NULA Bolt Action Rifles

The Wilson Combat NULA rifle represents a revolutionary approach to lightweight rifle design that goes far beyond simply reducing weight. These ultralight rifles achieve an exceptional balance of precision, durability, and portability that has earned recognition from Field & Stream as "Best New Rifle of 2023" and Guns & Ammo's "Rifle of the Year" for 2024.

Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee

Every NULA rifle ships with Wilson Combat's bold sub-1" MOA accuracy guarantee. This level of precision in an ultralight platform was previously thought impossible, but the combination of premium components and meticulous manufacturing makes it standard. The full-length carbon fiber stock bedding system enhances barrel stiffness rather than allowing flex, creating consistency that rivals much heavier bench rest rifles

Revolutionary Weight Distribution

At 4-5 pounds without optics, NULA rifles achieve their remarkable weight through intelligent engineering rather than compromise. The EDM-cut receiver measures just 1.22" in diameter while the bolt is only 0.585" wide - barely larger than a .308 cartridge case. This minimalist approach removes every unnecessary ounce while maintaining structural integrity that exceeds safety requirements.

Premium Component Integration

Each NULA rifle features carefully selected components that enhance performance without adding weight. The Timney Elite Hunter trigger provides crisp 2.75-3.25 pound breaks, while the AG Composites carbon fiber stock includes reinforced receiver walls and negative comb drop for superior recoil management. Wilson Combat's 416R stainless barrels are button-rifled, honed, and double stress-relieved for consistent accuracy across temperature variations.

Wilson Combat offers two distinct NULA platform configurations, each optimized for specific cartridge families and hunting applications while maintaining the core ultralight design philosophy.

Standard Action NULA Model 20 Rifles

• The NULA Model 20 accommodates traditional hunting cartridges including .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, .308 Winchester, and .358 Winchester. These lightweight rifles feature barrel options from 16.25" to 22" depending on caliber selection, making them ideal for versatile hunting applications from whitetail stands to mountain sheep hunts. Each rifle ships with threaded muzzles and protective thread caps for suppressor compatibility.

Mini Action NULA Model 20S Rifles

• The NULA Model 20S features an intermediate "mini action" designed for shorter cartridges including .223 Wylde, 300 HAM'R, 300 Blackout, and 350 Legend. This configuration maintains the same ultralight design philosophy while offering a more compact platform weighing from 4 pounds 12 ounces to 5 pounds. The Model 20S excels in tactical applications, predator hunting, and situations requiring rapid follow-up shots with lighter recoiling cartridges. All Model 20S rifles feature a shortened 13.5" length of pull for improved handling.

Selecting the optimal Wilson Combat NULA rifle depends on your intended applications, shooting requirements, and performance expectations. Consider these key factors when choosing your lightweight hunting rifle.

Hunting Applications and Cartridge Selection

• Big Game Hunting: .308 Winchester and 7mm-08 Remington offer proven terminal performance and wide ammunition availability. The .358 Winchester provides exceptional stopping power for larger game at close to moderate ranges.

• Varmint and Predator Hunting: Model 20S in .223 Wylde delivers rapid follow-up shots with reduced recoil for quick target acquisition.

• Long-Range Applications: 6.5 Creedmoor provides excellent ballistic performance with manageable recoil in the ultralight platform.

Barrel Length and Optics Compatibility

Barrel Selection: Barrel length selection impacts both handling and ballistic performance, with options tailored to specific hunting scenarios.

• 16.25" barrels: Excel in dense cover hunting and suppressed applications where maneuverability is priority

• 20-22" barrels: Maximize velocity and energy for long-range shooting applications

Optics Mounting: Action drilled and tapped at 8x40 for proprietary Talley one-piece rings (2 oz per set). This mounting system ensures proper scope alignment while maintaining the rifle's weight advantages. Choose lightweight optics with appropriate magnification to preserve handling characteristics.

Stock Design and Ergonomics

The AG Composites carbon fiber stock incorporates several design features that enhance both comfort and performance in the field.

Key Features:

• Negative comb drop directs recoil straight back while allowing the stock to slide past the cheek during recoil rather than impacting it

• 13.5" length of pull with 1" Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad for comfortable shooting

• Full-length bedding system enhances barrel stiffness and mitigates harmonic variations as the barrel heats

• Carbon fiber construction maintains rigidity without weight penalty, ensuring consistent accuracy throughout extended shooting sessions
