Also known as: NULA Model 20S, NULA Mini Action, WC NULA 20S
Overview
The Wilson Combat NULA Model 20S is the mini-action variant of the NULA bolt rifle, built on a shortened action sized for compact, high-efficiency cartridges. Like its larger sibling it pairs a 416R stainless honed and double-stress-relieved button-rifled barrel with an AG Composites carbon-fiber stock and a Timney Elite Hunter trigger, carrying the same sub-1-MOA accuracy guarantee in an even lighter package - as little as 4 lb 13 oz. Chambered in .223 Wylde, .300 HAM'R, .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend, the Model 20S is an ideal lightweight rifle for deer, hogs, predators, and straight-wall-cartridge hunting zones. It was named Guns & Ammo's Rifle of the Year for 2024.
