Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Wilson Combat NULAs

Really wish they would have followed Melvin’s design instead of trying to make a cheaper mass produced rifle like they did.

I know a lot of folks out there are really unhappy with what BWilson has done with NULA, but owners of original NULAs are probably happy with what's happened to values:

Here's a recent sale of an original in 338 Fed for just over $6k

i have a few of the old design and love them but not that much...some one really wanted one bad at that price

I like the Wilson NULA better. Im not a fan of Melvins blind magazine, i only wish the Wilson had a stainless receiver.....Hb

Two guys who really wanted THAT rifle. New Years Eve; sellers timing was exquisite. 🍻

Nice rifle, but nowhere close to $6K worth, especially for a relatively short range chambering, which kinda indicates hunting other than lots of long hiking & carrying.

I'm sure a $2k Kimber would have done what that will do as well....................with $4K left over for a hunt.

Did anyone else notice one of the standard barrel lengths for the 7/08 is 16”? I believe that changed since the introduction of the Wilson NULA.

Available Calibers and Barrel Lengths

.243 Winchester 20" and 22" (1-8 Twist)
6.5 Creedmoor 20" and 22" (1-8 Twist)
7mm08 Remington 16" and 20" (1-9 Twist)
.308 Winchester 16.25" and 20" (1-10 or 1-11.25 Twist)
.358 Winchester 16.25" and 20" (1-14 Twist)

More choices are always good. Given that the MSRP on my M70 EW MB is now, wait for it, $1839.99(!), about what I paid for my Fieldcraft five years ago, I think the Wilson NULA is priced fairly, and I like the new floorplate. The trend seems to be towards acquiring a bunch of cheap rifles, but the previous notion of spending a bit more for a few solid ones with good optics still seems like a good idea to me. There will always be those who pick nits over stock dimensions and such, but overall, if I experienced one of those tragic boating accidents and had to start fresh, I think one of these would do me.

They seem like they’re coming around some.

Agreed, buy good stuff and you’ll have it forever. Doesn’t have to be expensive necessarily but well made stuff seems to pay back in spades years down the road.

I’m in the “bought my 6.5 Creedmoor Fieldcraft from shortactionsmoker for $1,200” club.

Can’t believe the amount they’re fetching on gunbroker.

Custom guns prices have gone insane.

If I don’t have that Fieldcraft and a Kimber Mountain Ascent, I’d be ordering a WC NULA.

Mr. Wilson said on another forum that Wilson Combat would offer left handed NULA's at a future date. He didn't elaborate on when.

Hopefully prior to the reintroduction of the left handed fieldcraft.

If you will send me your email address,I will send you some targets. My Wilson NULA is a 308 win with a 20 in. barrel. These targets are conditional on me being able to find mine.

Apologies for reviving such an old thread.
Not trying to re-open the debate about what twist should be offered, COAL, etc.

Mr. Wilson, I am considering ordering a NULA in .308 with the 20" barrel. Are there any specific ammo recommendations (or cautions) based on your testing with the default 1:11.25 twist?

Thank you.

RPM,COAL and Throat Geometry...are that which control ammo viability. Hint.

Just sayin'.............

Big Stick, based on all the conversation in this thread and your knowledge of the above, is there a particular commercial ammunition you think would perform well in the NULA?

Big Stick, No advice here? Seems like you wanted to give lots of hints. Any data or real world experience that would point toward specific cartridges that would perform well in the NULA?

i think the only person that can answer that will be the gun its self...i would feel any premium ammunition would perform pretty well in any well built rifle
