@rjreid1958 Any place you can physically hold the gun you should be able to test trigger pull. My trigger pull is quite stiff as is pretty much the standard on modern semi automatic 22's.  Harder trigger pulls = less accidents and less court cases. It pulls easier over time as it wears, but it's never been a problem. If a rifle will shoot half MOA at 50 meters, all else being equal the dispersion at 100 meters will be 1 MOA. Not taking into account .22lr bullet peculiarities/velocity issues.

@grannman It is generally inadvisable to dry fire a rimfire rifle which makes it difficult to get a feel for the trigger at the store. Bring a snap-cap and ask the sales person if you can use it in the rifle. I am not sure what you are talking about with the accuracy though. 0.5 MOA at 50 yards is 0.5 MOA at 100 yards and 200 yards etc. MOA stands for Minute of Angle which is approximately 1" at 100 yards (1.047" to be precise). MOA is a measure of radius and not a measure of distance.

@cgpQTIP

1. Per part one of this review, dry firing a rimfire by holding the bolt slightly open won't result in the firing pin hitting anything. That will give a general idea of how stiff the trigger is.

2. replace MOA in my comment with inch. That's what I intended. Had senior moment.

@crazyidiot27 You have a bit to learn about how ears work and the cumulative affects.

@LowOIL Thanks pal. I hadn't heard of using rice. I'd use sand in your support bags as I would assume it would pack more solidly with less air space than rice.

I have managed to hole the plastic bags a couple of times, but if you're paying attention they can last - particularly if you double up the bags.

i have the cs quad rail (tactical) version and everyone who has a 597 in america dosent seem to use a silencer with it i am using a parker hale and am perplexed as to why no one else's even seems to have a screw cut barrel

[chalky2494]

Just wondering if you had any issues with stoppages or did the rifle fire reliably each time?

[brahamcracker97]

Hey I was wondering if the scoped version of this rifle has a rear sight that is attachable. Great review thanks

[MrDip02]

i have the remington 597 and i love this rifle, i have 2, 30 round mags and its a blast to dump 30 rounds in 5 seconds the accuracy is great even with the iron sights and i like the stiff trigger pull...
