Sweet rig...thanks for sharing

I went the same as fishermen, got a call Thursday that it was ready to pick up.

What were your wait times on these rifles? I’ve kicked around the idea of ordering but had in my head I’d be waiting a couple years - that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I ordered in February.

Looking toward to seeing that paint job on your 284!

My friend has one in 308, I almost bought it from him a few years ago and I wish I had. He decided to keep it. If I was getting one I’d only want one of the short action ones for 308 or 6.5 creedmoore. I’d also get that green stripe camo stock.

I’ll post it on here when I pick it up. Will probably be Jan 3rd

I'm kicking around the idea of selling a couple rifles I havent used in awhile to fund another NULA in 22-250 or 223 in woodland camo. My 284 has been my primary rifle this year although I did use my Fieldcraft '06 on a good white tail buck and Mule Deer doe this year.

If every business in this country was run like Melvins the world would be a better place, the man answers the phone usually on the first ring, every experience I’ve ever had with NULA has been an absolute pleasure, his rifles are the real deal, buy with confidence.

What mag length does Melvin use for these and what COAL are you using with the 284?

3 inches. Melvin recommended a 140 nosler balistic tip at 2.97 COAL
I haven't shot it yet but @Fishermen0105 may also chime in with what he's using in an identical rifle.

What's the farthest distance you have shot the rifle?

I am currently debating ordering a NULA for a 2023 sheep hunt.....I need to be able to shoot as far as 600 yards per some recent clients who went with this outfitter. I have a Cooper 300 win and a Christensen 7mm mag that can do that if I do my part, but the Cooper is 9# all up and the Christensen is over 8.25# all up.

I had a Forbes 24B in 30-06 that shot lights out, but I only shot it out to around 300 yards, so I never got to test it at distance before sending it down the road, but generally I am thinking most of these lightweight rifles are better for inside of 300 yards (where the majority of shots are taken anyways). I welcome anyone's thoughts on this...

Sure I can take some more later tonight when I get home from work. There's some shades of brown in there that got washed out in the fluorescent lighting so I'll see if I can pick that up a bit. He used a timney trigger on it.
