Awards and Accolades

Field & Stream names the Wilson Combat NULA Model 20S the best lightweight rifle of 2024! Read the article here.

We tested three 300 HAMR loads, and they all averaged less than an inch. This is clearly a great-shooting rifle, but its best feature is its light weight and compact size. It was an absolute joy to carry, handle, and shoot, with or without a suppressor.

NULA Model 20/20S Is the Rifle of Year for 2024

Guns & Ammo names the Wilson Combat NULA Model 20/20S the rifle of the year for 2024!

After the NULA model 20 was awarded best new bolt action rifle of 2023 by FIELD & STREAM and the Editor's Choice award by ON TARGET magazines, it was quite a surprise when the publisher of GUNS & AMMO called to tell me us that the NULA rifle had been chosen for the 2024 bolt action rifle of the year. This is quite an award since the votes came from the editorial staff of editors and writers which are separate from the advertising side of the publication. All of us here at Wilson Combat who have worked so hard on the NULA project are humbled and very appreciative of this prestigious award by one of the oldest and most respected firearm enthusiast magazines.
- Bill Wilson, President and CEO
