The speed with which they zip out rounds is rivaled only by the striking appearances of Remingtons' additions to this venerable, semi-auto rimfire lineup. Easily the most advanced rimfire rifle ever built, the Model 597 represents the first technological breakthrough in the category in 35 years. Because the Model 597 action is #1 in autoloading rimfire reliability and out-of-the-box accuracy, it was only natural Remington develop the Model 597 Yellow Jacket to take full advantage of the superior design. Truly the ultimate 22 target-rifle platform, this tack-driver features a 20" heavy barrel and a laminated thumbhole stock thats contoured to accommodate right- and left-handed shooters with equal comfort. It offers impeccable balance for offhand shooting. With a yellow and black laminate stock and satin-blued barrel, the Model 597 yellow Jacket is a big-time head-turner.
