In this episode, we take aim at one of the most niche, beastly, and surprisingly shootable rifles in the ultra-long-range world — the Noreen Firearms ULR, a bolt-action brute built to tame .50 BMG and beyond.Designed in-house by Noreen Firearms in Montana, the ULR (Ultra Long Range) system is a single-shot bolt-action rifle built for pure precision and power. With caliber options like .338 Lapua, .408 CheyTac, .416 Barrett, and .50 BMG, the ULR isn’t for plinking soda cans — it’s for stretching your reach to the horizon.We cover:The no-nonsense, single-shot shell holder bolt design — simple, reliable, and surprisingly fastWhy this rifle has no mechanical safety — and how Noreen puts full responsibility in the shooter’s handsHow it manages brutal recoil with three layers of mitigation: a proprietary muzzle brake, a spring-loaded suspension stock, and 32+ pounds of weightDetails on the collapsible stock, folding bipod, and the flat 0 MOA scope rail — plus why you might want to upgrade the rail for true ELR workNoreen’s commitment to in-house manufacturing and rapid innovation — including a story of developing a semi-auto .408 CheyTac in just two weeks for an international defense demoThe Timney adjustable trigger, A2 pistol grip, and what you can expect in terms of user upgrades and long-range accuracyReal-world customer feedback on shootability, build quality, and value — with some small gripes about the stock mechanism and retention pinsWe also dig into Noreen’s history of working with SOCOM on remote-firing perimeter defense rifles, their innovations in gas piston systems for large-caliber semi-autos, and what makes them one of the most interesting names in American long-range manufacturing.Whether you’re into extreme range, massive calibers, or just want to know what it takes to responsibly shoot a .50 BMG bolt gun that folds into a double rifle case, this episode covers everything you need to know about the Noreen ULR.
