Remington 597 Review (.22LR with Mods/Upgrades)

Dick's Sporting Goods combo package rifle and scope originally $199.99 - OD Green Synthetic Stock, sporter barrel, came with a 3-9x32mm 'Remington' scope [since upgraded to a Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40mm Nikoplex] , Volquartsen Edge Extractor and Target Hammer ... .AWESOME RIFLE so much better than a 10/22

i bought one these last year , very happy with it . i bought cci ammo , very happy with that as well . bone stock , no problems. there is a few places to polish that are outlined in a video series here on youtube ( bolt , guide rods , hammer) but if you have no problems and shoot good ammo , no mods are needed . cheers =)

@isofaster See you got real real lucky brother! I absolutely needed the VQ Extractor... and I figured I would do the Hammer while I was at it, and MAN did it make a difference!!! And the best part is, now it will shoot and shoot fast and reliably Federal Bulk 525 pack.. BUT ten you put in CCI Standard Velocity , AMAZING accuracy. Mini Mags = PERFECT for hunting. If you take care of this rifle, IT WILL take care of you!!!

nice review, i got the the same 22 myself, i got the target hammer in mine also and i have the edge extractor too but im yet to put the extractor in as i havent had may ammo issues, i mainly just use cci

@murdzilla Thanks much for the compliment and view. Now I agree I love CCI and its great ammo. And hey if you ain't havin trouble then why mess with it right ? LOL. You're lucky tho. The Achillies Heel to the Remington 597 is the extraction. And for me, my rifle SUCKED at this problem right out of the get go. I mean unshootable/unusable. The upgrade made such a huge difference I just cannot say enough. Now I can shoot ANY AMMO but I use Federal or CCI almost exclusively. Thanks bro!!

Oh and neftaly thank you very much I couldn't have said it better myself or agree more. I owner if its someone who knows me and just doesn't like me. Literally cannot believe he's such a dooshbag over two part upgrades and a decent scope purchased on sale 20+% off.

"I have a Remington Model 597LR ...I also bought the Volquartsen Target Hammer and Volquartsen Extractor ..changed the Hammer...when it came to the Extractor in would not fit. so I called my buddy that is a Gunsmith ..he tried he could not get it in...so I put the factory one back in...called Volquartsen they said send it to them they wanted to see it..so I sent it back.

@DirtyJ78 Some people spend hundreds on computers, even though a cheap one will still play games. Some people spend thousands of dollars on cars, when a second hand Honda will get you to work and back just fine. Some people spend tens of thousands on boats, when you can just go buy a fish from the supermarket. If somebody - with a job and not living in a third-world country, no less - wants to put $160 into a hobby project gun... so what?
