Yeah I had checked into one just before Melvin sold out and as I remember he wanted North of $4,000, so we are not really comparing Apples to Apples here money wise as I am seeing the Wilson NULA's on GB listed for well under $3,000.....Hb

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”?

Apparently I am not the only one.

Yeah, that's a better analogy. My point being that it seems a bit strange to compare the production numbers of a full custom to an off the shelf model from a dealer.

Not the only one that what? I don’t think I ever mentioned worrying about whether 7prc factory ammo hits advertised velocities.

I’m honestly asking your opinion about how much effect you see in the real world from the 100 - 200fps velocity loss that a shorter barrel results in.

It seems to me Mr Wilson took the same design and streamlined the production process with his knowledge in firearm machining and also modern machinery to make the process more modern and streamlined. This is why you see stocking dealers for NULAs today . I don’t believe any dealers stocked Melvin’s. It’s pretty convenient if a dealer has one sitting on the shelf vs waiting months for one. Also, Mr Wilson has said he will TWIST one to your specs ,but don’t expect anything less than retail price. Overall, Mr Wilson taking over NULA hunting rifles is a GOOD thing.

Personally, I’d prefer a ADL magazine setup over a BDL bottom metal setup , but that’s minor considering the weights of Wilson Combat NULAs in stock form. Thank you, Bill, for taking over this endeavor. I may be a buyer next year on a 18” 6.5 CM. That’s my maximum barrel length for threaded guns . Maybe you’ll cut one short for me.

Looks like the street price is coming down.

I’ll agree laugh

I bought my ULA/NULA’s in 97, 03, 05, and 12. The most expensive one was $2800 and they’re all left handed.

Perhaps if we behave Santa BW will give us a rifle with a blind magazine and proper twist for under $4k for Christmas.

I’m thinkin it may be time to sell some Fieldcrafts. I’d definitely sell my 243 for that, although it’s not new.

Still debating what scope, but leaning towards a SWFA fixed 6x MQ, or an Athlon Helos G2 2-12.

Very light and stiff stocks are doable.
