So I have long listed over a NULA rifle in a model 20. Does anyone know the receiver specs? As in the diameter of the action etc. Does anyone make something close. I know I will never be able to afford one now. May be able to build something similar.

Forbes 20b or fieldcraft both less costly alternatives; I’d personally try to find a fieldcraft. Last 6.5 that sold on gunbroker went for 2k (headed to Texas😜).

Forbes 20b rifles are copies of them and typically fly under the radar and can be often found for good deals.

As far as mag box OAL, I only have experience with a Colt Light Rifle which was built to NULA 28 specs at 3.34"

Short action. 260, 7-08, 308 If you built on the Creed family of cases a Kimber 84M is a small diameter action similar to the ULA/NULA, Forbes/Fieldcraft. The reason I say Creed case is because the 84 only has a 2.8” mag-box. All of the ULA variants have a 3” box more suited to long bullets in the 308 family of cases.

so they are just a tad smaller in diameter than a Remington 700 action. I have a kimber 84m classic in .308win. just not wild about it with the safety on top of the bolt shroud/winchester safety. Thank you for all of the replies.
