MODEL 21 RIFLE HANDBOOK

MODEL Nosler M21 Bolt Action

A rifle for the next decade, the new Model 21 is a feature-rich production firearm that has the feel and performance of a custom build. Featuring premium components throughout and weighing roughly 7 pounds depending on the cartridge, the Model 21 rifle brings exceptional precision and packable reliability to any hunt.

Nosler M21 Bolt Action A PIECE OF THE ACTION

Blueprinted from birth on advanced wire EDM equipment, the Model 21 action was thoughtfully designed to deliver exceptional performance in a user-friendly platform with several built-in custom features throughout. Among these features is a spiral fluted, one-piece, Nitride coated bolt made of 4340 Chrome Moly steel. In addition to a sleek aesthetic, and nearly effortless functioning, the fluted design provides a reduction in weight and helps to channel debris, preventing the bolt from jamming in environments where dirt and sand is an issue. In line with the M21 action’s practical design philosophy, the bolt’s upgraded M16-style extractor and fire control group feature tool-less takedown.

Nosler M21 Bolt Action UPGRADED BOLT

A one-piece bolt body machined from a hardened 4340 Chrome Molybdenum billet.  The bolt is fluted to decrease the contact of bolt to receiver which provides for a smooth open and close.  To also increase the smooth feel and increase the life of the bolt it is then NIB-X ( Nitride) coated.  Using a modified M-16 style extractor provides for excellent extraction while using a tool-less design for disassembly and cleaning.  The bolt handle is threaded 5/16-24 TPI for change out to many popular bolt handle configurations.

MCMILLAN® HUNTERS EDGE® SPORTER STOCK

When hunters think of a strong, dependable yet lightweight stock, the #1 material they think of is Carbon Fiber, and McMillan® is synonymous with accuracy, reliability and strength. The McMillan® HUNTERS EDGE® SPORTER stock on the M21 is constructed of 100% carbon fiber to ensure dependability while maintaining the ultra-light feel so many hunters desire. Included for strength are Aluminum pillars and a 1” recoil pad that is set at a standard 13.5” LOP. Painted in an all-weather epoxy style paint to guard your rifle from all the elements you may encounter.

Personally, I have no complaints whatsoever about Nosler’s newest offering. I am, traditionally speaking, a fan of controlled-round-feed actions, but will also say that among the push-feed designs the Model 21 ranks high in my estimation. Feeding, extraction and ejection were all flawless, the rifle was an absolute pleasure to use in a bunch of different hunting situations, and I think it’s a good-looking rifle. It is impervious to weather, and carried very well around the hills and valleys of Molokai, handling precision shots out to 250 yards and rushed shots from an improvised rest inside 100 yards. If the Nosler cartridges tickle your fancy–and what’s not to like?–give the Nosler Model 21 a good, long look; the rifle feels like an old friend right out of the box.

The action and one-piece fluted bolt body for the Model 21 are wire EDM machined from 4340 Chrome Moly steel. The action is similar in design to the HOWA 1500 with twin lugs, a plunger-style ejector, and a Sako-like, M16 extractor. Nosler offers long and short-action versions of the Model 21, and both are outfitted with a 2.5- to 5.5-pound adjustable Trigger Tech trigger and a Shilen match-grade stainless steel barrel. 

The barrel is threaded at the muzzle, with either a ½-28 or 5/8-24 TPI, depending on caliber. The bolt handle is slightly oversized, but it is also threaded at 5/16-24 TPI to accept after-market bolt handles, and it is Nitride coated. Nosler Cerakotes all the other metal surfaces on the Model 21. 

The barreled action is bedded with aluminum pillars to a carbon-fiber McMillan Hunters Edge Sporter stock. It comes standard with a one-inch recoil pad and a 13.5-inch length of pull. There is a minute amount of drop in the stock, but it is not excessive. When a conventional-size scope is mounted—low—your eye should naturally line up with the center of the scope while still affording a good cheek weld. It has a hinged floor plate and an internal magazine capacity of three or four, depending on the chambering.

Shots Fired: How the Nosler Model 21 Did in Our Test

During our Field & Steam 2022 rifle test, we fired the Model 21 120 times. This included familiarization, precision testing at distance, and all the shooting during practical hunting drills. There were no issues of any kind. But that’s only part of this rifle’s story. I actually received this rifle a few months prior to our rifle test and the first thing I did was start a logbook. It came from Nosler with a suggested break-in procedure, and while I don’t believe a break-in determines the performance of a rifle barrel, I followed the procedure because the manufacturer suggested it.

Using the Sig Sauer 140-grain OTM load, I fired 10 shots and cleaned after every shot. I then fired 15 shots, cleaning after every three shots. Then I fired five shots, cleaned the barrel, and fired a single, fouling shot. Next, I fired five shots for the record. The 31 shots fired during the break-in procedure produced a group that measured 1.25 inches. The five shots fired after the break-in procedure measured 0.566-inch. Both groups were impressive. Since then, a lot more five-shot groups have been fired with an additional 11 different loads. The average for every group fired was a stunning, 0.94 inches. This is indeed a sub-MOA bolt-action hunting rifle, and pound for pound, it delivers exceptional precision.

But there are no benches or sandbags in the field, and this is after all a hunting rifle. And a hunting rifle needs to perform when shooting offhand and from various field shooting positions. When it comes to off-hand shooting, the rule with rifles is that if they are butt heavy, they handle well, and if they are muzzle heavy, they’re easier to shoot off-hand. The Model 21 is neither butt nor muzzle-heavy, the rifle balances right at the front guard screw, right between your hands. This means that it not only handles well, but it also means it can be shot well in the field. Because of this the Model 21 performed better than every other rifle we tested during the practical hunting/shooting phase of our test.

Last Words

Though I thought this a fabulous rifle, I did not love everything about it. For pure perfection, I would have preferred a trigger/safety system that locked the bolt when on safe, either a neutral or some negative drop in the stock, and a different color scheme on the stock. With its dark black/charcoal base and random white speckling, the rifle looks like it was birthed in the bottom of a pigeon cage. I’d also like to see a few more non-Nosler cartridges offered. You might say I’m nitpicking, but, well, nitpicking is my job.

I do however believe that—pigeon poop stock aside—the Nosler Model 21 is one of the best five rifles I’ve ever tested. It delivered flawless operation, great precision, was comfortable to shoot, it was not too heavy, and it was very comfortable to carry and easy to manipulate. As far as bolt-action rifles go, you’ll struggle to find one its equal without spending substantially more money. Many hunters will go through a lot of rifles looking for that special one. You could just start with the Nosler Model 21 and save yourself a lot of time, money, and frustration.
