Remington Model 597 .22 LR

Remington .22 Long Rifle
Its a very nice looking gun that I received a few years back; this is just a quick look at the wood finish and I was trying to see the action when I filmed this.

Edit: 50k views for this video is more than I could have asked for haha, thanks everyone.

Quick update, I've found that the brand and type of ammunition that you use for this gun really makes a difference in how well it performs. I get terrible result from Winchester Super X, and the best ammunition that I've used for this gun came from the CCI HP MAG rounds. Those ones have yet to misfire.

how come your half my age and own a gun?

[cschizzlefizzle]

@helghasttrooper5073 Well, I'm 20... so legally I can purchase long guns lol.

I have the same exact gun. The plastic 10 round factory magazines suck. They don't feed right. I sent an e-mail to Remington Arms and complained about this and they sent me a free Metal 10 round magazine and now it works fine. Although it doesn't shoot as well as my Ruger 10/22 with the bull barrel and laminated stock.

[cschizzlefizzle]

Really? Does it not jam as much? I tried to use the factory mag a little but it still jams if I put more than 8 rounds in.

[LoneStarPatriot]

Just a heads up, real gun enthusiasts know that the guns magazine is never called a "clip". A clip was used on the M1 garand. But I am surprised the 30-round magazine works better, mine sucked, always jammed up. I've got the 597 with a synthetic stock, but your wood stock looks awesome, I'm quite jealous.

[cschizzlefizzle]

Usually I would call it a magazine, but in this case banana clip sounds better than banana mag. But yea, the wood stock is definitely one of the nicer aesthetic qualities of the gun. If only I were decent at woodworking, then I would put a thumbhole in it as well, but I'm not going to mess with a good thing.

i am 15y and  it is the best .22 what i have shot

[jakeruchti1]

Are u sure this aint a 22mag

[jongiant]

I bought one of these for £100, an unsold lot at an auctioneers.

I guess the bad press from Ruger owners has made them undesirable!

After a bit of trigger tuning, and with the right ammo, it is totally reliable and very accurate. I just won two practical matches with mine today!

I think most stoppages are caused by the wrong ammo and owners over-tightening and bending the bolt guide rods.

The ergonomics are great and frankly beat a Ruger 10/22 hands down. No need to spend cash on upgrades.

Got same one but it was grey :p

[nuke295]

@cschizzlefizzle did you buy it from remington website and did the scope come with it or you had to buy it separately

[temple400]

@cschizzlefizzle i have found that i can achive great groups useing bulk ammo just weigh each round within .1 gr and its allmost as good as macth.

[loganTV60]

@cschizzlefizzle same

@cschizzlefizzle I know this is old, but... I had Horrible luck with cci mini mags.. They never mis-fired, but.. In cold weather, maybe 40 F or less, they are very inconsistent with many if not half being sub-sonic.. The Winchester Super X i have had much better luck with.. Maybe in warm weather they are more accurate, but in cold weather, the mini-mags are very inconsistent..

@cschizzlefizzle

A lot of people don't know this but it is 100% legal to own a pistol if you are under 21. It has to be gifted to you or bought privately. And legally you aren't allowed to buy common pistol rounds you have to get those from someone too
