Nula rifles, made by Melvin Forbes. NULA cad $3500. (Granville west Virginia)

Forbes rifles, designed by Melvin forbes, (M20B and M24B), are completely different rifles. Forbes rifles Cad $1700-1800. (westbrook Maine)

The few NULA I have seen and handled are truly something special,
The Forbs rifles have been aviable in Canada for a while, and have not lived up to there hype, I know of several that were not made well and were sent back for repair, and that were much heavier that advertised, 1/2 kg or more.
Have a look on Alberta outdoors, and you will find sum dissapointed customers, I haven't heard may complaints of late, perhaps Melvin flew out and booted a few asses, its his reputation that sells the forbes rifles.
I arn't saying they are a bad rifle, but up hear the Kimber Montana is the same and the Sako finlight another $100, both are well proven.
If your able to get a NULA for 3 grand, I take a 280AI.
