Vol717NULA Rifles
I have admired these guns for some time but at almost $4K, I have held back. Recently I found a used M24 in .30/06 at a good price and jumped on it. It's also a left handed rifle. The rifle came with 30mm Talley ring mounts so I installed a Zeiss 3-12 X50 on it for the time being. A smaller scope would be in better proportion but this one will do for now. The rifle and mounts weigh 5 lb, 4 oz. That means that the barrel is the lighter No 1 contour. I zeroed the gun with the Zeiss and fired 7 shots pretty much as fast as I could and the rifle didn't seem to have a wandering zero like most lightweight rifles do after 2-3 shots. The barrel is full length bedded in the Kevlar stock and that is what reportedly leads to maintaining zero. After getting the rifle on paper I shot the last three rounds into a cloverleaf. This gun will shoot! I think I"m going to enjoy it. It isn't perfect. I think the safety is a little stiff and you have to be careful to push the three rounds in the magazine toward the rear for proper feeding. But having an exceptionally light, very accurate rifle is always a joy.

CougarzHave fun with yours. I've always wanted to try one but haven't found a used one in my price range.

ColoradoMattI’ve read that NULA (Forbes) uses an oscilloscope to aid in dialing in bedding. I assume that the oscilloscope determines the level of vibrational dampening that has been achieved.
