Slow your roll. The next four groups tightened as I concentrated on letting the rounds off with purpose, with average group size at around ¾in. I have a 4-times magnification scope mounted on the rifle, and it sits low, but high enough that the iron sights (adjusted with a small Allen wrench for windage and elevation) do not interfere with the sight picture. The first shot I missed, the second shot I rushed and the slippery bunny bounded on as I sent the next round.

Reliability Accuracy

Too much oil, and grime and soot will accumulate, forming a sludge.
Did you have a problem that you figured out? Now, as far as semi’s goes, I have a Remington 550-1 which is post war and will out shoot Ruger, Marlin or Savage..

The second rabbit stood over its fallen pal. Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor is the first improvement to make to improve function in the 597.

It was definitely the AE. Fastest best group wins.

The factory magazine for it was a piece of garbage plastic magazine with a terrible quality spring. I bought my nephew a 597 a couple years back…package deal with a cheap-o scope, olive green synthetic stock.

I guess you just needed to feel heard, restating what I said. Push the wrench outward slightly, and the cap should come free.

Comments noted. I would normally save the hunting aspect for the end but felt I had to give the Remington a fair review. You can replace the standard 10-round magazine with either a twenty or thirty round alternative, both of which work very reliably. It’s fun to hold, fun to shoot, and impressive to look at. This is especially true of lesser quality alloys, and poorer designs which place excessive pressure on the compressed spring. For those that argue about inexpensive magazines with inferior allows, those will fail regardless of what you do, compress, cycle, store empty. You can go online to ammoseek.com and buy any brand you want delivered to your house as low as $40 for 500 rounds and that’s what I do. This isn’t a tactical rifle meant to field strip in half a minute, but my preference is that it could at least be done without tools.

I began the search for my first firearm a few years ago, and felt I should begin with a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 22lr. They offer this rifle in a variety of configurations including: an open sight model, a scoped model, a tactical model, a heavy barreled model, and a model with a pre-threaded barrel. Now

We had the same problem I had the first time out.

which is probably gonna be never. I took it home I purchased the Volquartsen “Exact Edge extractor” & also their VQ “Target” hammer .. and a nice Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40mm scope. Early magazines were made of plastic and caused a number of feeding problems when loaded with more than three to four rounds. as my brother fired it from the bench. I opted for the Remington because the reviews I had read from those who possessed both stated that the Remington had better accuracy without modification. It did have one use, though. I bought an extra 10 round mag for it…one of the two does much better than the other.

I was amazed 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). As far as which brands of ammunition to use, I have run all brands of bulk ammo from bricks without issue, Remington subsonic ammunition, CCI high velocity, CCI hollow points, the tin of unknown brand shells in my grandfathers garage, and Winchester target loads, and all of them have functioned quite well. 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. The hammer wasn’t all that smooth either, but it didn’t require much attention to get it working.

Many reviewers have commented on the magazines for this rifle. I would sell that rifle.

Insanely heavy trigger pulls and extraction problems (as folks mentioned above) were very common complaints that I really haven’t seen from rifles made in the last few years. It is, sadly, gathering dust along with the 10/22 I got later, and the rest of my beloved .22LR collection….

Of course, you seek to minimize, and in some cases, that is correct. With gun buying panic going on, get parts and remaining 597 rifles while you can if they fit your needs. Save a hundred bucks and spend an extra 8 seconds on reloads at the range.”. Plus highly accurate and reliable. I'm lucky if I pull the trigger and it will actually

The 597 had at least four generations of magazines. Cyclical deformation and return are much more damaging to springs. I also think the Ruger mag design is a little better. I enjoy this rifle more than many of the firearms I own, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a semi-automatic .22. No other 22 suffers this kind of FTE rate, not even close. .

Nothing fancy, just fully functional. You said you used sandbags on and under the barrel instead of under the stock where I learned to rest them.

I chose one with a threaded barrel for my slincer gun.

could also be related to the guide rods, I found when re-assembling them,

When my son came of age, I bought him a model SR10/22. Sold it at a loss.

It turned out that the first two shots had not been heard and the third shot was only heard because of the impact on the rabbit’s head. 2.

Having to drill into the plastic post for a sling swivel was kind of annoying….is it too much to ask to pre-install a sling swivel? The stock is a no-frills grippy textured gray synthetic affair, easily ambidextrous, with scalloped channels in the forend for your fingers to grip into and an angular face to the front of the forend, which is handy for securely shouldering the rifle.
I called Remington and they wouldnt stand behind it. The cross bolt safety, located right behind the trigger, pushes back and forth without difficulty. The same shooting pal joined me on this foray, and as we laid our shooting mats out for the evening, I was clicking the legs of my bipod out as my pal realised his was still in the truck 200-300 yards away. In short, it sucked… couldn’t get much of any shots off without failures to feed, fire ,eject, etc.

Thank you for mentioning this. A quick check of prices of Ruger vs. Remington at CTD shows the cost at $219 vs. $188 (the cheapest models with iron sights) in favor of the Remmie. Several boxes of cheap AE. 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! If there’s resistance moving the bold with the trigger group still attached, check the bolt and hammer. I bought a 597 in 22 WMR in 2007 for jackrabbits in NM.

While I will admit the 597 has a bad reputation, and perhaps has earned some, if you want something amazing and are willing to give it a bit of time and perhaps effort to shine, and/or you do NOT want the same damned thing as all of america seems to have, the Remington 597 can be an EXTREMELY rewarding rifle for you. As far as FTF/FTE, you can’t always blame the rifle. My newest rifle is 40 plus years old..

My gun won't cycle regularly. Your own statements verify my words. (This is a reader gun review contest entry, click here for more details.).

except the two guide rods which the bolt rides on. Thank you. I have had great times with this gun and many raccoons have met their end from hot lead from this barrel.

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. oil your action rods that the bolt rides on.

The front end of the first round should be sticking above the top of the magazine. and I haven't had the problem again. My Remington nylon 66 went to a brother and his kids and it still runs like a champ 30 years later. Third time lucky – I connected with a solid head shot. a partially better option.

If the bolt It was great for slipping into magazines while teaching my son to clear misfires. I have 2 and they are very accurate. However, it is accurate and the trigger is slightly better than a stock Ruger 10-22s.

If the mag's Recently found a 77 at a training center/gun store (High Caliber, Urbana illinois ). I am pretty confident that because of I use an Anschultz 1416 for range shooting and several lever actions for play-time plinkin’.

Absolutely the poorest design I’ve ever seen.

gun at home, took the gun out again to the range. I don’t know where your looking for .22lr ammo at but it’s all over. The rifle itself is a magazine fed, semi-automatic rifle, designed and intended for plinking and small game hunting . I bought 3 nice heaver that factory magazines and the gun still jams on the feeding the next round. The stock’s hard plastic is void of seams that would irritate one’s hands, and fits into the shoulder very well. But before you get disheartened, I’ll balance that with some good news: the first rabbit I shot with this rifle was around the 100-yard mark from a rather difficult fence post top.

I pulled a bad batch of ammo. This is where I encountered my first problem: no sling swivels! I saw the problem. I know quite a few people who had semi-automatic rifles for their first rifle.

Took the gun The scalloped forend contour gives perfect finger grip. Literally 1 in 3 was a misfeed. I concluded that I wasn't adequately oiling the action rods. enough dirt and grime to prevent the spring from working properly. I completely stripped down the gun and clean all of the parts. The zeroing on paper was far from shabby also.

I have had many 22 semi auto rifles over the years. of an inch. 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. 3. Which is actually weird considering, for the most part, Remington quality seems to have slipped since the ownership change and whatever else. closer attention when oiling these after I cleaning the gun, A few companies offer after-market options ranging from heavy target stocks to AR-15 styled tactical stocks with rails galore (just in case the rifle looks too… rifle-ish for you).

As you can see from the photos, I have installed sets of rails off of the barrel and off of the scope, and I have also added in rails over the 3/8 inch dovetail rails included with the rifle (the set only cost about 10 dollars to acquire). The Keep Shooting magazines seem to be the best.
