Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who took over the NULA shop?

1eyedmule - great rifle. And major style points for originality in the color combo of the paint.

Wonder why they used two different font sizes and wildly different spacing on the barrel stamp.

Picked mine up today. I’m from WV so I stuck it out the truck window and shot a stop sign on the way home. Range report is good lol.

Thanks guys!

Still 2 down. You can squeeze in three but the spring is bottomed out and the bolt won't ride over the third round.

The color scheme is bold! I actually sent Glenn pictures of beech trees in November up here so he could match the grey bark and rusty orange leaves. If they made it a standard color choice, I'm not sure if they'd call it "Beech Ridge" or "Andy's Folly"! But, it's just what I wanted.

I'd guess the barrel was stamped "7mm" from Douglas and then after Outkast chambered it they used letter stamps to add the "PRC".

I'll post some groups when I get that far.

I was only ever able to fit 2 down with my nosler chamberings. Hope it shoots well for you!

If that were the case, would happen if the rifle had been chambered in 284 Win?

Not picking on Outkast per se, as the cheap looking barrel stamp situation is a shortcoming with a whole bunch of custom rifle builders.

Neat rifle overall!

What did you end up thinking of the small pic mounts they made? I’m trying to decide if I should stick with Talley or get some low weaver or pic bases made while mines in for work.

LW's all the way to the crash. Hint.





Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

I can also do it this way with my cnc, But I figured the NULA crowd would stone me for not doing it Melvin's way, with Melvin's tools.
If anybody in the future would like this type of engraving, feel free to ask.

Doubtful. Manufacturers usually stamp the end of the blank.

They are quality pieces and if I mount a big scope they will be sweet. They are high though and I'm kind of focused on a light weight, low mounted 2-7 right now. They are kind of an interrupted rail and what I really like about that is that being high and two-piece you can fit your thumb under the scope behind the front mount around the balance point of the rifle if you need to one hand it in the steep stuff and use the other hand for climbing which is way better than cupping the rifle with low mounts or a rail negating the millions of years of evolution that gave us thumbs!

Remington92,

Another thing I've discovered is that the weaver bases that were available at one time are simply Weaver #46 fronts and Weaver # 72 rears. The weaver chart says the 46s fit Win 70s, large ring Mausers and small ring Mausers. The small ring Mauser is noted at 1.3 inches diameter (I actually have a small ring with a #46 on the front). The NULA 28 is 1.285 so that makes sense but they are machined for a slightly bigger diameter. I'm going to bed one with JB Weld and release agent on the action. Since the #46 fits Win 70s there are plenty around. But, the rear #72 only fits older Sakos apparently and is harder to find. I've got a few to play with.

Actually, I'm going to try the extended front base because one of the scopes I want to try is pretty short.

Just fun stuff to play with!

Peace,

Andy

I like the hand-made feel of the number stamps myself.

A pleasure doing buisness with you, sir!

Sweet Swift, longshot3631!

Oh darn those are high, I just sent an nxs 2.5-10x42 in with mine to make sure everything fits. I’m looking for as low and light as well. Did they cut down a Talley rail to make yours or machined another way? I’ll have to ask if they can make some weavers if I go that route. Only other option is steel Talley but they’re heavy and don’t allow adjustment fore and aft to accommodate the short tube on the NXS.

Maybe you're right, Mr. Stick. The scopes in the running right now are light, though. The Leupold (yes, I know...) is 9.8oz and I've got a 12oz Burris FF2 2-7 and the Sig 2-7 illuminated is 15.2 oz. Guessing you broke those with big scopes. I do expect this thing to be a handful recoil-wise, however. If I break any Talleys, I'll post pics with an "I should have listened to Stick!"

The pleasure was mine Sir. I hope you enjoy your rifle.

If OutKastActual would be willing to do it, a very low 2 piece pic like the Burris would be excellent. I'd be down for a couple of pairs and would be willing to mail in a Rem set for reference on how low they are.

Sure, send them in I'll have a look at them.
