Alright guys I think I covered everything in the video but just in case I'm going to explain here as well. My plan with my Remington 597 is to turn it into a "tactical" rifle. I'm going to start by buying clear 30 round magazine and modifying those. I'm then going to buy Picatinny rails and install those to the lower portion of the stock and the sides. The last step will be to paint the stock into some sort of camo. This is where I need your help. I can't decide between 3 different camouflages... If you can PLEASE COMMENT and let me know which one you like best I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

  • @mexodus Well I will agree the Ruger 10/22 is an excellent rifle. I would love to get a Ruger 10/22 down the road, this is just what I bought as a young teenager. I will also say it's completely up to each shooter on what rifle they think is best. You might love the Ruger but someone else might love the Remington. Thanks for your vulgar comment, in all caps no less, you must've been really serious. Nice work.

  • @MustyYetisTacticalHQ Sweet response. LMFAO! The 10/22 is clearly a more popular gun. However, the 10/22 popularity can largely be attributed to the fact that it has been around for 30 years longer than the 597, and popularity does not prove superiority. Betamax was superior to VHS but VHS was more popular. I would bet that a stock Remington would easily hold its own against a stock 10/22 out of the box. Sorry Mexodus, just because there are more 10/22's out there doesn't mean it's better.

  • @BiffKansas Dude, great response. It's definitely much better than mine. You raised a really good point about the Ruger being out for much longer than the Remington. I can't speak to all Remington 597s but I know mine could hold up next to a Ruger 10/22. The thing has preformed flawlessly throughout the years. I know this is a different topic but its similar to people raving about the Glock and hating on everything else. Now Glocks are great, don't get me wrong, but there are other great options

  • THose are really good rifles. You need a 10/22 if you dont own one allready. As for your camo, what part of the county do you live in? desert camo would stand out where i live, and what i use here is worthless in some parts. if your after pure second kind of cool, Id go digital acu

  • @tubefed420 Yeah I wouldn't mind getting a Ruger 10/22 but at the same time I wonder do I really need two .22 caliber rifles. I don't mind having two AR's because they are high caliber rifles, but do I need two small caliber rifles... I don't know. I'm actually surrounded by wheat fields which is why I chose to go with FDE. To be honest I choose my colors and camo simple by what I think is cool. I don't worry about it actually matching my environment. Thanks for commenting, take care.
