Well, Melvin isn't getting any younger and by catering to a 1/3 less price point he can appeal to many more buyers. NULA could be sold off to someone else or merged with the Titan Machine people. There will always be those who want a pute custom. In either case I assume Melvin has himself/family protected with some kind of royalty agreement. After years in the industry, I hope it all works out for his benefit.

Would like to see a 284 win offered.

After conclusion of business in Iowa City last tuesday, I visited Scheels and found a 24B 30-06 in their case.
While fit, finish, and construction looked to be remarkable for a production rifle, I was dismayed that the pistol grip radiused tightly enough that my trigger finger curled completely around the front of the trigger guard.
I could not get my trigger finger on the trigger at all with my hand anywhere on the grip...

I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.

You must have the largest hands of any human.......ever No... Not at all. I am a large unit, but my hands are about the size of most working guys... I never could palm B-ball. XL glove fits fine, mostly... I actually heard about the grip issue with the forbes on another thread, and went there looking to see for myself. I had the same issue with the ruger 77 Mk IIs...

That's one reason I like that stock so much. If it was just a little closer it'd be perfect (for me).

The tight/close grip is my only complaint with the NULA. I'm assuming the Forbes has the same closed grip.

This is a great example of how you can't please everyone. The "tight/closed" grip is the #1 reason in love that stock!
