Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Wilson Combat NULAs

There was once a time where velocity mattered.

And then people realized it didn’t….

Not for me, I hate the look of a can, its an abomination on a sleek rifle like a NULA..for me a 20" barrel on a 308 Win is perfection 👍...Hb

In Louisiana, sure...

Enlighten me on what an extra 100fps gets you in Texas or Idaho….

Maybe Colorado, BC, Alberta, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Cool. You have exponentially more hunting experience than I do in a lot of cool places. And I’m genuinely curious why you’ve made the velocity comment in multiple threads. So what can you do with a 22 - 24” barrel 308 that you can’t do with a 20”?

I have three 308s, two tikka sporters with one at 19” and one at 20” and the other a Tikka CTR at 20”

I think 20” is about perfect for a 308, but I wouldn’t turn down a 16”.

They sell thorough our full distribution chain of dealers and distributors as well as customer direct.

Thank you. So isn't it a bit disingenuous to compare your system to Melvin, who was making NULAs strictly for custom order? It's a bit like comparing the production of Lamborghini to Ford. That being said, I'm glad to see the street price seems to be more modest than originally advertised.

30 years ago called. They want their mindset, lack of laser rangefinders, and functional Leupold scopes back.

Ha Ha Ha I will take a Ford over a Lamborghini every day and suspect that 90% of America would say the same.

Just sayin’.

Absolutely 💯

Well, kidding about Marley’s ex aside, I usually would too - but I don’t expect a Ford to be priced at 80% of a Lamborghini either.

Perhaps a better analogy here would be Bentley to Mercedes.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Guessing the CEO of Ford is not answering questions and listening to feedback on an online enthusiast's forum. This place is not a focus group engineered to play to the masses. This guy cares about what the rifleman's rifleman has to say (that's a compliment Mr. Goat, though I'm disagreeing with you). I see your point about the Melvin/custom experience. That's gone. You lucky son's of guns who had Melvin build you a gun consider yourselves envied. But, this new thing has all the makings of something really special.

I don’t feel shortchanged that Ronnie himself didn’t build my Fieldcraft, or the Bill didn’t build my Wilson Combat guns. I’ve been around enough “full custom” hunting rifles to know it’s a distinction without a difference.

Was it Muledeer or Jeff Cooper (or Clint Smith) who opined on how we treat one MOA rifles these days as throw always, when one MOA will suffice in any reasonable hunting application.

These are the salad days for hunters and shooters.

Am i wrong or didn't Melvins NULA rifle cost like 4 grand?...These new Wilson's can be had for less than 3K.....Hb

At the end Melvin was getting $4200 I believe, that had been raised from $3600 just months earlier if I remember correctly. And I think they had been less than that without going back too far.
