Remington 597 :: Weaver Rail Installation

Well I've had a couple people ask me how I was going to install my red dot on my Remington 597. I took a trip down to my local gun store and found this weaver rail for 7 dollars. I've always been told that weaver rails will work with Picatinny accessories so I figured I would give it a shot. Turns out it works great. This is a really cheap way of attaching a red dot to your .22 caliber rifle. It beats paying 30 dollars for an actual Picatinny rail section. Thanks for watching guys.

@smokeu600 Nice, looks like I found a fellow COUG. This next football season should be an interesting one. I hope Leach can turn this team around and get back to the 10 win seasons like we used to have. Take care and GO COUGS.

thanks for the video man, it's seems pretty easy fo install however it's not the same seeing it than doing it hahaha, i noticed that you didn't use any level on the red dot, so it means it goes flush in the rifle right??? By the way I just finished installing the front rip on my 597 and it took me a while to do it becasue I had a hard time sandind down the stock until the rail came flush, also the screws that came with the rail where to short so I had to buy longer screws in my local hardware.

@piche090391 Hey man no problem... I figured this would help you out. No there is no need to use a level. The Weaver mount ensures that the red dot mounts centered. As long as you get the red dot properly mounted on the rail you're good. Nice man, it's great to hear your are installing a rail on the front. I probably should've mentioned that it takes longer screws, but that's an easy fix right?

I can not believe that I found this video... Not because of the vid. (good) but I will be moving to Pullman in June with my wife and kids and would LOVE to hear about the area... Any word? What are the gun laws? I own an AR15, Remy 700 308 and a Mosin and armed to the teeth. Let me know when you get the chance. thanks!

@swiftcoyote Sorry, you said it at the end.

[swiftcoyote]

What red dot scope is that? Did I miss it?

@MustyYetisTacticalHQ

You should make videos of you taking your AR15 out to the range or something outdoors and show them in action because you did create your channel to go out and shoot more :)

@MustyYetisTacticalHQ yeah it was an easy fix although the rail that I used has 4 holes with any restriction from keeping the screws from falling down so I had to put the head of the screws inside the stock and the nut outside the stock, so everytime I want to take the grip off the rail I have to unscrew the nut, I think the rail I got wasn't meant to be for a front rail or something, but anyway unscrewing a nut is not that hard and it juts takes a couple of seconds.
