too_pointer Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 After reading alot of comments and opinions on the web sites, I decided to buy the Rem 597 instead of the Ruger 10/22.This is my first bull barrel. The Rem. fit me much better and people believe the trigger is better on the Rem. It has a laminated stock with swilvel studs, and a scope base already on it. Now I just need the rings and a good scope for it Is there many hunters in here that own the 597 ? [image][/image] Thanks again Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: GOT MY NEW .22 My dad has one. His has the regular synthetic stock, and blued barrel though. It shoots extremely accurately, but you can't hardly go through a whole clip without at least 1 jam. Maybe that will fix itself with time, or maybe it just needs a good cleaning, who knows. I have heard of some other people also having the jamming problems on there 597's. Hopefully yours won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: GOT MY NEW .22 Congrats on your new gun. Do you want me to break it in for you? LOL! It should not take more than a few years and a case or so of ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: GOT MY NEW .22 If you know me it will take me 5 years to break it in Next step is to order my 25-06 barrel and scope and stock !!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: GOT MY NEW .22 We've shot old winchester ammo, and some newer CCI's, both with the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Re: GOT MY NEW .22 I have a 597 which has never jammed once. You do have to keep any 22 clean. I have never seen one that wasn't a dirty little hog after an afternoon's plinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
