Customer Reviews for Remington Model 597 .22 WMR Semi Auto Rifle

Upon opening the box, removing the gun and cocking it, the broken top of the ejector fell out on the floor. . . Uuuhh? Well after contacting Remington, it was simpler & faster to just order a new ejector for about $4.50. It only took about a week to get the part (Good Omen) and about 10 minutes to install it. After that, I mounted a scope and "sighted it in". This was a dream to shoot and very accurate to 100 yards, all-be-it not much more than a Varmit gun, but a good one!

Seems Remington has once again discontinued the 597 22 WMR as have other manufactures. Reason is they have been ammo picky. This one didn't like one ammo brand one little bit. Premature blow back extraction blew out the magazine, and destroyed same. Silly me tried again with repeat performance. Switched ammo then no problem This was old stock that was noticeably hotter when compared to other brands in revolver. Bottom line. Great gun just be ammo selective and test fire each ammo lot with magazine removed after loading, then keep body parts and loved ones clear of the magazine well.

Great prices, selection and sales dept. Quick delivery and free shipping.

The purchase expereince with Bud's was as usual smooth as silk. However, I'm not at all pleased with this rifle. The whole gun just screams CHEAP, on top of that the trigger was defective. The rifle will not shoot in rapid succession. The trigger suddenly hangs up and will not fire, then just as suddenly gives way and fires. On top of this it took Remington 13 days to reply to my inquir regarding my options to have the gun repaired. Now the suggested repair center is giving me a hassell regarding providing copy of their FFL to ship the firearm to them. This has been a bad expereince all the way round. Choose another rifle and another manufacturer. Wish i had the option never to have purchased this rifle.
