.
Other than the dust up on who knew what first nothing but nice things and questions have been posted.

Hopefully you'll be able to get whatever your willing to pay for from Wilson Combat. That is unless Wilson Combat decides to sell the NULA at Barrett Fieldcraft prices, then you get what you get.
Life is good live it while you can.

i will add something for Mr Wilson to consider i have a few nula rifles and with the current trend of larger turrets on scopes the ejection angle seems to always throw the brass up into the scope...it seemed the fieldcraft rifles handled this better with a different ejector location and may be something to consider....thanks

If that means mine it’s a foolish comment. No one has bitched about anything. If you consider any of the conversations in this thread as bitching I’m sure you have hurt feelings pretty often.
