colt light rifle
Just wondering if anybody has any experience with these rifles. Are they any good and I was told they only made around 5000 or so. I have the opportunity to pick up one in 300 win mag with a burris fullfield 3x9x40 edot scope for for $600. thanks Jeff

Does anyone know if there is another stock that will fit this rifle.
Preferably a synthetic one. I know the purpose of these rifles is to be very light and it is but I'd like to put a more solid stock on it. I love the way it shoots but it's a 300 win mag and weighing a little more than 5Lbs. It kickes like a mule. If anybody knows of such a stock and where I can get it please let me know.
Thanks Jeff0 -

One of the Remington 700 two piece bases won't fit , can't remember if it was the front or the back. I never could find anything that worked. A gunsmith could probably make a set that works...bull 0 -
Check with Brownell's tech dept they will give you correct information. 0 -
+1 on bull300wsm's comment and recommendation.
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 interchangeable 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.
You can also try to contact him at http://www.newultralight.com/ , perhaps he can help you or recommend a more suitable course of action.
Good luck!
