My first purchase from BGS! Great little .22 for the price to build a competition target plinker/small game rimfire. Just got mine today and installed a Competition Compact Muzzle Brake and Leapers UTG SWAT 30mm 36 color 3-12x44 mil-dot range estimating reticle scope. Next up is a Boyds SS Evolution stock in Nutmeg or Pepper and tossing around the idea of a cheap decent bi-pod to aid in small game hunting and 100yd plinking. I had the chance to test this out against the 10/22 Ruger before purchase and was sold on the 597. Trigger is going to need a little work but it's not exactly horrible. Haven't shot mine yet but hoping everything holds up as I don't feel like putting money into any Volquartsen internals. Might have to do a little tinkering and gunsmithing if results aren't satisfactory but that's half the fun for me... Making this one mine with a few personal customizations. Now just gotta find more .22lr ammo and magazines at a reasonable price. Would be a five star review but Buds took 2 weeks to ship it 3 states and I now see the price dropped after my purchase. However, I will look to Buds for my next purchase. Thanks BGS!
