Have this gun posted in "Classifieds". Just doesn't get any use as my 270 WSM ULA is my "go to" rifle!

Came to my senses and decided to keep!

That was a sound decision (unless you really needed cash). If you ever find yourself in need of a slightly bigger hammer, have Mel rebarrel that .300WSM to .338 Win. Mag. (my choice) or .350 Rem. Mag. You'd have black timber elk and bear hunters lining up for it.

NULA makes fine rifles; I had wanted one at one point, but the original ULA was bought, and subsequently run into the ground by USRAC and that was the end of that.

No offense intended, but I have no interests in the WSMs, whatsoever. There is no real ballistic benefit over the corresponding 'short' Win. Mags., and I abhor the manufacturers' penchant for hyperbole about their latest supposed 'wonder cartridges'.

You mean Colt. And a .338 Winchester will require a long action; I believe since Chris' rifle is a .300 WSM it is a NULA Model 28 Short.

You're right on both counts, of course. It was Colt, not USRAC, which only ran itself into the ground , and I forgot the difference between the M-28 that I wanted, and the M-28S Chris has.

George: I agree on the hype issue with WSM's. I bought (2) ULA's in consecutive serial numbers for light hunting rigs; not based on the hype! Although the 270 WSM does slightly out perform the 270 Win. By the way, these are both ULA's, NOT NULA's!
