Wondering why none of these rifles are available?

Demand > supply
With possible exception of the Montana, the supply is not increasing and won't be going up soon. People are often reluctant to sell a rifle that would be difficult to replace down the road.

The only reason I haven’t sold my Fieldcraft or Montana. I’ve never owned a ULA or NULA. I really like the other two but the prices these things go for are crazy…I thought hard. Glad I decided to keep

I sent a Forbes 20B to Melvin a few years back and got it "Melvinized". I remember reading about them in probably the mid 80's and always wanted one and in 284 Win of course. While mine ain't a Nula it is close enough. It sure shoots like a Nula.

Someone almost talked ne out of my 7-08 18" fieldcraft last year. Their $3500 offer had me seriously looking at anti defiance actions, bruxism barrels etc. But the fieldcraft shoots extremely well and has a 3" magbox. It would be a roll of the dice replacing it.

Bb Much as I like it, $3500 would get mine. I liked the Alpine I donated to the grandkids nearly as well, and my tricked-out Mini is right in there too. OTOH, the current market price on them doesn’t even make me twitch. I expect one of my sons will get it in time.
What fresh Hell is this?

Bb I believe a Salvage Model 10 has a 3 inch mag box.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

When I bought my Fieldcraft, I had to wait 10 days before I could pick it up. On the day I picked it up, a guy came up to me and said, I'll give you $500.00 more than you paid for the rifle. I just smiled and said, it's not for sale.
It shoots really well.
6.5 CM. I really got it for my wife. I couldn't sell her rifle.

I'm glad I liked my Montana better when I held a FC. Saved me a bunch of money.
