Ruger 10/22 is still way better

i beg to differ bigbucks98, though the magazine to the 10/22 is far better, thats it. The remington has 2 slide rails and is built much more solid. And as far as accuracy, im yet to find a 10/22 that will outshoot my stock 597.

id say that your 597 might have better accuracy that my hunting 10/22 but not my bench 10/22. I will bet any and all of my guns that that gun will outshoot ur 597 and dont even say it wont. I cand hardly see my goup at 100 yards of a full 10 round clip with my index finger over it.

I have one in .22lr and it`s been a great . I had 2 of the hunting 10/22 and got ride of them .The 10/22 can be a nice gun if you dump a ton of money on them.
Ill say with my remington any day.
