New Ultralight Arms (NULA) Line of Bolt-Action Rifles from Wilson Combat
Adam Scepaniak 09.11.23
Wilson Combat has recently made a departure from their traditional line-up of crafting high-end handguns and AR platform rifles to work on bolt-action rifles via a collaboration between the iconic Melvin Forbes and Bill Wilson. This unique project has culminated in NULA – New Ultralight Arms – and the Model 20 bolt-action rifle series from Wilson Combat. Meant to exude surgical accuracy and a feathery weight, these rifles have already received high praise from several firearm industry publications.

The hunting industry as a whole seems to be leaning into the idea that “you don’t need a bull barrel and a heavy rifle to accomplish accuracy,” and I am so glad to see it. With lighter weight options becoming more readily available everyday and accuracy oddly improving, these NULA, New Ultralight Arms, Model 20s look to be exactly that with all of the refinements you would want in a quality hunting rifle.
