Thanks Bud's for shipping so fast. This is my second 597. I plan on upgrading the triger spring and hammer, to match grade. The rifle is great out of the box
Thanks again for the great service.

If you are looking for a value priced tack driver then this is it. I put 100 flawless rounds through it sighting in my Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3x9x40. Absolutely love it. The gun shoots better than I can. For the price you just can't beat it. Don't be afraid to make this purchase!

Rifle looked ok out of the box, albeit the stock fit well but has seem lines from the mold. The fore end will flex if you use a firm grip on it. Bought and mounted a rimfire scope , took several brands of ammo and rifle to the range, put rifle on safe and loaded and inserted magazine took aim at target and tried to move crossbolt safety off to no avail. Trigger was locked up and wouldn't move. Disassembled per owners manual and found one of trigger link pins had fell out of link. Reinstalled , reassembled and had same thing happen again. This process is very tedious and takes a long time to complete. This trigger group is made very cheaply with a lot of plastic parts. Dont know gun will shoot or not, waiting for Remington to respond to email. I say pass on this one, if you need to make upgrades to a value firearm from the gate it's no value. Just buy a better firearm to begin with and enjoy,
Buds service is good, just wished I had made a better choice in rifle.

This is my first purchase from Bud's. And I am more than pleased with the product and service. The shipping was faster than the email updates, I got the notice that the item had been shipped 10 hours after i picked up the rifle from my local dealer.I have mounted a generic micro red dot (under $20 from amazon, I have been using these on my 22 lr guns for 2 yrs, no issues) sight, as expected fit was perfect I ordered the gun early on 23 Jun and the firearm was ready to be picked up around noon on 25 Jun, Updates to fo;;ow after I get to the range.

I purchased this nice little Remington 597 HB after reading pretty much every single review out there, including all the YouTube videos. This heavy barrel version of Remington 597 has definitely lived up to its reputation, super accurate, perfect balance, 100% reliable after 500 rounds of cheap American Eagle 22LR and 250 rounds of premium CCI. My friends were marveling at how easy and accurate this little tack-driver was on the range, and they all wanted one afterward. The stock indeed leaves something for desired, but for a mere $198 on Buds, I couldn't hold a grudge against it. The stock really reminds me of a rubberized Hogue stock, but it's made of hard plastic with a fairly slippery texture to it. No worry, I applied some grip tape on the grip and fore-end. I also drilled two holes on the stock for two sling studs. The trigger of this 597 is somewhat different from all the other 597 I have handled. It's not bad at all! very crisp out of the box, albeit a little heavy. So I changed it out to a TandemKross spring kit, and have lessened the trigger pull down to a good 5lb. I could have installed the Volquartsen hammer for a hefty $45 to further reduce the trigger pull down to 2.5 lb, but why take away the fun of shooting? Light trigger simply makes shooting this gun way too easy. For the size and balance of this HB 597, I decided to go for a 1-4x24 Burris MTAC scope, which I think is perfect for its application, shooting targets within 100 yards. Using decent ammo this HB 597 could easily maintain sub-MOA accuracy in a light-wind/windless situation. The only drawback is that this rifle only comes with one 10-round rotary magazine, I wish it comes with at least two.
This is my 11th purchase from Buds, perfect as always, fast shipping, great customer service, hassle-free checkout, safe money transfer. I really wish I could support my local gun shops, but Buds' price AND customer service have always been hard to beat. All hail to Buds!

Not a bad rifle. For a heavy barrel rifle, this thing is light. You'd have no problem carrying it through the woods. Only thing that holds back from 5 stars is the fact that the stock (which is a little on the light duty side) does not have sling stud holes. It does have a mark on the fore-end where one should go. Slows down the bipod process. Other than that, lets just say you couldn't get a HB Ruger for this price. Solid, reliable shooter just waiting for you and a scope.
