They had a few bugs with some rifles, but I still say when they get them all worked out, those rifles are going to be a nice option outside of all the Remington clones on the market today.

The LAW closer looks like a nice piece at $1,300 - $1,400 street price. I was considering one, but have had a hard time finding reviews or reports on their accuracy. It's good to hear the 28 N shoots so well, I think I would lean towards a 6.5CM or.260 myself. Out of curriosity, what bugs have been seen with these rifles thus far?

I tried to buy a Closer a couple months ago.
8 months lead time.
Either they are selling quite a few, or they can't afford a little inventory, and are going under soon.
I decided to wait and see what happens.

Wow, 8 months is a bit much, what kind of price was your dealer going to give you? The only dealer from their Web page around here that I've contacted said that they weren't a dealer of LAW products, and that they didn't know why LAW thought they were.... Not a good start. The only Closer I see on GB starts at $1,550... That's Finnlight money, I was hoping to see a couple around $1,400.

I think this is the best policy. So many rifle companies coming and going and I have seen nothing at all that is reassuring about Legendary Arms Works. Just delays and excuses that make me very, very cautious.

Have any more folks on The Campfire owned and shot these rifles enough to have an educated opinion? Let's hear what you think.
Thanks, RS

For you guys shooting Howa actions, his classic-style stock blank is the first one I've seen currently available other than a Boyd's laminate. If you want a classic style stock and have the exerience/skills to finish-inlet and glass bed with pillars, this might be the way to go. Anyone I know that has or had a Banser stock have good things to say about them but as always YMMV.

My buddy is considering a professional in 7 Rem Mag for an elk hunt next year. Thinking it might work...

I have two of the Professional rifles, a 28 Nosler and a 35 Whelen. Both are very well put together, excellent workmanship and superbly accurate. One cannot ask for more than that and between the two they should cover the full spectrum of my hunting needs..

Handled a Professional in 26 Nosler at Mich-I-gun last week. Wow was I impressed.
Figuring out now what trades I might have to get that rifle.

I just picked up a Professional in 28 Nosler. It feeds fine from the right side of the magazine, but the cartridge from the left tends to bind a little on the right side of the ramp. Appears to be good lug contact on both sides.
When I took the action out of the stock, I noticed a slight burr on the bedding block at the front of the magazine well which would prevent the action from seating completely. I filed that burr off. Looks like a simple skim bed is in order.
With the 160 AB Nosler factory ammo, the rifle seems to be a 1" shooter (3 shots at 100 yards). Redding dies were just delivered today so I have not started reloading for it yet.
The Timney trigger adjusts easily. Barrel is well centered in the channel, and there is plenty of space to each side. Ports on the brake are angled forward slightly. It recoils less than my Win70 Featherweight in 30-06 with 150gr TTSX loads.
I like the stock ergonomics. I have small/medium hands and the wrist/grip feel much nicer than the Nosler 48 rifles
