Hard and Soft   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Northwest Arkansas Posts: 4,212 | I've had mine for a couple of years. It is very accurate and very reliable. I can rapid fire my 30rd mags without a hitch and get good groups at 50yards. I don't practice any further than that, but I suspect it would do fine further. You can't go wrong with it imo. I believe it is much better out of the box than a 10/222, but you don't have as many modification options. Get the VQ hammer and extractor for better performance.  __________________ “It is always wrong to use force, unless it is more wrong not to."

Pouty and Perky  Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: SE Ohio Posts: 8,469 | I have had one for a couple of years and I love it. I did nothing to it but put an affordable rimfire scope on it. Good out of the box shooter. Are there better competition shooters out there, yes. Does the 10/22 have tons of aftermarket stuff over the 597, yes. Is it a good, affordable Remmy for plinking and small game, Hellz yes. My wife wants her own in the pink camo. She shall have one shortly.  __________________ While we may not agree with all of his policies, we now know that we have a friend in the White House-Sam Webb: Head of the Communitst Party of America Quote:

It is the rifle I shoot far more than anything else I own (probably more than anything because of the price of .22). I havent had any problems with it except that every once in a while I wear out a magazine. But that is the beauty of the 597, I can find magazines for them in every WalMart. I think everybody needs one, IMO.  |

Member Join Date: Feb 2010 Posts: 48 | ok, I made my decision and bought a marlin model 60. Feels like a nice choice although i liked the sights on the 597 more. That doesnt matter though because i plan on scoping it |
