I'm very interested in getting a LAW Closer or Professional but can't locate any actually for sale. Does anyone know if they are actually available, or when they will be?

Thanks.
I also posted on Ask the Gunwriters so probably should refer future comments to that Forum

They are available. I handled a professional earlier this week at my local Sportsmans Warehouse.

From a previous post of mine: Was just at my local Sportsmans Warehouse, and they have a professional in stock for 1599 in 300 win mag. Here are my impressions:
Overall fit seemed very nice. The only flaw I saw was in the fit between the pad and the stock. The pad is not a grind to fit, so it doesn't fit the stock perfectly. Very close, but not perfect. It is glued to the stock. Stock paint was nice. I've worked I a number of Bansners, and this one was finished well. Fit to the action was very nice, and the barrel was nicely centered into the inlet. Cerakote was even, and well executed.
The action was much tighter than a factory rifle. The bolt run was a little rough, but likely due to the cerakote on the action. This is typical of all newly cerakoted actions I have handled. The bolt timing and primary extraction seemed well executed.
The bottom metal to stock fit was nice, and the bottom metal was really nice. Oberndorf release tha was very positive- a lot like a badger M4.
If the closer is similar, I will own one. It's a heck of a lot of rifle for the price.

I'll 2nd what Darren said. Also just fondled one last week for a 2nd time. Also a 300 Mag, the example at my Sportsmans overall was a really nicely balanced rifle. Fit & finish was 1st rate, the action was darn slick. I could own one of these in a short action and be happy to hunt with it.

Anyone know the mag box length of the short actions?

No man...looking for good things that will work when I rebarrel it.... Just joking. It looks like they went to a 1/9 with their .243. Would prefer a 1/8 but could live with the 9.

I'd guess 98% of hunters don't give a rip about twist or mag box length but I could be wrong. I'd like to see it a bit longer myself, but not a deal killer.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

If 98% don't care and there's no downside to a faster twist, shorter throat and/or longer box, why not do it that way?

John Maybe you can ask Ed Brown, or Bansner?

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I figure Bansner, Brown, etc know way more about it than 99.9% of the people here that always bitch and moan about twist rates. Nosler did the same thing with the Patriot, and speaking specifically about the short action 7mm08, it's extremely accurate.

[bleep], there are more than a few Nosler bullets that you can't shoot in Nosler rifles. That's marketing brilliance. There is NO downside to adding a 'little' twist, but the stupid never seem to understand that.

Once again, you have nothing to offer but your loud mouth. Business as usual. Nosler can't even keep up with demand for their rifles or bullets now, with the possible exception of the E-Tip.
When I start having trouble killing stuff, I'll holler at you since you've proven to be so good at it.
