Contact Dealers for Your 40th Anniversary NULA

Forty years ago, Melvin Forbes revolutionized hunting rifles. He did this by removing what didn’t need to be there—heavy stocks, extra metal, sub-par triggers—and gave us all one of the most innovative hunting firearms of modern times: The NULA Model 20.

Forbes dropped rifle weights to unheard of lows by pioneering the use of space-age composites. Not stopping at weight savings, he designed his rifles to an exacting level of precision, giving hunters unfailing accuracy they could depend on. For this, legendary writers like David E. Petzal have called him “…one of the handful of men most responsible for the radical transformation of the American hunting rifle.”

To recognize Forbes’s groundbreaking contributions, we’re proud to release the Wilson Combat 40th Anniversary Melvin Forbes Tribute NULA. This limited-edition rifle is a testament to Melvin Forbes’s mission to build lightweight, accurate firearms, celebrating four decades of innovative craftsmanship that have revolutionized the shooting world.

Offered exclusively in .284 Winchester.

DEALER LIST

This commemorative rifle is chambered for the versatile .284 Winchester, known for its flat trajectory and excellent long-range capabilities. It features a meticulously crafted tapered barrel with a 1-8.5 twist rate, a Timney Elite Hunter trigger with a smooth 2.75- to 3.25-pound trigger pull, and a redesigned one-piece bolt handle for smoother operation and improved ergonomics.
Following the NULA tradition, each rifle is furnished with an ultra-lightweight AG Composites carbon-fiber stock. This design incorporates reinforced receiver walls, providing enhanced strength without increasing the rifle’s overall weight.
Enthusiasts will recognize Melvin’s beloved striped camo pattern, expertly applied and reintroduced by Wilson Combat’s renowned paint shop as the limited MFT (Melvin Forbes Tribute) woodland camo. This classic pattern—along with the limited laser-engraved floorplate—ensures that each 40th Anniversary Melvin Forbes Tribute NULA is not just a firearm, but a collectible piece of shooting history.
