I had a sow brown bear, who had a cub with her, full on charge me from 17 steps. Guide did not have a bullet in the chamber of his gun and his scope was covered up. That is one day I fully know there is a God, and He was looking down on me. Somehow, I was able to raise my rifle and shoot her...

When I was picking up my NULA rifle earlier this month, I noticed Melvin's prices increased from 3600 to 4200 per rifle. Not complaining, just letting you know prices have increased. My rifle took 12 months to get completed.

Hahahahahahahaha

I’m lazy, so Weight is a big factor for me. I like the new Leupold VX3 scopes!

3500 for a crossbow!! 🤣😂😆

Your existing rifle is a great choice. Back in 1989 I hunted brown bear on the Alaskan peninsula with a .375 H&H. I was charged by a sow brown bear, her charge started at 17 steps. God decided it wasn’t my day to die because somehow I was able to get my gun up, shoot her in the mouth which...

I support any rifle caliber a hunter chooses. 6.5PRC is some very expensive ammo.

I love my Leupold VX5 2-10, and VX3HD 2.5-8. I’m lazy, I hate carrying extra weight. Lol

For me, weight is a major issue. I'm lazy, I don't want to be packing any more weight than necessary. I do not recall what my S&B weighs, but I do know my leupold VX5hd, 2x10 weighs about 16.5 oz, and my new leupold VX3hd weighs about 11.5 oz. I see the NF 1x8 weighs 17 oz, so that would be...

I have a Schmidt and Bender 1.5 - 6 scope on mine, I bought that many years ago. Now with the internet and ability to research things, I may opt for something different, but for sure I would keep a lower power scope for hunting big dangerous bears. I had a sow brown bear stand up and look at...

I took my first African safari back in 1988, then I did a brown bear hunt in 1989. I was using a Winchester .375H&H. On both my bear hunt and african hunt my rifle repeatedly jammed, and, that thing kicked like a mule. So I sold it and bought a Browning stainless stalker I think it was...

Like most people, I own a number of guns, but I have 3 main hunting guns that I use regularly, Kimber Talkeetna in 375H&H, Kimber Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor, and a Kimber Mountain Ascent in .308. So I really did not have a caliber of gun that I actually wanted. Because of that, and because I hunt...

I have been wanting one of his rifles for 20 years. I have read as many articles about his work as I can. So one day last month I decided I would just go order me a new NULA rifle. I was in Morgantown to see the doctor, so I just plugged in Melvin's address, and went to see him. He was...

I too have wanted a NULA rifle for many years. I live just an hour from Morgantown and am in Morgantown generally once a week. So I finally ordered my first rifle last month. When I put my deposit down, I never asked how long it would take to get my rifle. As I was leaving Melvin said he was...
