i have this rifle and its the jam master, i put a volqautzen extractor in it and its never jammed since, brunells sell the extractor, it shoots 1/2" groupings at 50 mtrs, i love it now.
Damn That's been around for quite a long time. I bought one of those 20+ years ago. Don't have the rifle anymore but still managed to keep an extra magazine for it somewhere in the safe. I remember it being a good rifle but super picky on oil viscosity, better use the thinnest stuff you can find.
After more than 10k rds I put through mine, it is still shot very accurately and no jams what's so ever. And it cycles subsonic ammunition very well too. The only parts that I swapped out was the extractor with a volquartsen one. Other than that, everything else are still original. With what I paid for it.. I couldn't be more happier with it :D.
robert shinenne you got one of the good ones. I’ve shot three of these and all of them had issues. Fine for the price but a bit of luck needs to be with you. Like Angel says, it’s full sized so it fits adults better then most 22’s so well worth the price for that alone. (Strange magazine though).
I bought mine in summer 2017. Gray stock but- well. The R 597 is so reliable is almost boring to shoot on the range. The only issue I have is that I have no iron sights. A vermin utility-rifle should have some standard iron sights. But that is only my opinion. I asked a gunsmith to add some iron ones but this would come more expensive then I paid for the gun itself. That little rifle helpt out a lot shooting vermins on the yard. If someone lives in the country outside in the sticks, a 22lr is essential. I am very pleased with my Remington 597
It is a nice gun for the price ran 130 rounds through today no problems and I have a 3-9•32 scope good zoom came on the gun oiled it today my first day so far so good
Good review. I got this exact same 597 to go with my old Remington 1100 12gauge. But my magazines only hold 8 bullets, when they are supposed to take 10. I was going to buy a clear plastic 30 round mag, but I hear they’re garbage. It’s a good rifle and I like Remington.
I painted the stock of my 597 camo with the right kind of spray paint. Looks great and the paint job has held up really well. I have the same model, runs very well.
I have one with the laminated stock and it’s a nightmare to squirrels. Superbly accurate. It likes the Remington golden bullets only. It came with a scope cause it was a combo
I have one of these but mine has the Mosseyoak pink camo. coloured stock, at first I didn't like it, but for the price of the rifle, I got used to it. I found what you did Adriel, in as far as scope mounting, and I bought a picatinny rail for mine, and it is a great addition and provides a better / more solid mounting for my scope ( I mounted a Hawke 4x32 AO scope on mine, great scope.) All in all, I like the 597 for general target shooting and plinking too.
Reg Sparkes I bought a 10/22 AR thingy at Reliable Gun this last annual sale for half retail. Don’t even see the colour, I just see the flat of MiniMags and five magazines I bought with the money I saved. Also, the pink camo is kinda nice.
I can get one today for $214+tax at Dunhams. Comes with a matched scope and nothing at the muzzle end so if you're one for threading the barrel and adding accessories, the one I looked at is the way to go. I've watched a few video's on the Rem 597 and with good ammo, you get great grouping at 50 yards. I'm talking 5 rounds in the quarter size grouping, up to a 1/2 dollar size grouping, using the scoped Rem 597 I'm looking at.
I would put some fresh leafy foliage over the stock and try flat black spray paint and make a shadow camo pattern or something. Or a stock from Boyds. But yeah, that's a FUGLY stock colour.
Many early magazine models malfunctioned. The 2nd generation mags fixes that problem. The other problem are the 2 guide rods that the bolt rides on. Loosen the screws behind them and just lightly finger tighten them ever so lightly. Fixed and reliable feeding.
Irving K doing Christmas in the cabin right now and I’m gonna try out this on my brother-in-law’s rifle. His is a pig and I’m always poking around in the breech to line up the rounds. Any ammo specifics? We use MiniMags since they work in everything I have, (I have some Thunders for my old revolver).
John-Paul Silke mini mags are the best. After many years I noticed that the tolerances were still very tight so cleaned out all the grease, used a good oil like 3in1, (NOT wd40) and when putting the guide rods back just VERY lightly tighten the screws. Almost no force. Together with the 2nd generation magazines I have had very few issues. Extreme cold sometimes messes with tolerances and feeding but it's rare.
Tried it today. -22C our and my sub2000 worked fantastic even though I stored it pretty wet with oil, (I always do this if I’m not planning to shoot a gun for a few months). The .22 was a bit rough but did work and to give it a good chance we wiped it down first. Too cold to load .22’s and we only had three mags but it did function better. My Brother’s JR Carbine was also angry and gave us trouble so it could just be the weather, (we shot 30rds from the JR with the bolt sticky but my Sub pumped out over 200rds) so these were nearly worst case situations for this rifle.
@@Spectral257 i also use stronger ammo but its still a piece of shit, most cases seem to be Either its a great rifle or its a piece of shit not alot of inbetween
This is the fourth "review" of the 597 I've checked out on TH-cam. Apparently most guys feel a review doesn't need the most important things about any firearm...showing how it shoots and how accurate it is. Otherwise fairly interesting.
I have a Remington 22 rifle and it’s all black with orange and yellow dots on the iron sights. I don’t know what it’s exactly call can anyone help? I think the box was mostly black with red letters
I have the 597 HB which I bought brand new. It failed to fire very often, so I sent it back to Remington. They had it a month, but ever since then, the gun has not had a single failure of any kind. I installed a Volquartsen target hammer, which cut the trigger pull almost in half. My 597 is very accurate, especially with its favorite ammo, CCI minimags. I sight my 22s in at 35 yards, and ten shots from this one (topped with a Burris 2-7x33) makes one ragged hole.
I don’t like the marlin model 60 I inherited one from my dad when he died and it constantly jammed and I lubricated it and it still jammed so I got rid of it
@@dormandavis2767 yeah umm you don’t want to just soak it in lubricant. On any semi auto 22 you just lube the parts that are moving and that’s it. The reason yours kept jamming is because all the lube mixed with carbon from the 22 powder and that’s what was jamming. It’s actually extremely simple to make them function properly as long as you know what you’re doing
@@dormandavis2767 it’s almost like if you bought a car and filled the engine full of oil and it doesn’t run, so now you say that car is junk because it doesn’t run anymore. Same thing pretty much
I would like to be able to find and buy a wood stock for my 597. I wish I could find a dealer here in Canada that can help with a stock for this Remington.
The 702 is made by cbc in Brazil and is now also sold by Rossi with a nicer stock and a better price. The 597 is made in Kentucky and Alabama and is a different design.
The things you say about the gun are "picky"....let's hear about how it shoots...see it in action....there is a reason the price is low...it is made cheap...but why pick about the color...there are people who might like the gray better than the green one....It just seems to me that some of the things you say don't relate to the shooting ability of the gun...
Well actually I can agree with you on the 597 being better than a Ruger 10/22 ( I assume this is the model Ruger you meant ?) but not better than the others,..maybe equal to, except I have found that my Marlin XT-22 is more accurate, in my hands , at least.
I have one it is a cheap as crap made junk. Totally disappointed with it. Stock is not even finished to remove molding joint ! Jams as well ,lucky to get off ten shots without jam. Old wore out Lakefield I have is still better ,and it's wore out.

Colour is in the eye of the beholder.
I have a 597 22lr and it is great
I have one with a black stock and I have never had an issue with it feeding or extracting. I guess I got a good one, I sure like it.
I've done some work to mine, but even in factory condition, it was a fun rifle! Really accurate with CCI Standard Velocity!

My 2015 597, has 3500 rdns, threw it, and just a few FTF, because of non stock, extended magazine issues only. Well worth the money.

Sorry, can't seem to make that work

It's a good rifle. Extended magazines are the problem.
I also only use fmjs or copper jacketed hollowpoints.

Can the safety and magazines release button be reversed for a lefty shooter?
What ammo are you using? Mine wont cycle winchester and cheap bulk ammo,,, I wonder if CCI would be better
Very accurate rifle not Fancy which is OK w/Us ! Trigger is excellent also. A Win Win gun shoots well
Would you prefer this or a Savage A22?

Mine hates the 30 round mag Remington makes for it. The ten round mags have trouble ejecting the last shell casing. Accurate yes. Reliable no.

Actually, I just bought a 783, in 30-06, and it's supreme.
Where's the bolt release
Kyle Ward just pull the bolt back and let it go and it will go forwards
this gun look a lot like the moss berg 702 plinkster they use the same company's guns and brand them as there own

Yo!! Adriel!!!
Heyo
Since the 10/22 extended mags became “prohibited” in Canada other 22’s have become more popular. Stupid Charger pistols.
The things you say about the gun are "picky"....let's hear about how it shoots...see it in action....there is a reason the price is low...it is made cheap...but why pick about the color...there are people who might like the gray better than the green one....It just seems to me that some of the things you say don't relate to the shooting ability of the gun...
Agreed! if it runs good, and I can depend on it that all that i need.
These rifles are so strange in terms of you might get one that works properly or you might get one that hardly works at all.
Mine works,....Whos doesn't?
Don't buy the extended mags, They are junk and jam constantly. I have 3 of the factory mags and no problems. Save your money and get a Ruger 10/22
It’s better than ruger, marlin, mossberg, and savage rifle.
Well actually I can agree with you on the 597 being better than a Ruger 10/22 ( I assume this is the model Ruger you meant ?) but not better than the others,..maybe equal to, except I have found that my Marlin XT-22 is more accurate, in my hands , at least.
I like my 597 but it isn't better than my A22 Savage.The Savage seems better quality but both shoot well.
You mean, it's 'safer' because it can't shoot bullets. Aside from that, it's an absolute piece of shit.
Stock is slick but desighn and shape is perfect for me im 6-2 & large person works grear
First
Factory mag and extended mags are junk...put about 300 rounds through it and I've yet to get 5 shots in a row without a malfunction
Remington has really gone downhill
Like they have them made in China now. Stock is not even cleaned after being taken out of mold , big joint that does not even match up right.
When will cry baby cry baby cry baby if you didn't like this didn't like that what you buy it for
I have one it is a cheap as crap made junk. Totally disappointed with it. Stock is not even finished to remove molding joint ! Jams as well ,lucky to get off ten shots without jam. Old wore out Lakefield I have is still better ,and it's wore out.
Really shitty gun got one and it dont work
