Your own statements verify my words. 600 grit got it functioning. I pulled a bad batch of ammo. Feed it good stuff, and it generally does OK. They intended to find out if the laser sight that comes with some other rifles was a useful addition, or just another sales gimmick. That said, I seem to remember that most of the feed problems were related to over-tightening of the guide rails in the receiver. And with a $200 at rifle I feel greedy wanting better performance. The rifle breaks down into the receiver and the barrel, and the plastic stock by removing the two screws holding them together, one to the rear of the trigger, and the other forward of the magazine well. As for customizing, I did add sling swivels, a bipod and changed to a different scope. Bought the standard 10 round metal magazines. Many a youngster had one for his first rifle, and while they may not be ideal for that service, they are unquestionably handy rifles for any serious outdoorsman. The 30-rounders aren’t as reliable but they function just as well as Ruger’s BX-25 does in a 10/22. Remington offers the open sighted version with a large variety of stock configurations and camouflages. I consider a minimum of 200 rounds in order to break it in, and after that I hope it will run flawlessly. Your email address will not be published. Wish TTAG would start running a POSterboy Of The Month column to warn novice shooters what to stay away from. There were a few things I noticed though that I’d like to hear some feedback from some of the regulars around here on… Although the gun would accept tip-off scope rings and was drilled for traditional scope bases, they chose to shoot it with the iron sights provided. Many reviewers have commented on the magazines for this rifle. I just got a replacement and will take it to the range soon for a test, but even this one, as usual, will not accept a full load of 30 rounds. You’re making me miss my 597. They can also be excellent training pieces for just about anyone interested in serious shooting. I own a Marlin 70PPS that I did nothing to besides adding a scope, and I can shoot 1/2″ groups all day at 25 yards. Which is actually weird considering, for the most part, Remington quality seems to have slipped since the ownership change and whatever else. (Very old ammo.) Thanks for the review. Remy fixed that with 3rd gen clips identified by a # 10 with a circle on the side of the clip. It’s a classy, very reliable .22 with a terrible trigger. Then the plastic feed lips failed (causing all loaded ammo to spray everywhere), and the top of the magazines split apart. I ordered a replacement from Remington, and was able to put it in this last week. Comments noted. Assuming you can even load the full 30 rounds, an accomplishment in itself, feeding is extremely unreliable. The design is also available with blued barrel for an incredibly low $188; blued with scope for $229; in a laminated-stock, heavy-barrel version ($337); and with laminated stock and stainless barrel ($348). I’ve had what I consider to be more than acceptable reliability issues, but mostly with Remington .22 ammo (any port in a storm, amirite?). It did have one use, though. Great product. The rifle is comfortable to handle, fun to shoot, and if I can stumble out of my cot and put down a running raccoon that picked the wrong ice chest in the dead of night with a single shot. I don’t presume to have the Holy Grail in my gun safe, and to each his own, so I will not bash others for what they have purchased or what they are happy with. The friction between the two was so great, that I could carefully pull back and release the bolt, and it would hold itself open through friction! It won’t eject some of the weak, subsonic ammo on the market, but practically no other semi-auto .22 rifle or pistol will cycle that stuff either. They detract from the amount of highly limited time I have to send lead downrange. One Remington .22lr rifle that I am happy with is the Nylon 66 which is like the Energizer Bunny. The forend was wide and comfortable, and the pistol grip was also on the large side. Put a decent scope (and mounts) on and it would be a great gun, Tweeked the quide rails by polishing them on a buffing wheel and not tightening them as much as the manual says – cured the feed problem gun – put a Volquartsen hammeer/spring package in it – now shoots consistent 50 yd 1.5 moa groups with some ammo brands – great little 597 HB c/ Leupold 7x variable sope, 597HB – buffed the quide rails/rods and did not tighten the quide rods as much as the manual calls for – used a Volquartsen hammer/spring – consistent 1.5 moa groups at 50yds with some ammo brands. Your email address will not be published. My 597 is a .22 magnum, which isn’t an option for the 10/22.That’s why I bought it. With the synthetic stock the butt plate removes by finger pressure to reveal a void that can be used as a storage compartment for items like lens wipes, cleaning wipes, a bore snake, etc. Feeding failures, Firing failures, Double feeds, Double fires, Ejection failures… this is the most failure prone rifle ever made. Less so than through use, but it does nevertheless. To their credit Remington does very readily replace any defective magazines you have without even asking or the original one back. I do wish Demetri had shared what he used to mount the sling, as I have been considering doing that myself. Not sure that the 597 could improve on that. The scales tipped slightly in favor of the Remington but not enough to overcome the popular “prevalence” of the Ruger. I remember when I was trying to decide between the 597 and the 10/22. The .22 magnum ejects with a lot more force than .22LR. The hammer wasn’t all that smooth either, but it didn’t require much attention to get it working. Here is what they found. If there’s resistance moving the bold with the trigger group still attached, check the bolt and hammer. You should not have to repair or redesign a brand new rifle. At $160, it’s “meh.” Add $20 worth of improvements, it could be a competitor for the 10/22. Cleaning/Breakdown: * * * * Match grade stainless barrel is very accurate and I would not hesitate to purchase from Jarvis again...nor should you! Military & LE Discounts This button rifling process produces a mirror like 4 to 6 micron finish. The profile looks awesome with a rimfire suppressor and this rifle is super quiet suppressed! I will end this section by saying that I have shot much better groupings with this rifle on better days at twice the distance, but I cannot prove it to you now so take with as many grains of salt as you please. The 597 is the most accurate out of the box and extremely accurate with a good scope. The Remington 597 has had an abysmal reputation for years. The butt plate was checkered to help hold the rifle in place on the shoulder. One complaint I will voice, the rifle came without sling mounts pre-installed. The barrel, receiver, and stock were entirely glare free. The original poster boy for POS. I do not enjoy malfunctions when shooting. And the accuracy of this gun is SUPERB, Remington dumped a ton of the 597 project budget into barrels .. these are simply superb factory rimfire barrels that are much higher quality than a stock and comparably priced 10/22. The safety button was behind the trigger guard like that on the Remington 870 shotgun. They thought it was a decent trigger, though a bit on the heavy side. I don’t know where your looking for .22lr ammo at but it’s all over. The scope that comes with these is like looking through smoke from a campfire. It didn’t like the Aguila ammunition whatsoever, often flinging one or two of a five-shot string completely off the paper. Cyclical deformation and return are much more damaging to springs. If I won the MegaMillions or Powerball I would open a .22 ammo factory. Why does the Ruger crowd always seem to point out, that if someone states, that the Remington 597 (or Marlin, Mossberg, Savage etc) is more accurate out of the box, that with a few mods and after market parts, the Ruger 10/22 will out shoot the aforementioned rifle. Screw in tiny screws just to touch rods then back off slightly, about 1/4 turn. 1. No other 22 suffers this kind of FTE rate, not even close. It was so much fun, so classy, and so cheap @ $149.99 w/ scope, I soon after bought a S&W M&P 15-22, and that was that. Also I didn’t see any of the aftermarket hammers or extractors mentioned in the list of available mods. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. It broke so frequently after about 1000 rounds that he ended up leaving it at my house permanently. The 597 has had FTE since it was introduced due to the crap ejector it comes with. Magazine capacity: 10 (larger variants available) 95 BOX BIRD LANE Sadly, 597 was discontinued in 2019. I bought my Ruger 10/22 Sporter over 30 years ago and have never regretted it through 10s of thousands of rounds with only simple and expected maintenance. At Jarvis, Inc. we believe that our experience and attention to detail are producing the finest 1911 barrels available. They thought this was by no means a youth’s rifle. They said its moderate price would put it into lots of gun cabinets, and they predicted its robust construction and good materials would keep it there for many years. Now pull the bolt back to push the two bars out, and hold your hand over the bottom of the receiver, as the springs that push the bolt may fly out. Apparently Big Green redesigned certain aspects of the magazines some few years ago and they’re much more reliable than they used to be (for those who will comment that the 597 has a history of mag issues). Ergonomics: * * * * * Accuracy is good, but being totally unreliable doesn’t give any confidence to use it for hunting. I’ve had the same experience as you, Jeremy. The latch smoothly pulls back and the magazine drops free with little to no friction. Just today at the range I set 597 on the table and scope and mounts came off gun. The testers said it was an exceptionally clean-looking rifle. Admittedly I’m spoiled by my 10/22 that has a nicer .920″ barrel, some trigger work, and a couple of other goodies, but the 597 is just kind of “meh.”. Accuracy: * * * * Go to http://www.stockystocks.com for a good 597 stock. It’s very accurate for coyotes and ground hogs at up to 100 yards, which is what I use it for (may be accurate to farther than 100 yards, but I don’t really shoot farther than that, so I can’t say). called today told will ship handle . This rifle simply didn’t shine, and that’s all to the good. I’ve tried 7 brands of ammo and none of it was the cheap bulk ammo. Laminated wood designs that can use sling swivels and be truly free floated. Clearly the high-speed Aguila ammunition is not for every rifle. But I am expecting that the functioning of the rifle will be as reliable as I have found it in the past. I got the version with a synthetic stock and scope because, frankly, my old eyes don’t do well with iron sights now.
