With death, there is rebirth, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, bigger, better, and more robust. In 1985, the world was introduced to the New Ultralight Arms (NULA) bolt action rifles. These new bolt action rifles weighed less than 5 lbs with short action, chambering calibers such as .308. Last year, Wilson Combat acquired New Ultralight Arms and, a year later, has updated the legendary rifle series for modern shooters.

Below is the product information and specifications for the NULA Model 20 bolt action rifle.
