[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 222031, member: 12"] Colt bought ULA and redesigned the parts and farmed them out to many (the cheapest) mftrs . Consequently they had quality and fitting issues that killed the rifle. Melvin bought it back when Colt folded it and renamed it the NULA (New Ultra Light Arms) The Colt Light rifles only have 3 minor parts that are interchangable with the ULA models. They are absolutely not the same guns. Melvin Forbes (ULA/NULA owner) a couple years ago was in the process of tracking down the different mftrs and buying up their stock of Colt Light Rifle parts from them. I am not current on his success with this but he was working on it and said if pushed for $ he could make most of the parts if needed for repairs, however this was 3-4 yrs ago. The ULA model 20 (SA) weighs 4.5 lbs with the Colt version about 5.5 lbs. The ULA model 22/24 (LA) weighs in at around 5.5 lbs with the Colt version about 6 to 6.5. They are chrome moly only, no SS. the ULAs with load development will go .5-.75 MOA routinely. I have had 3 of them (2 in 7mm-08 and one in 6.5x55) From what I have seen and heard the Colt versions go .75-1 MOA. I have shot one in 300 Win Mag. Going price for the LA light rifles is $450-600 (NIB). Several show up on 24 hr campfire routinely and people often ask to buy one and get offers for sale. Bottom line decent rifles in the weight range they are with decent (MOA) accuracy and price is right. BH [/QUOTE]
