    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    I think much like you do. So much game has been killed by cartridges that are not cannons. And I do own a couple of heavy hitters, but I know they're not essential. I like the versatility that the 6.5x284 Norma offers. It will put an elk on the skids yet it will not beat you up in the...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    That's how I'm feeling right now. Waited too long I suppose.

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    Thank you for your response! You make some very good points. Given what you and a few of the other guys have told me, I think that I'm going to go with the Rifles Inc. route for a custom lightweight rifle. I sent Lex Webernick an email asking a few questions and I look forward to hearing from...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    Thank you for your response! I appreciate the insight, it is definitely helpful to hear from guys who have owned the rifles. Everything I'm hearing matches up with what the gun rag editors have always written about as well[not that they're always on the money]. That's what bummed me out the...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    Thank you for your response. I will definitely keep your company in mind! I was wondering if the component shortage is getting worse, and it sounds like it is. I'm just grateful that I ordered the barrel I ordered for my custom scout rifle project when I did last year! I ordered a #3 taper...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    I've heard that about NULA rifles. Is NULA the only rifle company that full length beds? I remember David Petzal saying that once a NULA rifle is sighted in that it doesn't shift point of impact, ever. I have thought of going the custom route via purchasing my own components and enlisting...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    I would have to say that my main hangup is that NULA was sold once before as the original Ultra Light Arms to Colt, and from I understand the quality suffered and Melvin Forbes bought the company back, renaming it NULA. The Forbes Rifles story I'm less familiar with, but I also understand that...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    I'm pretty serious on getting a custom lightweight rifle. I was just set on NULA, but now that they're being bought by Wilson, I'd just rather go to Rifles Inc. unless someone gives me a good reason to avoid that company. I've only ever heard good about Lex Webernick and his work. I don't...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    Thank you for your response! Ya I thought about that title after I made the post, but I figured that maybe a lot of other looneys hadn't yet heard that NULA was sold. I've definitely put some stock into building a rifle with the help of a local 'Smith using top quality components. But I'd...

    New Ultra Light Arms sold to Wilson Combat

    Good evening y'all! First post, so here it goes: I just read today an article on Field & Stream about Melvin Forbes selling his legendary company, New Ultra Light Arms, to Wilson Combat. My heart sank as soon as I saw the title. I've been trying to save up for the past few years for a NULA...
