I had a 597, it was fairly accurate despite the heavy trigger, but jammed alot if I shot lead bullets though copper guilded bullets worked ok.

Supposedly its a problem with the magazine and Remington has come out with steel magazines to remedy the situation. I couldn't tell you for sure if this is the proper fix because I sold mine before these magazines came out. If I were going to buy another semiauto .22 I would lean more toward the Ruger myself.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
