Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Legendary Arms Works

A new issue of RifleShooter showed up today, and there's an article about these rifles.

Took a look, and they look really nice, for a reasonable price.

Here's a link to their site:

That might just be a winner right there. Wonder if the entire action is stainless ?

I like the looks of that.

One of the dealers is close by.

Nice looking rifles.

But no left hand option! Such is the life of a lefty

I like the looks of that. Couple of things I noticed; the Closer and Professional are listed with the same weights. However, the Professional is touted as being their 'lightweight' model. Also, the 10" twist on the 243... They did go with a 8" on the 6.5 cartridges though. If my memory and a quick internet search + intuition are correct, these appear to be a reincarnation of the rifle action that Ed Brown/Brown Precision used to make. The number is the same.

thats a great price point for what they are offering but time will tell...thats the old Ed Brown action that he used on his rifles along with Mark Bansers high tech stock and who knows what barrel manufacturer......if they have the fit and finish of Marks previous rifles when he made them under his name I can see me with one

I'd like a close-up look at the right bolt lug. It looks as though they take a pretty good sized chunk out of it to house the extractor.

Well, I just placed an order for a "closer" in .243. No idea on delivery date yet as the sales person is going to follow up with my FFL today. I figured it's worth a shot with Mark's name attached to the company, as well as Craig Boddington using them on his tv show. The rifles have all the right parts, the only question is how well they will be screwed together.

Lefthand option please. I think Ed Brown offered the action in a left hand version.

Also faster twist (1-8) options for vld type bullets in 22, 24, 28.

And 1-9 twist for 25 and .27 cal.

Mark made a heck of a nice rifle and they were very accurate too. IIRC, he used Lilja barrels whereas the Brown rifles used Shilen. Depending on who's barrel they are using, these rifles seem to be pricing very fairly.

I just noticed the first rifle pic on their Facebook page has a blind magazine so maybe someone messed up the specs on those two rifles. They do clearly state that one is their "lightweight" model and the other is their "medium" weight rifle.

I figure it's a typo, just something I noticed.

Anyone happen to know what the mag length is on the short action?

Just to be clear...the action made by Ed Brown was not made by Brown Precision. The only thing in common is the name " Brown ". Likewise Mark Bansner should not be confused with Mark Brown who runs Brown Precision.
Both are really great guys.

Thanks for clarifying that. I definitely got that one wrong.

I shot the Closer model the other day at the SHOT media day. VERY nice rifle. Was sort of a fluke that I even shot it as I never even heard of the company. Only put a couple rounds through it. Fit and finish was top notch, we were easily ringing steel at a little over 450 yards off the bench. I think it was in 26 Nosler but cant recall. Street price will be around $1400ish.

Lots of good stuff - great stock, stainless barrel with Cerakote, claw extractor, solid warranty. Between these rifles and the Montana Rifle Company rifles I am seriously questioning my Winchester loyalty.

They look very sharp. Great cartridges as well.

I spoke with someone from Legendary Arms today and they said that the pic of the rifle on their FB page with the blind mag was a prototype rifle they had made for someone.

Greetings All,

I am posting answers to questions and other information on this thread to avoid duplication to my original posting here:

Legendary Arms Works Rifles-A new rifle manufacturing company

Please direct any questions to that thread.

Thanks for your interest in our rifles and the feedback and opinions,
Paul

I bought a LAW Professional in 28 Nosler. I have to say, it is the most accurate hunting rifle I own. I have a custom 700 in 280AI, I have a couple Coopers, and this sucker is not only a smoker but super accurate. I was completely blown away. I zero'd it at 200 yards off a bench and it shoots quarter size groups...with factory Nosler 175 grain ABLR.

No, I don't work for Legendary Arms.
