• 40th Anniversary Melvin Forbes Tribute NULA

  This commemorative rifle is chambered for the versatile .284 Winchester, known for its flat trajectory and excellent long-range capabilities. It features a meticulously crafted tapered barrel with a 1-8.5 twist rate, a Timney Elite Hunter trigger with a smooth 2.75- to 3.25-pound trigger pull, and a redesigned one-piece bolt handle for smoother operation and improved ergonomics.

  Following the NULA tradition, each rifle is furnished with an ultra-lightweight AG Composites carbon-fiber stock. This design incorporates reinforced receiver walls, providing enhanced strength without increasing the rifle's overall weight.

  Enthusiasts will recognize Melvin's beloved striped camo pattern, expertly applied and reintroduced by Wilson Combat's renowned paint shop as the limited MFT (Melvin Forbes Tribute) woodland camo. This classic and instantly recognizable pattern gives the 40th Anniversary Melvin Forbes Tribute NULA a unique and rugged appearance, ensuring that each rifle is not just a firearm, but a collectible piece of shooting history.

  Adding to this rifle’s collectibility, we’ve laser-engraved each aluminum floorplate with a limited 40th-Anniversary logo.

  The 40th Anniversary Melvin Forbes Tribute NULA has been crafted to honor both the spirit of innovation and the enduring legacy of Melvin Forbes and his lasting impact on the art of building custom rifles.

  * Accuracy guarantee depends on using specified new factory-loaded ammunition.
