BERRYVILLE, AR. – Wilson Combat is proud to announce that the NULA Model 20 and Model 20S have been awarded Guns & Ammo's 2024 Rifle of the Year. Built on the iconic design by Melvin Forbes, the NULA series upholds the handmade craftsmanship and attention to detail that NULA rifles are known for, while utilizing modern manufacturing techniques to deliver rifles that are true to their heritage and accessible to a broader audience.

“A year after these rifles became available, we were thrilled to report that the new NULA rifles from Wilson Combat are more than what we hoped they would be,” said T. Beckstrand, editor at Guns & Ammo.

Guns & Ammo editors evaluated rifles from across the industry, testing them on performance, reliability, and innovation. The NULA M20/20S impressed the publication's experts with its lightweight build, accuracy, and precision craftsmanship. This award, voted on by the editorial staff, highlights Wilson Combat’s commitment to excellence and innovation within the firearm industry.

Reflecting on this recognition, Bill Wilson, President and CEO of Wilson Combat, said:
“After the NULA model 20 being awarded best new bolt action rifle of 2023 by FIELD & STREAM and the editors choice award by ON TARGET, it was quite a surprise when the publisher of GUNS & AMMO called to tell me us that the NULA rifle had been chosen for the 2024 Rifle of the Year. This is quite an award since the votes came from the editorial staff of editors and writers which are separate from the advertising side of the publication. All of us here at Wilson Combat who have worked so hard on the NULA project are humbled and very appreciative of this prestigious award by one of the oldest and most respected firearm enthusiast magazines."

The NULA Model 20S Mini Action, the latest addition to the New Ultralight Arms lineup, features a shorter barrel and expanded caliber options while retaining its lightweight build. This model reflects Wilson Combat’s dedication to maintaining the legacy of Melvin Forbes’ original design while enhancing its performance for modern shooters.
