Worked great, had a few jams breaking it in but after 200 rounds or so no problems after that.

First i will talk about Buds they are awesome in their service delivery they deserve 1000 points
Now the gun this gun is good though but when i fired 60 rounds the bolt handle flew away i found it then i lost it i bought another one then after fourth i contacted Remington they responded very quickly send me postal sticker the guy picked up the gun and after two weeks they called me that they changed the receiver and the serial no is changed so they will send it to my FFL and the money i will pay will be reimbursed but still waiting for my money after third week and three emails to Remington gun is good but it was my bad luck

Excellent service from Buds. This rifle is magnificent. I have a Marlin 60 and a Ruger 10 22 and this rifle has better craftsmanship than both. Great rifle and super accurate. Extra mags a bit more expensive than the 10 22

Yes, I ordered another gun. This makes about a dozen or so. A lot. I have never had any issue with the whole buying process from Buds. Prices competitive, customer service, quality and free shipping. Can't beat Buds. Doug

Was not sure if this was the best rifle for me ,but after receiving it and of course handling and actually using it have to say it's better ,much better than I had been led to believe by other people . Out of box and 400 rounds later I am very contented as I have complete confidence on its abilities and reliability . Of course the second plus to this was the excellent service that is Buds Guns I do not think there is a better supplier than them any where. Roger B.

Recently purchased this 22 to replace my Marlin. Great shooting weapon, very accurate, smooth operation. This is the 5th weapon ordered using Buds Gun shop. I have to say never any problems regardless what state I order from or to. Even when ordering on line and picking up in Lexington.

Buds is awesome. Ordered gun and it arrived at FFL in no time. Gun was in good condition. Took it to the range after the initial cleaning. This is a nice shooting gun. I like it better than the 10 22. Don't let the rugers fool you. The quality of the 597 build was better than the 10 22. Lots of machining marks on the bolt and I like the barrel retention on the 597 better than the 10 22. No barrel droop.The 597 shoots very reliably. Especially with the mags I bought from Keepshooting.com.

Love it! Tuned it up with the Volquartsen 597 hammer and extractor. Works like greased lightning! Feeds anything through it and I have shot four different types of ammo at one sitting without failure to feed or extract. Super accurate at 50 yds with a 3-9x32 scope.

I've put about 250 rounds through this rifle. The 10-round magazine has worked flawlessly. It had one failure to feed when my buddy was shooting it, but it turned out to be operator error because he didn't seat the magazine until it clicked all the way in. Keep in mind that there is very little aftermarket support for this rifle and what is there isn't very good. The 30-round magazines made by Remington are garbage. The one I bought doesn't even feed more than three consecutive rounds. The 22-round Pro-Mags are okay, but they have occasional feeding issues as well. The main reason that this rifle is getting 4/5 is because of the extractor setup. The extractor is actually broken into two separate parts Remington calls an injector and an extractor. I cleaned it once before taking it to the range and then once again after I got it home. The first time I didn't notice anything wrong, but the second time I noticed the tension spring on the "injector" had become slightly unwound. I loaded up a 10 round mag and cycled them all through by working the action and they all chambered and ejected fine, but I'll have to get it to the range so I can fire it to see if it still works well. Overall it's a fun 22LR rifle, and at $160, you can't really beat it.

Took several weeks for this gun to ship from Buds. Not that big of a deal. I still received it before Christmas. It was a gift for my son. Anyway,after inspecting at my FFL dealer. I noticed that the barrel was kind of wobbly right out of the box. I should have not walked away with it,but it was nearly Christmas and I doubt I would have gotten a replacement before Christmas being as they are sold out of this make/model on Budsguns. so, I take it home and take the receiver off the stock and noticed that the bolt was loose that holds the barrel on the receiver. I also noticed that the receiver housing near where the bolt attaches the receiver to the barrel was cracked. So, I try and tighten up the screw to to snug up the barrel and it breaks off. The receiver housing appears to a low grade "pot" metal. Now im in the process of getting this thing replaced which im fairly certain will not be alot of fun. This is the 6th gun ive purchased from buds and have not had a single hiccup until now. I would reccomend if you want a are looking to purchase a QUALITY 22 semi auto, go with the Ruger 10/22.

love the gun but buds did not check the product properly and my gun did not come with a rear iron sight??! thank fully i had a scope for it but i wanted to used the iron sights for close up hunting, like rabbits.

i love this gun, granted i have been modding it. Volquartsen hammer and extractor do wonders. fun and a lot more accurate than a stock 10/22. mine has had near flawless reliability after the modding i did(didn't shoot it before modding)

Decent Rifle 22LR . Shoots well and very problems. Not nearly as accurate as my Ruger 10/22 but not as expensive.

Built well, accurate out of box, add a scope and it gets tighter. Overall good value and my first gun from Buds. Oh and I just bought 3 more weapons today. You can't beat buds!

Super fast shipping ordered on a Sunday night picked it up that Thursday (only cause UPS could drive an extra 10 miles otherwise I would have had it Wednesday). took it home fired 2 30 round mags through it no hang ups or jams with federal bulk ammo. The gun is super light and easy to use. Such a fun gun already recommended to most of my friends will buy from here again.

Must say for the price I wasn't expecting much... But was I wrong!! This gun has made a believer out of me! Great accuracy and reliability haven't had a problem in over 1k+ rounds... One downside is the iron sights got loose after about 400 rounds but nothing major that a screwdriver couldn't fix! Great gun, great site! Will be coming back for sure!!

This is a good rifle for the money. There are things I like about this better than a 1022, and things I like better in the Ruger than this. First it's got a really heavy duty bolt that's teflon coated. Great. Second it's got two guide rods, also teflon coated, and helps to keep the bolt more stable. I like the flush fit magazine, free floated barrel, integrated buffer, and overall feel of the rifle. Mounted a Nikon 4x32 Prostaff and sighted in at 50 yards and my 3 shot groups could be covered with a dime. Pretty impressive for a non match grade rifle. The only gripe is that it came with only ONE mag.

Fun rifle to shoot! Chose this model w/iron sights and added 9x32 scope. Best looking and fitting .22 rifle out there. Can spend all day at the range on w/this rifle and $15 box of ammo. Can't say that w/other calibers. As always, prompt service from Bud's. WHY SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE!

Got my Remington 597 - .22 the other day, great rifle and great Buds service. I bought 2 extra mags for $10 each, having alot of fun with this plinker......

Of course I have a 10/22...the main feature that lure me to this rifle was the last shot hold open .....I must have gotten a lemon since I suffered stovepipes approx. 30-50% of each mag fired with Federal copper jacket 22LR HP......I hope this was due to the fact that I didn't clean it before shooting.....my next trip to the range will confirm this. Otherwise the rifle is solidly built with a big rifle feel. Sights are excellent......despite the ejection failures I'll give the rifle the benefit of the doubt in my rating.

Excellent gun!! I've never shot a 10/22 and never intend to. This gun does everything and more you would expect. Cycles rounds perfectly, even the cheap stuff!! Never one jam and NEVER innaccurate. Open sites are all you need for this rifle!!
